From a thought to 2 years out



Recommended Posts

I think believing in my sleeve is the missing piece right now.....I felt that way about my lap band and it did work. I just thought I wouldn't feel hungry right now and so limited, especially this time of year. Do u feel full when u start to really eat or is it just a mind of matter?

I feel full when I eat. My plate is a dessert plate not a regular plate. When I started this road trip I was eating off a full size plate. I felt horrible because my mind caught in late that I was full. So I was always feeling some kinda way after I ate. So than I went to a dessert plate now I eat a feel fine I can always get more food but I can't take away that feeling of over eating

Ok I will try to use a smaller plate. I do find that I overeat before my stomach realizes that I'm full then I have a stomach ache many times. I think I need to pay attention to my portions and making sure I get in enough Protein. I've been feeling dizzy lately and I'm not sure what is causing it.

Your body is going through a lot of changes. Make sure you eat and have Snacks with you just in case. I've been there. Your body is needing more but the trick is not to over eat. That's why smaller plates more often is the key

Everyone is different. But if you are willing to put in the work( getting you dates and appointments In order) yes you will get there as well. We all have demons to slay for us to get where we need to be health wise. I am glad I can share and maybe help someone alone the way

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
