Band to Sleeve February 23rd



Recommended Posts

Tired of my weight with Hypothyroidism Hashimotos i needed extra help!! So like other people I had the band 2009 2 years ago I took out all my fluids and just recently converted to Sleeve. Thank God I did Dr. said I was a mess inside!! Band wasn't for me too tight or too loose!! Feeling pretty good so far but my Dr. wants 1 month of liquids, 2nd month pureed but I can't wait 3 weeks is long enough! I know it's wrong but I feel like I know how to eat slow, eat alittle and really chew my food!! Anybody else know what I'm talking about?

why is recommended so much on each stage it's usually only 2 weeks of each before food. But if he says so i would follow the protocol maybe since you said your stomach was a mess when he went in its probably going to take a little more time.

No he recommends it for all his patients well for 1 to lose alot of weight I think and also safety but no one else recommends that I've talked to or read on...

How does it feel when you eat too much? Do you just measure,and that's it?

Well i am not sleeved yet i have the band i read that you are to eat 2 - 4 ounces of food per meal with dense Protein first than your veggies some people i read can handle that and some people just stop when they feel full and i think thats too late First i would probably follow what he is saying i agree with the weight lost being alot and if u cant take it anymore start very little food. are yo on liquids or puree?

My Dr gave me the same diet but I spoke to a fellow sleever and she told me that her nutritionist Todd her to start solids as soon as possible but to take it slowly. Chewing slowly and making sure to take your time doing it too. I've been tracking my calories and making sure to never go over the 500 calories and I never go over the 4 ounces even if I don't feel full

      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.
