Band tighter at different times of day??



Recommended Posts

HI

Has anyone found that they can eat somethings ie bread say in the morning but cant eat it in the afternoon. My band seems to have a mind of it's own, it allows me to eat bread sometimes and then other times of day it says no way ??

Hi Lisa,

I find the same thing with bread. Its o.k in the afternoon but cant get it down in the morning when I seem to be tighter.

Good luck for the 20th.You seem to be doing well.

Saw Mr Toh yesterday for 3rd fill , he is so nice and realy helpful. Not lost weight for 6 weeks but loosing inches instead. Then got up today and lost 4 lb overnight! Good restriction now.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Julie

wow have i got restriction now, had my second fill on 21st and boy do i know i have a band now, have only been able to eat mushies and liquids for a week now (i thought it would be like this from day one ) I think you will find the weight will drop off now, I think i have lost about 5lbs this week. I have a total of 7mls in my band now and i think it just might be the right amount.

keep me posted on your weight loss, you may not have lost for a few weeks but hey 32lbs what would we have done to lose that before we were banded. Well done!!!!

best wishes

Lisa

Being tighter at different times of the day is very common.

Check out this poll. Over 40% of respondents report restriction changing based on time of day.

      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.
