Are you too tight? My Dr always tells me he can tell depending on my reflux.

Just got in from the drive-ins. busy day, had to get up at 5:30 no wonder why I'm so tired.

Have a good night everyone

Rain

Rain, you just reminded me dr H. has me come every 4-6 weeks instead of 8..He calls me his problem child. Ha, Ha....

Maybe i'm too tight, I don't know cause i can still eat a good amount...It seems to be the iced tea I drink in the a.m., every now and then once i have a glass it starts. How do you know if your too tight or your eating too much? :thumbdown:

Vicki,

Im pretty sure I remember having some acid reflux when I was drinking ice t as well. Now I drink sugar free Hawaiian punch. Its so good they have grape, pink berry lemonade and fruit punch. I get tham at walgreens, cvs and the dollar store. Its only 1.00 for 8 packets.

I believe that I have 5.25 in my band. He gave me .25 at my last visit. I think its working, I have lost 1.5 lbs this week. As long as its going down and not stuck Im happy.

thats how I feel to Rain, when I was at 5.5, I gained a lb and now I am 5.7 and feel a little tight, so I'm not sure what to do. I dont want to stagnate or gain but I hate having heart burn and feeling deprived. I am hungry but afraid to eat.....:thumbdown:

I am definitly going to try the punch and quit drinking the iced t, here comes the caffiene withdrawls...

Veronica,

It sounds like you must still be in oneferland. So thats good. This band is definitely trickier than they make it out to be. Thank goodness for supportive websites so we dont feel alone.

      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.
