That weird stage between solid foods and the first fill...



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes2:

I have a week between my solid food graduation and my first fill.

Can I eat whatever I want?

(3 weeks out of surgery)...

Right now, nothing bothers me and I'm loving my band. Lost a lot of weight and I'm having no problem sticking to the diet! It's actually fun to have everyone tell me how great I look!

My only complaint is: all my clothes are loose and don't fit anymore :-( Poor me.

_____________________

Okay, anyway, here's my question:

I am dieing for Olive Garden and I was just wondering that AFTER solids but BEFORE the band, can I eat pretty much anything, or will I hurl?

... keep in mind, my weight loss journey begins after the first fill. I'm not going to starve myself... isn't that the whole point of this crazy little piece of plastic?

So, what could YOU eat in that middle-phase?

Hi,I think is different for everyone but I have preety much been eating whatever I want (except no steak) I actually choked on turkey,but if you eat slow and chew very well you should be ok. I had my first fill today and was disappointed that I still don't feel any restriction. I guess it is going to be a slow process.

I was banded on 3/4 and got my first fill on 4/9. I can eat everything I used to eat still, but I am sticking to Proteins first and much smaller portions. I just refuse to let myself eat like I used to. I am down a total of 31 lbs (16 pre op and 15 post op) and want to keep on going. I stick to a rule of eating about 1/2 of what I order if I go out to eat and much smaller portions of healthier foods when I'm at home. The only things my Drs office said no to is steak and fresh vegetables. Otherwise, it is up to me to make the right choices. Hope this helps! Good luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
