Hi All,

I assume food getting stuck means there is restriction. I can eat one type of fish yet, another one gets stuck and wont go down. Some times chicken works, other times it wont. I feel like I am hungry a lot. I never feel full. Satisfied, maybe every now and then. My stomach seems to growl a lot. Does that mean I still have a way to go to my sweet spot? Could there be something wrong?

Thanks!

JJ

Hey Happy2bee,

I was banded at the end of December. I chew chew and when I think I am done chewing I chew some more. :biggrin:

Good Information for me too, Jack. I liked your analogy, but isn't the band non-organic, made out of plastic or latex? Just curious. SS

only the Band is organic and reacts to more complex biometrics than simple particle size.

but isn't the band non-organic, made out of plastic or latex?

I think what Jack means here is that for many, restriction level varies depending on the time of day, the time of month, stress level, and other biological factors.

For example, if I drink something cold -- imagine having a long suck out of a dacquiri or other frozen drink -- forget any food going down. If I drink something hot, like coffee or tea, my band relaxes.

      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.
