Not sure what happened but something did



Recommended Posts

I was banned about 2yrs ago in the US which shortly after recovering from surgury I moved to China for work. Since surgery I have not really lost any major lbs. Maybe a total of 15lbs. I started at over 300lbs. Following surgery I did everything correct saw my DR for fills which I had three I think. I have never really felt that I was restricted on my intake. Anyway, two years later I need someone's advice. Did it not work? Did it slip? Do I just need to get more fills? In the morning if I eat to fast food will get stuck and it will come back up. When I belch it sounds like its coming from the bottom of some cave!! Anyway, if anyone knows of a Dr either in mainland China or Hong Kong I would really appriciate your help. Also, for some guideance on what is the best approch I feel like I have failed and and to get back up on the horse and make this work. :biggrin:

Thank you all.

Hi there, its pretty hard to judge anything without having any insight into what food you are eating daily - how many calories, how much activity, etc? I'm sure you know we still have to put in the work to eat less calories and exercise more.

It sounds like you have some restriction if your food comes up if you eat too fast.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to find a lap band doctor in China/Hong Kong - not generally a weight problem in those countries. Suggest you google it to see if you can locate. I did a quick search and found this group: http://www.lapbandasia.com

      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.
