Will I ever be able to eat something??



Recommended Posts

Hello-I just had my 3nd fill last week- I first had at 6.5 ccs and my weight loss tapered off so then I had aa fill of 9.5 for my 10cc band and found that I was unable to keep anything down- EVERYTHING was regurgiated up so I went and had it deflated to 9cc's and although I am not regurgitating everything up I am still find it difficult to eat alot of foods. I am so SICK of Soups but I am having trouble finding foods that are okay. I know to stay away from breads and cheeses and Pasta (learned the hard way!). Does anyone have suggestions of things I might be able to eat that wont come back up later? Oh and here is the kicker- although my eating has gone from not able to able to eat some I still am not really losing....what is going on with me??? BTW my surgery was in March and my first fill was May 3rd. Since May I have only lost about 15 lbs. Maybe my expectations are high- can anyone let me know how long until their weight loss really kicked off? :confused2:

7_5_142.gif Starrie, Hello... 15lbs since May is awsome!! Most dr.s recomend that you loose 1-3 lbs a week . You still might be to tight if you are still having trouble eating. Good luck to you.

From what I know, it seems quick to get to 9 cc's. Is your band 10cc? Sounds like you are still too tight. If it were me, I'd go and get another cc out. You may not be losing because you can't really eat the "band way" when you can only eat Soup. Hope that helps.

Regards,

Alfie

      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.
