An interesting thing happened to Me!



Recommended Posts

On Friday I was eating fine. I consider my band perfect for me now by the way. Restricyion and freedom wise. Well I had eaten some Turkey roast which I chewed well and ate little prior to this. Afterwards It was like I'd had a fill for like 2 and a half days! Finally on monday I can eat. Sat/Sun. Protien shakes and little food! Strange.

I figure either there was some irritation or something stuck.

HUNG CHOW again baby!

Happy top be normal again!

Any ideas

Is it that time of the month? Oh, no, guess not, sorry Bobby!! hehe That tends to be a factor for women that effects restriction. Maybe this sudden 2 day restriction had to do with salt intake? What else could cause a bit extra swelling in the area that might increase you rescticition temporarily? Hmmm. You may be right about something (the roast) getting stuck a bit and causing swelling. Sounds to me like you are really in tune with your band and how it makes you feel and eat. That's great, I feel like I'm just floundering around so much of the time! I have so much to learn about my band, (sigh)

      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.
