Anyone find their sweet spot yet?



Recommended Posts

I have had 4 fills now. Between 3 and 4 I could eat about anything and never felt stuck. After my last fill I have lost almost 10lbs. I eat like you are suppose to, get full quickly and the radar detector goes off if I eat to fast or too much. I am at 7.2 in a 10ml band. My exercise program with my personal trainer is at a standstill right now due to Hurricane Ike and I had stopped before that due to heart problems so this is a big milestone. My next goal is 50lb mark by 10-11-08.

Anyone have any tips to keep this up and/or found their spot?

Yes, at the same spot your in.... I had my third fill 8/26 with 7.5cc in my 10ml band. I have to say this is my sweet spot. I was at a stall between my second and third fill..... Now I've dropped 14lbs in three weeks. I eat anything I want as long as I chew and take my time... much smaller portions yet completely satisfied. This fill will tell me too if I eat to fast or don't chew my very small bites well enough. I love where my band fill is right now... I hope this lasts a very long time... I'm so happy with my band at this stage.

      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.
