Stand Still or Still Loosing?



Recommended Posts

Thank you:smile2: I have a 10cc band and am filled to 5.6cc (on 9/15/08). I don't drink anything while eating - that hurts way too bad. I think I chew everything up enough...but what I may think is enough may not be. salad seems to be the easiest thing for me to eat. But I can't stop eating it...??? I never feel the full feeling like I should with that. I have heard that some things just go down easier...maybe that might be why?! I also have had 2 C-sections and really hate that I will have to have cosmetic work done later. Guess we are not as young as we think we should be huh? I don't want to be younger (don't want to do that all over again), but I sure would like to have my skin tones back!!! Thank you for the response...hopefully my fill will help with alot of these issues. Good luck, and thanks again! :)

I am at a standstill as well. I was banded on 8/18 and had a 3 cc fill 6 weeks later. I need to try to get another fill because today I ate an entire reuben before feeling full. I know that was not the best choice but as a paramedic on the road and not eating for 7 hours......

Really make an effort to eat your Proteins first. I find that Proteins fill me up much faster than anything else. salad just turns to mush and goes right on through.

      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.
