Been Kinda scarese



Recommended Posts

Cause I haven't been losing. I am down 30lbs....!! Son't get me wrong I am happy about that. Clothes fit so loose, and I am offically in 16/18 size clothes......

That to me is the best feeling. But since I am not losing I am very embarrassed.

I did call up my doc, and asked to speak to the nurse to explain my situation. I have 6 cc's in, and no restriction. There are some foods that I feel restriction. But it quickly passes. So I know I need a little more. So in explaining this to the nurse she was very happy to rechedule my appt for an appt with the doc and to follow that........a FILL.

I hope this helps me.

I am sure this is what I need!

Hi and Congrats on you weight loss, you are doing great. I am currrently on my second fill and I am pretty tight. I can eat and as always have to stay away from the no no foods, but I do have great restriction. I can not eat eggs, chicken and other meats. I have to chew chew chew and eat slow. This fill is VERY different from my first fill. I have a 4cc band and have 2.5cc in it. I have started drinking a Protein Shake in the am for Breakfast because I am very tight in the am and cant eat. The restrition is nice, however sometimes it is hard to get in my calories. It has also been very hard to tell when I am full, without getting to the point of the feeling like I am starting to get stuck. This is a learning process and I am sure we will all find out what works best for us! Good Luck on your Journey!

      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.
