Calorie Counting...



Recommended Posts

I've had a bad night. I cooked a great dinner and none of it stayed down. I think the pork I cooked had too much fat in it. Anyway, I log my calories daily. Here's my stupid question, since none of what I ate stayed down, do I still log that food and if so how much of it? :w00t:

I would not think that you would count the calories if you didn't keep it down.

Is this a something that happens frequently for you?

Can I ask why you are having a revision to the sleeve....I am considering it also.

I am having a revision because I am tired of the band. I am tired of fills and unfills. I was throwing up in my sleep so I had to have a lot of my fill removed. I was too tight and didn't even know it. I hadn't had a fill for a year. Nothing ever got stuck. I never threw up in the daytime. Suddenly at 3am I would wake up choking on vomit.

I keep hearing about complications from people who have had their band for several years. I just want it out. With the sleeve I will have surgery and be done with worrying about restriction.

I have had my band for 2 1/4 years, and I just started having the same issues. Waking up at night choking even though I quit eating at 6:30 pm. I had a slight unfill to try to correct the problem and it worked a little bit, I sure wish I had been given the sleeve as an option to the band.

Good luck !

I would do it again, I would first find out more information about the gastric sleeve, you can look up the procedure on the website, just to have more options. But I am very happy, I have lost 120 lbs in 2.4 years with very little trouble.

Good Luck

      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.
