Hi,

I just read your food diary and was wondering how you're able to fit so much in the day. My meal "serving size" is a medicine dosing cup. How much do you eat at each serving and how often...thanks for helping because today is the first day (banded 5/14) that I'm really hungry.

I don't know, really, other than that everything I did consume was very spaced out throughout the day. So I think I pretty much took about an hour to drink every item on my list, except the Protein shot, which is in one of those little vial thingees, and all "meals" were hours apart. Even with all of that "food", I went to bed VERY hungry.

I've been keeping a food journal through the lapband.com site, and I have to say it's been an amazing tool. It breaks down the %'s of what I've had into Protein, carbs, fat so I can easily see at a glance where most of my calories are coming from. I was also able to look at it about 1:30pm today and realize I was *way* behind on what I needed to be eating/drinking. That definitely helped me make more protein-oriented choices for the rest of the day.

I really think that keeping a food diary will be a key for me. I tend to forget to eat, and that can definitely lead to trouble!

This is what I ate Yesterday: I am 2 weeks post opp.

Breakfast - 2 tart size egg quiche - 2 oz (I made a bunch up and keep them fridgerated)

lunch - 1 oz of baked Beans - 1 oz of canned ham sauted up.

dinner - 1/4 cup of stroganoff mushed and green Beans (made with canned turkey)

Had my 64 oz of Water with 8 oz of this Water with crystal light rasberry ice flavor.

I have some small plates and silverware and so I sit down and eat with my family every meal and present the food to me as a meal and then eat slow and put my fork down in between each bit. this makes it easier for me. And I make sure I keep my water or drink in another area thent he table so I am not tempted to drink it while I am eating. (still adjusting to this).

karianne, i did something similar! i bought some toddler size plates and bowls, so that i can get accustomed to the smaller serving sizes. it's been hard to make that transition, but i'm hoping by starting before the surgery, i can be more prepared when the time comes to do it for real! Not drinking with meals is going to be super tough, too. I've started drinking my Water at work from a shot glass. I just hope no one thinks I'm drinking on the job! :eek:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
