Hello All,

First I have to tell ,you guys have been an inspiration and thank you. I had surgery in January of 2009 so far Ive lost 70lbs and feel great. I have a quick question

I was adjusted once, I haven't gone back. I think im consuming too much food. I can eat 3 taco's and feel full not overfull, just right. Is this too much food?? My weight loss has slowed down to about 1 pound a week. I know that's good but I've averaged about 2 lbs, its slowing down!!! not that concerned about it. What mostly concerns me is the amunt of food i eat.

Is that too much??? how much do you eat? Do i need an adjustment??

Thanks everyone

Pete O

Three tacos is a bit much for a banded person with good restriction.

Maybe a fill and better food choices? ;o)

Hi Pete -

Congrats on the 70 pounds lost!!! It sounds like you might need a fill. The one sure way I can tell I need a fill is if I am hungry in between meals.

If I were you I would call your doctor's office and talk with his/her nurses about how you are feeling. They can let you know what they feel you might need.

You are probably due for a fill. After my second fill I can eat less and say satisifed for a while. That's what I was hoping for.

      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.
