March 27th 2014 band



Recommended Posts

I tired very easily for about a week. Don't get discouraged, your weightloss will come. You are still in the healing phase. What types of food have you been eating?

Delove32 I've been doing 3 200 cal Protein Shakes a day and Clear Liquids. I'm supposed to do this til week 4 post op which is next week....honestly in the middle if the day if I get hungry I've had a 1/2 cup of vegetarian refried Beans though (my job is active and I walk about 7 miles a day so I feel like this isn't all that unreasonable)...thoughts?

I was banded on 03.18.2014 and have lost 30 lbs. I've had one fill and seem to be slowing down on weight loss. I'm also getting hungry. Any thoughts from the recent banders? Stephanie in Indiana

I found that my weight loss slowed down once we went to solids. I was banded on 3/27 and had my 3rd fill last week. I'm averaging about 3 lbs every 2 weeks and am down a total of 25 lbs (I gained 5 back after I switched from mushies to solids). I wish it was coming off faster, but this is not a sprint, it's a marathon. When I find myself getting hungry (my doctor says every 4 hours is when we should be hungry) I grab something quick that has a good amount of Protein like nuts or even a hard boiled egg. I'm doing a heavy Protein "diet" to help keep myself sustained longer. Is your diet consisting of heavy Proteins and things that help fill you and hold that feeling longer periods of time?

Hi Stephanie,

Congrats on your weight loss so far! I was banded on 3/13/14 and I have lost 36 pounds so we are on a very similar road :) I had a difficult time losing weight during April for whatever reason---maybe moving onto solids after being on liquids for nearly a month? Anyhow, I just had my 6th fill today--I've been getting them every two weeks. I did not feel restriction until my 4th fill and that is when I started to lose weight more rapidly. I think I have finally found the right spot but I'm still kind of experimenting too. With the added restriction, I am not nearly as hungry. The pain I feel when I eat too much is just terrible so it has taught me to avoid overeating at all costs (I have gotten sick twice). I am still doing at least one Protein shake a day which my doctor said is crucial in this weight loss process.

Hope this helps!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
