March Bandsters!

[nicole1095 13]

The hardest part about the whole process is the 1st couple of weeks of liquids. But trust me once you get past the 1st week the 2nd week is a little more easier. Just have to keep your head in the game and eye on the prize(being your health). Your gonna gain and lose weight just don't dwell on it just dust yourself off and get back up and start a new day....

Good Morning Every one,

I need some suggestions for mushy foods besides mashed pots. I've been experimenting this week, seeing what I could eat. Was banded on 3/23. I've noticed my weight starting to creep up slowly and that is a no no. I've been exercising with Zumba tapes for the last couple of days, so not sure if my body is trying to adjust to the minimal food and exercise or what. Any one else having issues with slight weight gain post op after starting to eat more solid foods?

Yes I was having the same problem. What I realized was that I was not eating enough. Make sure you balance your day with Protein, Vegetable and fruit. I am eating tuna Fish, chicken Breast the kind that comes in a can, I love fish so I have making fresh fish and mashing it with a fork, make sure you chew, chew, chew your food. I also made mashed acorn squash, I cooked fresh spinach then pureed it. Experiment with foods. Make sure you get all your Water in also. Good Luck

With the first fill do u feel any restrictions. Because I need something I can eat anything with no problem and I don't wanna keep doing that. Even if it's fruits and vegetables. I want some kind of restriction. Hopefully when I get my fill I will b better.

I got my first fill this past Monday. I feel a little restriction and should start with solid foods tonight for dinner. I only got 1cc of Fluid in and have an appointment for 2 weeks to see if that's enough or I need more.

My surgery was March 15, and I feel the same exact way. It is very frustrating . I'm keeping my fingers crossed that after I get my first fill that I will feel some restriction.

My surgery was on March 15th also. Feel no restrictions. I'm not really hungry, but I want to eat all the time. Hopefully my first fill will be next week on April 18th.

Hey guys! my MFP username is sunnyhoney11 - please add me!

Also' date=' has anyone had a fill already? can you tell a difference in how much you're eating? And were you gaining a bit of weight when you went on solid foods before you got that fill??? im struggling over here. my 1st fill is next Thursday[/quote']

Just sent u a request! Had my first fill a week ago, it has helped some but I can still pretty much eat anything, no nausea. The only bad part was the needle, it hurt bad. After that it was fine. I have my next fill in 3 more weeks, my dr said he does it slowly to prevent any nausea or slippage issues.
