Controlled diet plan



Recommended Posts

When I first had the surgery I lost quite a bit of weight quickly and then it slowed way down for a few weeks then nothing. I just had my second fill on March 2nd and I lost only a couple of pounds and now I'm at a weight stand still once again. I'm only eating 1200 to 1500 calories.

Whenever I went on a 1500 calorie diet pre banding I always lost weight.

I really don't know whats up.

I was thinking of trying The Nutra System diet for a while.

I know the diet works because I went on it a few years before pre banding and lost 4o pounds but I didn't stay on it because I was hungry.

I get full easier with the band than I ever had before so I thought that maybe the Nutri System diet would be easier for me to stick to now.

Is there anyone with the band on a controlled diet plan? and is it working for you?

It's a great idea. I got out my Richard Simmons FoodMover and started clicking off my food. It kept me on track with getting everything in and avoiding the "too many carbs, not enough protien and veggies" habit I tend to get into. I slid the 1200 calorie card in the slot and had a few windows leftover at the end, 2-3 days in a row! So I thought, "hmmm, maybe I'll turn the card over and do the 1000 calorie Blast Off week" since it was so easy and I had windows still open. So I pulled out the card, and it was already on the Blast off week! My band makes it super easy to follow a plan, any plan! as long as I have one.

Okay, I have talked myself into getting out my FoodMover again...thanks for the kick in the butt! :hat:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
