b - 6 oz yogurt

l - 2 chicken nuggets

d - 3 cups of homemade tortillia Soup for cinco de mayo of course (couldnt believe i ate this much, and was still hungry afterwards but i stopped for fear of vomitting)

The soup probably just slipped right through the band. I have to say that it is awful being really hungry in the evening. That is when I do my most damage.

B-slim fast low carb

L-lean cuisine tortilla fish

D-lean cuisine chicken Fettuccini

l- some left over taco meat with Beans and ff sour cream from last night ( to be safe 300 cal)

s- badass ff sf toffee blended thing

its funny bc i was asking the guy their if they had a nutritional menu and of course they didnt in the store..the lady beside me told me that the drink i wanted had 2 ww points. I told her i didnt do ww and that i counted calories and that i had a LB. She was like " oh yea thats cool, im a gastric bypass patient and the drink that you are getting is only 200 cal so dont worry and it wont make you feel sick!" so that worked out good!

d- 1/2 grilled chicken salad with LF dressing from quiznos. 300 cal

1050 cal today!! I need to step it up and eat better..

worked out and only burned 400 cal! tomorrow is a new day!

b - 1 slice of toast with cheese

s - string cheese

l - 3 mini meatballs, few bites of coleslaw

s - few bites of leftover tortilla Soup with kids

d - 6 oz. chicken breast, slaw, mashed potatoes, and even some mac and cheese

i am wondering if there is something wrong with my band or if i am just going through the process of needing a fill. with this last fill (my 5th), i had great restriction for about 2 weeks then I started getting hungry all the time and a week later i feel like i can eat about anything at dinner and as much as i would like to eat. granted even when i feel like i ate a lot at dinner it is significantly less than what i would have eaten before surgery.

i did have a couple of vomiting episodes where the retching was pretty hard so that is why i am worried about a slip or something. thoughts anyone?

My partner had a slip, it meant he couldnt keep anything down for months (and we didnt know that much about slipped bands then). I would say your vomiting is because you are eating too much too fast. Getting hungry is definately a sign you should talk to your surgeon about another fill I think :thumbsup:

That is exactly how I feel punkster. I feel that restriction for such a short period of time. I am back to feeling like I am on a diet since I am actually still hungry when dinner is over. I am going to bed earlier at night just so that I can avoid the late night hunger.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
