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

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!

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.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
