Hey, was just looking for opinions/thoughts. Three weeks after my fill . Does this sound like I'm near my sweet spot or maybe a little to tight?

( this was the first since July 07/.25 fill 3.5 ccs in 4 cc band)

My intake yesterday was as follows:

a.m. 3 oz. fatfree low sugar yogurt

noon 1 slice lowfat cheese wrapped with slice of deli ham 1tsp brown mustard fot "dipping"

p.m. 2 oz. LGS fish with a bite of hush puppy.

Water: approx 40 oz.

If I could have eaten more without pressure or pbing I would have.

Used very warm Water with lemon juice to kinda clear the way today, but so far, have only had about 10 oz. water and 6 oz protien shake (with mild pressure but no p.b.ing) I am taking a Multivitamin, Viactive w/calcium.

I'm going to the beach for a week Monday and I just hope I don't gain. I have an appt for a fill on the 30th but I'll post my food up until Monday just to keep me accountable.

Everyone is doing so great! Keep up the good work!

Plan for today:

B'fast~ yoplait light boston creme pie yogurt

Lunch~ 1 c. Kashi Protein Cereal w/ 1% milk

Snack~ 1 oz mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, and macadamia)

I feel the exact same way. I had my second fill last Wednesday and have not been able to eat very much since then. I have 2.2 cc's in a 4 cc band.

Here is what I ate yesterday.

Breakfast: 1/2 South Beach Meal Bar (crunchy, kind of like rice crispies)

lunch - Dannon Fit n' Light yogurt with 1 small banana

dinner - 1/3 cup Quinoa, 2 ounces of baked fish, 1/4 a stuffed portabello mushroom and.a SF, FF Creamsicle.

It is very difficult for me to eat anything solid before 5pm. I simply can't without getting stuck and/or PB'ing. I could not even get Soup down at lunch today, but ate a salad for dinner?

Are we too tight?

lynn/smithkr - i do think your too tight, but my preference is to be less restricted. i've had 2 unfills in the last month because i could not get solid Protein down w/out getting stuck, my meals were taking forever to eat, and i just did not want to rely on Protein Shakes as my meals. additionally, i wasn't getting enough calories in for being as active as i am - and the scale just wouldn't move, even though the calories were low. once i was able to get in 1100-1200 calories in, did the scale start moving downward again.

this is a preference i believe, how restricted you want to be & what works for you with your weightloss. good luck!!

yesterday -

b- 1/2c kashi go lean crunch w/2%milk and fresh blueberries

l- 1c cabbage stew

s- slice of colby jack cheese

d- 1.5c edamame

s- 1/4c wasabi peas

LuluC Thanks for the comment/concern. Up until Sunday I was not having any trouble.

Sunday

A.M. coffee and 1/2 granola bar

lunch:Carrabaas, 1 cup sicilian chicken Soup, 1 crab cake, 1/2 slice bread with olive oil and spices

P.M. 1/2 baked potato with 6 very tender beef tips

Monday, tried to eat a few bites of bread....nothing doing...p.b.'s, sliming the whole shebang.

Have been taking guafinisien to cut down on mucus production due to sinus crud going on. Also, under some degree of stress due to rotator cuff surgery scheduled for Monday.

Today, 4 oz. sf/ff yougurt - a.m.

1 thick slice ham with mustard - lunch

1 baby carrot with ranch - lunch

6 p.m. 4 spoons ful of Tomato soup...to much pressure - stopped

later p.m. approx 9:00 1 cup chicken tortilla soup ( 2 tortilla chips)

I did put a call into my Weight Managment Center nurse. The fact that I'm getting pressure with liquids, well, that doesn't bode well to me.

One good thing, the scale is finally moving again in the right direction. 190 this a.m.

Thanks for opinions/comments

Blooeyze--what is your exercise routine like?

Lately I haven't really had a routine other than chasing my 3 & 5 year olds around all day :rolleyes2: ... For the first 6 months or so right after banding I did alot of walking, I also bought an elliptical machine (which I hate :rolleyes2:) ... I really need to get back into a routine, especially the walking as I loved it.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
