hang in there donna. i am on day 11 for all liquid. its def (head hunger). just drink some cold water and think of the prize you are heading for. its what i am doing. you are doing so well. congrats

next wed at 730 i am scheduled to get my lap band w/plication and am getting nervous....

kah, you will get there and then some super super proud of you

hi mdlapband..........we be neighbors how are you doing??????

when i started my liquids, the first couple days i did have headache and felt (dizzy etc) but it does get better. i am on day 10 of this 14 liquid liver diet. you just keep pushing on and realize it is mental. you will learn what head hunger is and when you are really hungry. (( you both can do this)) (((hugs to donna and ready))))

you will only be giving them up for alittle while (and then just eat small amounts of them later). it is worth is and i promise you will do just fine. first couple days are the worse and then its (normal) almost.

yes day 9 of all liquid...........so i understand the grumbiness etc..its normal. popsicles and crystal light have kept me from jumping off mount everast or robbing domonio's pizza. the protein keeps me not hungry. def a mind game. i am doing this because my dr said my liver needs to be as small as can be. so i am doing what i have too. you are doing soooo well. i am proud of you

hey shon and ready i thought that very same thing and i let it get into my head. i overthought it. when the time came, i just did what i had to do. the first 2 days were the hardest. i am on day 9 and i cant believe i made it this far. you will too. drink your protein because that is what feeds you. hang in there

hey velma, i am getting banded on the 6th also.

congrats on the band and on the weight loss but most importantly for those medicines........that is fantastic so how have you being eating? you must be doing something wonderful so spill the beans and congrats one more time

bama, what is this? i have not heard of this?

didnt know i had it either until my clinic made me go and have one done. i have had my cpac for 2 weeks now and sleep wonderfully well. the mask i have is small and fits comfortably over your nose and i can turn on my side/stomach w/no problems. look at this as a helpful tool for your health. i woke up 113x per night and my oxygen fell into the 70s during REM......these things can be dangerous as msmac stated. i am sending my hub to our pcd to get a referral to have this test done also. again, you will wake up feeling 100% BETTER.

are you able to give some (dinner options or lunch or breakfast) maybe a daily menu??

what type of carbs do you eat miss?

ok miss.........to the pre banders and the newbies, tell us how you did it.....what you ate or didnt eat and any advice you can offer us (me). congrats, i am so proud of you. i hope this can be me one day

hi cf, on my blog, i put on a band w/plication and it shows a picture and it tells about it if you are interested in seeing it. i am excited to get it myself. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blog/6434/entry-23477-laparoscopic-gastric-band-plication-what-i-am-getting-on-june-6th/

pr, yes you can. i thought that very same thing. by day 3 or 4, this will all be the norm. are you drinking your broth?? thst does fill you up. dont forget the popsickles all you can eat.. you can do this.

hey ready, it will pass. if not, drink something cold and try to take your mind off of it. it does get easier.i recall reading that and thinking (yeah right) but its true. it really is. i now recall head hunger vs real hunger.

kah......how we doing? liquids only for a month?

hey donna. dont blame you one bit. i went out for a (last meal) and enjoyed every bite. that was two weeks ago tomorrow. the 13th will be here before you know it. congrats on this wonderful and exciting news.

yes shr, first couple of days. but i drank alot, did the pop sickles and the chicken broth and it goes away. took some tylenol when my head hurt but it will pass (i hope). i am day 8 so i am right there w/you GF

this is what doctor told me i am getting. has anyone else had this?? how did it go?

i think i will do both. give it a whirl and see how that goes.

thanks mis, i am really trying very hard.this thursday, be 3 weeks w/no food. unreal. never in a million years did i think id ever be able to do that.
