I am almost in tears. I am getting banded tomorrow and my work is having a pitch in today. Big crock pots of food all in the training room. Deserts all over the place and Here I am with my broth and carrot sticks. I swear I could grab the whole freakin pot of sloppy joes and eat the whole damn thing. I am not even that hungry but my willpower is really taking a nose dive. I really just want to go down their and eat the whole thing. All I have to say is thank goodness everyone here knows I am getting banded. So if I eat they will all know i cheated

I am staying on the plan because I MADE IT THRU THE COMPANY PITCH IN!!!!! (I am on liquids getting the band tomorrow) I did that I can do anything!

Thanks. It just sucks. Here at Christmas time and all this great food and I cant have any of it. But I am Stronger Then the Food! (I will just keep repeating it.)

GoodLuck to everyone being banded today your in my thoughts. Mendypoo Livingthe Dream JET's MOM HHWALJ Kelly Mcgee AlysonRR Reillye HeatherA Just A Girl Frisky1 Ellisa

Even though we are not doing a "diet" for the first while we have to watch what we eat so we dont end up malnurished. (that is what my nutritionist said) After a while it will become second nature The carb really dont have a ton of nutritional value. That is why we eat them last.

Wow great idea. I am trying to think of all the things I want. hummm Well ok all the things I can afford. lol

I dont think I could handle smelling the baked bread smell all day and not eat any. Yummmm Christmas parties suck! I want to eat too. Honestly I am not even that hungry. I just miss food

I am on the pre op diet. All I have to say is wow I had a ton of time this weekend not eatting. It felt like I had a bunch of time to get everything done. Instead of like before where I would surch for a good resturant to eat at and wait to be seated and then wait on my food. Wow Liquids I saved myself a few hours. lol

Maybe finding a good support group would be helpful too.

Your Awsome Jack! I am going to get a back pack and fill it with rocks that weigh how much I lose. So when I hit that spot I can wear the bag all day doing chores. So I will remember what I dont have to carry arround any more.

I want the snow. You all can direct it my way! I love the snow.

Walking, Taking the Gas X, dinking plenty of water, and laying on your side is what I have been told

Chrissann where do you live? It looks like this great place near me. I am in southern Indiana

My work is having a pitch in. I really want to scream. I so want to eat the goodies everyone brought. I get to have veggies and broth.....oooooh and sf pudding

When I told my nutritionist I was super hungry on my pre op she said .... ready for this.... Your going to be hungry. You just have to deal with it. Stick to the pre op diet... Great compasion eh? lol I am 5 days in to the pre op and doing fine. Hunger is just a normal thing for me now lol

HSH I am sorry you got bashed on. I am also really sorry yours slipped. I just want to say that this has actualy helped me remember that I need to stick with what my Dr says. If it contributed to yours or not I just dont want it happening to me. I am sorry about the bad experience

Wow it is like your body thinks your banded. lol Hope you feel better.

This weekend was a brease on the pre op. I barley ate anything. Once I told my body to shut up it was not getting anything. We came to terms. My head is wanting to play tricks now. Head hunger sucks.

Congrats! That is awsome!

I go in on Wednesday morning. uber early. I still have so much I need to do. I am at work trying to figure out when to get it all done. lol I should be working. lol

I take a liquid vitamin. I think it tastes pretty good. And Liquids absorb quicker. I couldnt stand the the taste of them.

It could be your not taking in enough calories. My Dr told me to keep my calories to 1000 and walk 30 min every day

I should of posted it. here we go 10. Stuffed: You are so full, you feel nauseous. 9. Very uncomfortably full: You need to loosen your clothes. 8. Uncomfortably full: You feel bloated. 7. Full: You feel a little bit uncomfortable. 6. Perfectly comfortable: You feel satisfied. 5. Comfortable: You’re more or less satisfied, but could eat a little more. 4. Slightly uncomfortable: You’re just beginning to feel signs of hunger. 3. Uncomfortable: Your stomach is rumbling. 2. Very uncomfortable: You feel irritable and unable to concentrate. 1. Weak and light-headed: Your stomach acid is churning.

PB is productive burp. something comes back up. Sliming is when something is kind of stuck and your body creates tons of saliva to ease it through and it backs up like slime. a lot of people just spit it out.

Wow I am not sure I could do that. I dont mind needles or anything but sticking one in myself is another matter. Geesh you would think they could give you a liquid or something. heck even diabeities has and inhailer.
