I was banded on the 17th and I am so nauseated by the smell of chicken soup or any type of cream soup. Just the thoughts of it makes me start to gag. I am so ready for something else. Does anybody have any suggestions >

I was banded on the 17th of April and I too am tired of eating soup and protein shakes. I am not really hungry at all after eating one or two tablespoons of pudding or yogurt but I an so ready to eat something good like a real meal. My Dr has not allowed to eat eggs or anything else with any type of substance. I go back to see him on the 24th so I hope he will allow me to have something different instead of waiting another week of full liquids.

Because I feel so anxious about not having anything in my stomach. Also on my final appointment I meet a girl in the waiting room that had her surgery a week prior and she said that she had cheated until 2 days before the surgery. So I think that is why I have been able to let myself cheat so easily.

I am just at the cut off for the BMI 38% I am 5'3" and 205.. What do you think about doing just the 3 day liquid diet, instead of the 2 weeks of slim fast and cottage cheese??

My surgery is on the 17th, my Dr. also put me on a 2 week diet. But I know that some Dr. just make you do a 2 or 3 day fasting diet of pure liquids.. I have not done well the past week have have had Pizza twice and a small bag of chips. I think I will do the 3 day liquid diet on my last days, just because I have cheated so much. What do you think??

I will be banded April 17. I started my diet Thursday but I have already cheated. I ate pizza and garlic bread, but I only ate 2 slim fast and and apple and lots of water. I am promising myself that I will not cheat anymore. I have read that other people did not fast for 2 full weeks so I am hoping that by being good for the rest of the time I will be ok>>

I am going to be banded in April.. But I also have been eating everything in site and because of that I have gained 20 lbs since I started this process in October. (I had 6 months of hoops to go through to be approved by the insurance.) I start my 2 week fasting April 3rd I hope I don't cheat.

I have been told that you can not drink alcohol after the surgery ?? I have gone on a cruise about every 6 months for the past 3 years. and it is the highlight of my year, we go with three other couples and we eat and drink a lot. I am concerned that I will not be able to join in on the fun, but I will be thin and look good.

Thanks for the info.. Just the thoughts of going to the Caribbean with out having the cabana boy bringing us a rum in a coco on the beach. We are planning a trip in June which will be 2 months post op. Thanks again.

Thank you for the reply. I defiantly eat out of boredom or I think that I deserve it. I have another question for you. I start my 2 week diet on the 3rd of April so now I am eating twice as much because I know that I cant ever binge on all of my favorite junk food. Can you give me any suggestions on how to stop this destructional pattern this week. Thank You

That is exactly how I eat, I hope the lap-band will make me eat more sins able and I will fell healthy. Eat, binge fell guilty then do it again the next day.

I am in the same boat as you are. I'm 5'2" and 208 LB and I don't know if I will be able to stop my bad habits such as pizza, chips, candy bars and other food that has made me this way.. I guess that I am in denial that I will be able to stop my bad eating behaviors. My surgery isn't for a few weeks. I haven't started my pre-opt yet, that will be a true test..

I am scheduled for surgery 4/17/08 so I will start the pre opt in a few weeks. I'm so afraid that I will cheat because I didn't get this big from not cheating on all of the other diets I have been on in my life. I need all of the suggestions on how to get through this. Thanks
