Hey guys!! i was banded June 28th, 2011 and i am happy to say in 10 days counting the liquid diet i am down a total of 15.5 pounds..Now i know thats a good thing. But here is what i feel bad about in am only 7 days post op and i am having hunger pains and today like yesterday i felt i needed more because ive been on liquids...so i moved to the next stage and tried applesauce and it hit the spot! i have to say then i got really hungry later in the day so i tried tuna it went well, so i dif tuna again today...but i feel bad because today i ate a chicken leg...here is what my day looked like today guys: Monday Brfst-¼ cup of tuna 70 calories 6 ½ grahams of Protein Lunch- 1 Scoops of lean body protein @ 240 calories 25 grahams of protein 1 shot of liquid weigh grape protein @ 180 calories and 21 grahams of protein Calorie totals today =420 Calorie goal 1,000 Water - 56 ounces of today Protein totals = 52 ½ grahms So then at 2 am i felt hungry wanted something heavier so i ate a baked chicken drumstick that i put a little chicken broth on..is that bad

Thanks so much that makes loads of sense :) i have given myself a major slap on the wrists..i am preety much a by the book person..i will make sure to do this the right way from here on out..and hey i am down 16.6 pounds today since my surgery on the 28th of june woot woot i want to do this the right way so i can maximize my results ) thank you so much! for taking time to post i really do appreciate it God bless

every doctor differs..and i have a friend who chews gum EVERYDAY to control her hunger and she has for two years...its really comes down to a personal choice..

well my liquid diet starts in a week so i am not just having a last supper i am having a weeks of last suppers lol :)

I beleive the best way tol find out is to hear it from people experiences themselves...im sorry this happen to you..but i personally no many people who have had the sleeve and the band and are well..you need a support group..that is going through exactly what you are. So i suggest you try to find some people who have been where you are. Here are some links to start with :) And there are many more dont fear change..fear not making a change

Hey guys i am in no way new to the forum..but i have made my decision to be banded after 5 years! yes i said 5 years. Between being sick for 3 of those years and trying on my own; i researched this for 5 years so i beleive with all my heart it can not be said that i am going into this blindly! ive had some resistance from family and friends...but for once! its not about them it is about me. I am doing this for me!! My surgery date is June 28th 2011 :) i am excited and a bit nervous all the same..but i am happy to say i am on board and can not wait to make all your aquantaices and be on the losers bench with you all
