    What ya eating tonight?

    Taco soup on a miserably cold evening. I used to feel like I was starving if I had soup for a meal, now it's my favorite meal.

    Tighter Am And Pm?

    You need to post this under the lap band forum instead of the bypass forums....we don't have too much experience with fills . Good luck!

    November 2013 Post Op

    likely that's their rule, my doc would only fill once a month as well. I thought I starve to death the first 2.5 months.

    Beginner Questions

    When I had my band in 2009, this is the part that kicked my butt and NO ONE had prepared me for it. I mourned food. I lost my best friend. I was an emotional mess for a month. There is a HUGE psychological component to bariatric surgery and weight loss...there's no easy way through it. Just know that to be successful you are going to have to be honest with yourself and face your food demons and for a while, frankly, it is going to suck . But it does get better. As you learn new habits and start to feel better physically and emotionally t gets so much easier. You can do this, but it takes some work! Congrats on making the decision to take charge of your life and health. Listen to every word they have to say at your meetings, they've got a lot to share. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
  14. . Isn't it awesome to be able to A-eat real food (the band and I had issues with this....) and B-not be consumed by food? I no longer (usually) wake up plotting breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I'm not constantly looking for my next snack. I feel like food no longer controls me for the first time ever in my life....it's liberating (okay so there was an incident with a few rolos last week...but the rest of the time food no longer controls me.). Congratulations on your success

    Telling Friends And Family...

    I'm very open, friends and family knew beforehand and were 100% supportive (worried, but supportive). I initially had not planned to tell my patients (I'm a PA) however, quickly discovered that they noticed every darn pound and that I couldn't lie to them about it...would make me feel like a hypocrite so, when they mention it, I say yup, I'm losing, if they ask, I tell em the truth. I've had a few say they can't believe I needed to do that and I honestly tell them I've spent my entire life obese and this is what I needed to do to be healthy. I've yet to get a negative response to that. You have to do what you are comfortable with...I'm comfortable being open. It works for me. (Except with grandparents...Lordy Lordy, they were tough)

    Breakfast

    What's your go-to breakfast in a hurry? I can only do so many shakes and protein bars and on weekdays cooking breakfast isn't an option....I've about Greek yogurted myself to death lately.
