Ok First of All I don't understand why everybody is talking like they are an expert here. so you have the band four weeks and all of a sudden you know everything? you have some self control now? why didn't you before??! this is a support group and WE (fat people) come here for support not to be criticized not be made feel small because already know that we are making bad choices. I agree that you aren't making the BEST choices and that you have to remind yourself why you wanted the band in the first place. go to your local support group, talk to your nutritionist. find foods that fill you up yet are nutritious at the same time. your stomach is supposed to go just like it was pre-surgery, that means its healing (that is if there is no Fluid in the band). nevertheless, I reccommend eating foods that are nutritiously satisfying and don't leave you hungry. one thing I have learned lately (i'm only 4weeks out), but I read this post and i'm learning, that we need to stop looking for the physical satisfaction. we know how much we need to eat, well lets eat that. my nutritionist doesn't believe in starving oneself and making yourself miserable, but if you feel hungry in between meals, drink a Protein shake, eat some greek (low fat/high in protein) yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. (now this is from my nutrtionist yours might be different but you get the idea) sorry for the rant but im not a fan of the TOUGH LOVE many people choose to express. I'm not an expert as I've stated before i'm only four weeks out, but this is a lLEARNING process for all of us. -

Hey guys, well it has been two weeks since my surgery (Dec 7) and I have to say that even though it has only been two weeks it has been quite a journey. I have lost 38 pounds so far!!!!!!!! Its insane because I've never lost that much weight before without giving up but this time is different and I am not giving up. I have been to work so far which makes my days go faster (still on protein shakes will be starting mushies in countdown...2days!!!!) . I know that most of the weight loss is attributed to the liquid diet but the fact that I've even had the will power to stay on liquids is amazing to myself. when it comes to hunger I'll be honest that I have not been hungry and have definitely had a hard time getting in the 60 grams of protein because I just feel so full. They say drink clear liquids in-between your shakes but that feels me up. I guess I shouldn't complain...but I def need to up my protein intake because I have been getting dizzy spells when I get up so I know thats attributed to the lack of protein. NOW IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE READING AND SKIP THE NEXT SENTENCE! now I like to be honest and honest I will be...my only problem has been...going to the bathroom. Im used to going twice a day and I miss that satisfying feeling I feel every morning and night. It was pure discomfort and def made everything else pale in comparison. Nevertheless, everything has been going wonderful. my incisions are healing and doing ok. sometimes I forget I even have the band like when I went to a party and brought the house down. I will all the best to my fellow December bandsters, and to all my future bandsters trust me when I tell you and I didn't believe it before either but your day will be here before you know it. always a pleasure
