I used to have such bad munchies. I just eat a sugar free popsicle and then try to concentrate on something else like conversation or tv and enjoy how good I feel. I feel like eating is SO fun when youre high, but I remember that everything is! So just know that you cant eat and concentrate of other things.

I usually drink a whole bottle of Water while smoking. For me, it has curbed the munchies.

I still get the munchies....awe heck - who am I kidding --- I STILL think of food constantly........hungry or not.........

I can curb the want to eat...........but it is most difficult at night -- after dinner............

This is my downfall................ and want it to stop.:smile2:

Getting banded in 7 days... And this particular concern has crossed my mind more than once.. lol... I totally hate it when I binge eat after im all stoned.& a bit tippsy.. lol. This doesn't happen all the time but there are those occasions were i am kinda out of control. . . I know I wont be able to do that after the band, but it still worries me a little..

Blaze... LOVED Your suggestion about the H2O, plus that helps with the cotton mouth. . . Praise to the Most I...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
