I eat and eat all day long...I haven't got any control.

I am noticing a lot of Snacks between meals. Now my doctor and the Lap Band information booklets says we need to stick to 2 too 3 meals a day. NO snack or eating between. HOW?

I bought some Kellogg's Protien Water and they have 5 grms of Protein. They are designed to use between meals to curb appetite, since protein curbs appetite naturally. It worked for me pre band on my pre op diet!!!

I have found that a baked potatoe is very satisfying. Yes there are carbs but you are going to eventually eat some, it is better then eating all day. I hate when I do that.

I now eat egg whites (boiled, no yolks) when I'm hungry - after 1-4 it does the trick - also cut them up and put some mustard on them. they are filling and i believe only 17 claories per egg white. Sometimes I'll do a cheese stick but i love cheese and usually want more and they are about 70 calorries.

Kinda Not sure yet.

I got home last night and was able to drink a protien shake and some Water. This morning I had like 6 oz of protien shake (not able to finish it) and I was not able to eat the salad for lunch.

I am also on my period. I usually can't eat anything when I am on it so... I am not sure if it is that or my fill. I think it is a combination of both.

I am going to wait and see how everything goes and if I am not better in a week, I will probably go get a little out.

I am at 2.5cc in a 4cc band.

What do you think?

I was told to do at least 24 hours of liquids after a fill. PMS does a play a role in the tightness so I would wait another day to call my doctor. I don't like to wait until Friday to do things because people go out of town. If you can get your Water in so you don't become dehydrated then you should be ok but if not call him immediately.

      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.
