The last few weeks have been tough but I’ve been able to get past them. In the last 3 days I’ve struggled with my demons more than I have in months. I’ve been bingeing and ignoring all the lapband rules. I feel depressed, angry, and powerless. I’m being selfish. I’ve done so well and now I feel like I’m going to F everything up. I’ve been to my therapist, spoken to my friends, prayed, and I’m still waiting for relief from these feelings. Please, I need an angel to tell me its going to be alright…

So sorry! I wish had a magic wand to send you the strength and courage you need.

I know that you can do this - but you have to believe you can do this. Start fresh tomorrow and forget about the past few days - don't beat yourself up. You can't change the past, but you certainly have the power to make better choices in the future.

Is there a support group near you. It would be great if you could find other people in your area facing the same challenges.

Chin Up

tomorrow is a new day

I am with you! I nkew I had issue with food, that is why I had the surgery. I was aware. But somehow, with the band, and the diet the issue with food really seem to larger, bigger.. like the volume got turned up really loud. I do not have words of encourgement right now because I am in the same dark place. I saw a therapist for the first time in years... I go back to see her this Saturday. Keep talking to people.

Be kind to you.

Try to fight the bad tape running in your head.

So you failed this meal, try to make the next meal better!

I am trying to this, because I know it true, even though I am not feeling it.

Hang in there, Lots love your way!

      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.
