So I just returned from a 10 day vacation in Disney and visiting family in Florida. I was worried how I would do with eating out and all that! While I didn't always make the best food choices, I am proud of myself!! I came back and lost 2 lbs. I really tried hard and didn't feel like I missed out on anything! Even at the buffets in Disney there are healthy choices, I sat at the table and drank Water and coffee while everyone got there first dish. When I finished drinking and waited some time I went and got my food - while most everyone was on their second plate! I scheduled things for us to do everyday that were healthy! Had a wonderful time and my feet didn't hurt after walking around all day. I enjoyed every minute of have less weight on me! 4 more pounds until I am under 300lbs for the first time in years. I am so happy I started this Lap Band journey. It really is a wonderful tool to help you on the right track to losing weight and getting healthy! Have a wonderful 4th of July everyone!

Congratulations. I am going on a 4 day cruise at the end of the month and I am determined not gain weight. It can be done if you think before you react.

That's awesome-- I'm headed to an all-inclusive in the Carribean and hoping I can manage not to have my first gain myself :) This is an inspiration.

      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.
