My advise would be not to stress the process... the band will work if you use it to your advantage. Do not be afraid to eat . I can eat bread and meat - I don't think there is anything I can not eat . I just cant eat the amount i used to. If you need an unfill do not be afraid to do that . Sometimes eating more is a good thing. Your body needs fuel.

10 lbs ago I started Weight Watchers because the band had done all the band was going to do on its own ... now I had to help it . I just started exercising this week ... i work and go to school full time so my schedule is crazy, I just do 25 mins in the morning .

Thanks for the tip! I was afraid that you would say you worked out hours a day! They told me I had to work out a minimum of 60 min a day to lose enough. Between work (I'm a teacher), having two kids (ages 3 and 5) and being a single parent, I barely get in 45 minutes if I split it up morning/evening.

      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.
