You said you can't eat much... do you need to get a slight unfil so that you can eat healthier options? It's easy to get into a rutt of slider foods. It's worth a shot b/c you can always go back and get it filled again. I had a unfil in January, got tightened in the beginning of March, and I'm not getting a slight unfil again (b/c I am having surgery and I'm so tight right now I'm afraid things won't go well if I can't eat or drink much).

I sooo understand what your going thru ! i have a very hard time with meat. so i tend to do slider foods because I hate to get sick all of the time. i am not to tight.i went and got a total unfil and still couldnt eat meat. my nut says its all in my head.. i told the skinny 20 year old no i miss my meat ! I have even thought about taking my band out over the winter over it.. I work out 3 times a week and I went back to weight watchers... and i am still stuck at the same weight. I feel its me failing the band. i am taking today to reread all of my paper work from day one and start again. I had my band put in 12/13/10 69 lbs lost forver.....

      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.
