Stephyanders, I've only noticed one person getting "snippy" and it isn't Wilkie94585. Wilkie94585, it is my opinion that if you still have room for a fill and you're not losing weight, you should get one. Just because some foods get stuck doesn't mean that the pouch is holding back as much as it should of "easier" foods. Of course, all of the typical advice about no liquid calories, sweets and all that still applies too. I know this, unfortunately, from experience. I think I needed a shrink more than I needed a lapband. I am 11 years out and my band is max filled. I only wish I could get another fill.

Thans appetoni. Yeah, I didn't think I was getting snippy either and was surprised at Stephyanders response. Not important or worth dwelling on though. I appreciate the advise. I remember the last fill I had, I ate a single egg for Breakfast a week after, and 20 minutes later while on my way to work I had to pull over and throw up rather violently. Now, If I'm carefull, go slow, I can eat an egg and a few slices of bacon. Yep, I know, "that" is not a good food choice, oatmeal, malto meal, small bowl of Cereal, a Fiber bar, these are my "typical" meals, egg and bacon is rare, I can eat 1/2 of a sausage bisquit from mickey "D's" and have to save the rest for later. The bread is not easy to eat. I hate to go down on the band size any more, especially since I know I dont' excersise enough, I don't want to be malnurished and have to rely on lots of suppliments. Still, if I can't get off some more weight I will consider that too.

Actually an egg and bacon isn't a bad choice at all. Both high Protein... the bacon is high in fat though, so I would limit that. Sausage biscut from MickeyD's... not a good choice. I would avoid. Bread is not easy to eat for most of us. I avoid it. Cereal, depending on the kind, is also not a great choice. High in carbs and sugars. Have you tried Greek yogurt?

Stick to the outer rim of the grocery store. Fresh is key. Stay away from processed and packaged food.< /p>

      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.
