Tomorrow will be 3 weeks for me. I feel like I can eat anything the last week. I feel a little pit of control the last few days. In the first two weeks I lost 15 pounds. Now here I am hungry and making poor choices which depresses me.

I was banded on the 10th about 2 weeks ago. Lost fifteen pounds too. Now Im on mushies and actually had ice cream yesterday (it was my grandmas93 bday). It was only half cup and it went down fine and I ralized that just because I have this band this tool I have to make good choices. I didnt beat myself abt it bcause I enjoyed it but still i (we) have to watch it. I advise you to not beat urself up, try not to get depressed and make better choices: fruit, Jello, lowfat yogurt, etc. If yu made a few poor choices dont sweat it and do better next time. You got the band for a reason so its going to be a process and a re-learning in regards to food choices and you relationship to food. Good luck!!

please dont let it get to you. I reckon everyone of us has been through similar experiences. i know how i was at 3 weeks... it literally is hell. Hang in there, dont let it get you down. each day is a new day, with you healing that much more, and that much closer to your first fill. Even two months out im making some poor choices. i would imagine a lot of us are. the main thing is not to let that dictate whether we are going to be successful or not. Remember , its a big life change you are going through, i believe its bigger than menapause ( sorry guys.. lol.). Put each day that has gone, away in the past. Dont dwell on it. If you do, it will dictate what you do today and tomorrow. Dont let it do that. You have every thing going for you right now. Hang onto that. TAlk positive to yourself every day. ^_^

      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.
