That's awful. It's ridiculous how eating healthy costs so much more than junk. How can it cost more when it has less ... less sugar... less carbs... etc. It's a shame that people trying to eat right struggle to pay for it.

As to whatever situation you're going thru... I am not ashamed to admit I have been there and I can only hope and pray that better days are ahead.

You'll have to make choices for the rest of your life.

I have $1, I'm hungry and I'm out and about doing errands.

Hmmmm, the $1 menu or stop by a real store and get a piece of fruit.

Living in San Antonio, TX I deal with this a lot. Taco places on every street corner and I really want one. But, make the wise choice and this lap band journey will take you to places you've always wanted to go but couldn't.

Is it possible for you to go to a Soup kitchen to get one good meal in. It is not good for you or anyone to be so hungry.

Is there a friend you can go to for assistance or a hot meal?

Good luck to you.

Find a social service agency that helps people in your predicament. Most cities have a service that allows you to dial 211 and they can direct you to some that can help. Praying for you!

Family services is not the only option like the above person commented! Call your local churches, food banks, etc. There are a ton of free or nominal care services in my area. Some offer free food, discounted groceries, canned goods, etc. We all need help sometimes and if it's for better health, it's worth it. Your life is worth it. :) Explain you situation to the care worker, they can probably keep directing you to other people who can help. Good luck and best wishes. If you need my help looking up some information on this stuff, PM me and I'll send you a list & numbers to call in your area. :)

      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.
