I feel pretty good about making it through my cookout without hurting myself or feeling like I was under a microscope. Hope everyone else was as successful as I feel! And that everyone had a fun and safe one!

I worked, so no temptations for me :) Although, I may have indulged in a little too much wine last night....

Ate everything everyone else ate only just about 1/4 of what they had ..enjoyed it and then dance for 3 hours and helped in the kitchen cleaning up after the 90 folks that partied with us.

To all those folks who grieve food. you can eat it, if you cut in small, chew it well, and stop after a tablespoon You will find it was just food... tasted good... ok... but nothing you can eat will ever taste as good as being in control and being thin...... I promise that feeling of is better then anything you ever put in your mouth....and you don't hate yourself the next day............Love the success that comes with my band better then anything I ever ate..

was a great labor day (my first one banded w/plication now that i think about it). we came back from the beach and i made baby meat loaf to take to my inlaws (and some other nums nums to go along with dinner for us to enjoy). i still used my baby plate and my normal cup size of food and was content. i even (allowed myself 1 spoon of my mashed potatoes that i make with cream cheese)......talk about good. was worth it just for that one small bite..

hope that whomever reads this had a wonderful and enjoyable labor day weekend :)

      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.
