Really that is great! Isn't it strange that I am happier for you and your 12 lbs than I am my wieght loss. I do think this has been a lousy week. Hormones, funeral, work, my birthday YUK. I have been pretty irritated by just about everything. Well actually the funeral is this afternoon so that will be over today. But your loss is great! I know how much trouble you went through to get your surgery. You are right. I have found my self over eating lately way less that what was normal but more than I thought I should eat. But I still felt hungry? Are you feeling that way???? I have to get some work done before I have to leave for the day. Ann I am so happy for you and your loss! (that sounds strange-but good)

Thanks Terri!

I hope that things start looking up for you real soon.

Yes, I have felt my self eating a lot more than I was right after surgery... but I also know that it is about 3/4ths less than I would eat pre-band. I use to graze... I would eat normal size meals for Breakfast and lunch but in the evenings I would graze until bed and consume large amounts of food. If I sat down for a proper meal it would be a huge meal and I would clean my plate. I now eat until I am satisfied... somedays this is more food than on other days and I no longer graze. I have 3 small meals each day and if I am more hungry I may have a small snack between my meals. I am trying to concentrate on chewing and eating slowly. Getting use to not drinking during my meals and for a good time afterwards. I figure that this is the time for me to get in all the good habits for example like my exercise... then when I start getting fills, it might not be so overwhelming.

I think we are both going through some pretty normal feelings and emotions. We are very lucky to have this forum where others understand what we are going through and can offer support and advise.

I hope you are feeling better and keep up the great job!

Take Care, :D

Hi Anne-

I am an emotional person any how. But now I think I need to go on Prozac or something. I have been tanning which I do think helps me emotionally. But eating I know I am eating more than I should be or thought I could. Not because I am attempting to push the envelope but I still feel hungry after I eat. Probably not taking enough time and I am so conditioned to drinking while eating it is hard to give that up too. Uggghhhh its Friday I think I will catch a movie hopefully a good one. Have a great weekend Anne and you keep up the good work and attitude. Terri

      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.
