Oiy vey that is hard but it even happens when banded. I think that you just have to stay busy and try not to think about food. As you become more seasoned your mind will no longer be consumed with food. You will be more consumed with wanting to be successful to prove those who had no faith in you wrong lol

life will happen with or without the band and its up to us how we let it affect us

and the band will help us eat less but we just gotta make better choices...and bb, you got the banded b's

You wont. There are always going to be bad days but I think for the most part I do well. If I eat more carbs one day then fine if I dont then fine. It was sugar that was my poinson so I have to stay away from it all together cause if I dont I will be a binging machine. That is why in the beginning we are your support along with your home support so we can kick your a-- when you don't follow the rules lmao

After being banded you might try to stuff your face, but the band will kick your ass.

Oh no we need to kick his a-ss lol. I'm game I was always good at kicking my son's asses. I still think at 49 and 10 months I could do it with no problem. My sons always shaved their heads and still do because I pulled their hair so much.

He has done sooooooo many things to make us proud, but he has always not been a student and so pay pay $$$$$$$ to send him to one of the best engineering schools in the country for its hands on, shop style courses.

His major is construction management. It's ideal for him, but no effort to study.

Not the typicsl freshmen, going wild and partying. He comes HOME every weekend to work(he began a lawn business 4 years ago, and now has 20 plus clients). And he agrees, gotta get a degree so he doesn't have to be a laborer, he can be the boss. SO get off your A** and study or I'm going to od on oreos!!!

      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.
