I can't figure out if I need a fill or am just having "head" cravings cause I'm getting ready to start in a few days!!! I have had a lot of restriction for the past 7-8 weeks but all of a sudden I just feel like I am craving things..which I have not had a prob with this whole time..plus I don't feel like my restriction is has tight!! Is this normal or does the band feel a little looser before you start??? I don't go in for a fill for 3 weeks and just need to mentally prepare my self if I just am in need of a fill!!!

It is normal before TOM to crave and feel like you have no restriction. Once I start the restriction would come back.

Hang in there another thing to chalk up to PMS!

Thank you..I have started to get very worried...as of just up to a couple says ago I had tons of restriction was barely even able to eat the 1 cup I am supposed to but these last 2-3 days I have just not felt the restriction I had and I am just "craving" food!! Plus I noticed this morning I was a little swollen.. So hopefully it is d/t the TOM stuff..

I do not keep track. But my craving for Long John Silver's tells me it is time.

I swear - I eat it and then I start the next day. Without fail. Every.Single.Month.

When I hit 40 - it all became about the salt! LOL

Mmm love the salty Snacks. I've never had a sweet tooth but when TOM is visiting I tend to crave sweets sometimes. Not sure about the restriction since I'm not there yet

      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.
