It does suck and every since I got lap band, my lower back hurts every time, it never did before. At first I thought it was my chair at work (desk job) and realized the pain went away after I was done. Although, the cramping and pain has gone down drastically and I no longer take midol, so I guess I lessened one pain and gained another :). You'll get through it and the only thing I could safely suggest is liquid tylenol and if you do sugar free, there are some really good Sugar Free Chocolates out there and there's always chocolate Protein Shakes.< /p>

I had four Hershey kisses last night. I logged the calories wasn't over my limit but I know I had them cuz of TOM. They've been on the counter for weeks and then I HAD to have one (ok four) last night. Ugh.

Haha he is working overtime today lol he picked a good day to go in!

I'm going rounds with myself right now.. Cause my tummy is full!!! (With my allowed portion) but I want everything!!!! Lol

Tonight ill treat myself to a no sugar added Water ice for 50 cals .. That's if I'm even hungry after dinner :/

My cramps r laughing at the Tylenol... I may take some liquid Vicodin later.. I've had severe cramping since I was 13, been tested for everything possibly medically related and I'm clear.. It's just my body :(

      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.
