Don't beat yourself up. I go out to lunch every Friday with people from work and I know that no matter what I order, even if it's fish, is going to be more calories the way they cook it than I do. I eat what my band will allow and take the rest home for dinner. That is my day of splurge. Cheers...

This is not an everyday occurrance I only eat out, if I am in a hurry or my kids have a function that I don't have time to cook at home.

I try my best to stay away from fast food and try to plan my daily meals but then there's reality kids work to equal life and there's only fast food as a option so we should all just do all best chicken salad for me an grill chicken wrap from time to time I try to remember that's this will only work as a part of a real life

I've eaten fast food twice since I've been banded (2/25/13). Both times, I checked the nutritional listings before I went and decided what I would be comfortable eating. This past Friday I had McD's 6 pc. chicken nuggets...not bad. That same day I was told that Chick-fil-a has grilled chicken nuggets, without breading...even better. I don't like getting caught not knowing what my options are.

I still eat fast food now and again. I'm a huge believer in everything in moderation. I'm pretty successful with my band. So I'm not going to deprive myself of old favorites, but I won't push it either. For instance, if I'm craving taco bell, I get a basic (not loaded up) hard taco. And I eat only what I can. I'm okay with throwing away leftovers. That helps a lot.

Like I said though, moderation. And you're okay!

      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.
