Better quality of health, comes with controlling your hunger with better food choices. The Band has no brain or feelings, YOU are the only one in control of the band.

Best wishes

The band makes it easier to change your own behavior but it doesn't change your behavior for you.

You need to make an effort to change your eating and exercise habits the band will just make those efforts more effective.

The nice thing about the band is unlike other WLS generally you can eat anything in moderation. The Bad part is the band will let you eat anything and some of the easiest things to eat are the things that make the band ineffective or risk damaging the band.

They're right.

I think everything can be had in moderation, so I still eat some old favorites, like candy, etc. But I have a small serving and I do it once every couple of weeks. Not every day. 95% of my food choices are healthy ones. Low carb, low fat, high Protein.< /p>

      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.
