Head hunger and eating just because it is there I believe are the 2 biggest hurdles. I have had to rid my house of all unhealthy Snacks. Then there are times that I will realize I am eating a snack and I am not even hungry. We fall into well this is time I am suppose to eat mode. Like it was when I was kid, you ate a snack when you get home from school. When I get off work (I work at a school), I feel like I need a snack and many times I not really hunry.

I have got to get back to asking myself- okay am I really hungry or can I wait? If I want a small something I grab a handful of grapes or blueberries.

You can have a snack...especially if its a healthy choice.if your tracking your calories you should be fine...no worries. I keep telling myself that a couple of hunger cramps aren't going to hurt me. Know your doing great!!

Band hell sucked so badly. I hatred every second of that. But know that it won't last long. Keep the FOCUS during this time. All good things come to those who wait. ;)

      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.
