Yes it is frustrating but you lost 56 pounds so far and that is awesome! Hang in there! I know about stones because my husband was from Ireland and I've bern to Ireland 18 times.

I have been banded since 12/28/12 and just when I think I've hit the green zone my body still wants to eat. I'm very optimistic however despite some setbacks I've had with an unsupportive doctor. He feels I'm losing too slow but I'm still losing! So hang in there!. I still have 70 lbs to go but that's my personal goal. My doctor would be happy (my surgeon) if I lost just 50 lbs more. I am determined to hit my goal and maintain it when I get there.

I wish you well in your weight loss journey and take it one day at a time. I'm setting my goals of losing 10 lbs at a time otherwise it becomes overwhelming.

Been for a further fill I'm up to 12.40 in my 14cc band and my nurse tells me that I'm doing fine. She thinks its psychological hunger and that I need to drink more fluids so that my brain keeps registering its full. I tried it today and it worked !

PMS gets me. Doing great, not hungry, eating small amounts. Then BAM! I'm hungry and I crave milk. And I shake my head as I know it's PMS. Been that way since I was a teenager. And I can eat more. Not pre band more but just more than the week before. So I have some of what I crave and spend a lil extra time on my bike.

      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.
