Chacha, it could be possible. I'm adopted and we could have been separated at birth! Hahaha

I'm so proud of myself, I got a prescription for anti-depresants. After that last episode I'm afraid I'll have more if I don't do something about it now, when I'm still healthy enough, mentally, to get my self to the doc.

Good for you! I'm really glad you did it.

Congratulations! Way to go!!!!

I'm curious what you guys are experiencing in terms of capacity for the different meals throughout the day. I'm able to eat (just recently) more than I thought I'd be able to in the mornings, and not quite as much at lunch, but I'm having a hard time with dinner. I skip it most nights, or just have a drink. I'd really hoped the issue of varying restriction was a thing of the past (from my lapband) but it seems like I'm doomed forever. ;)

BTW, had to get weighed yesterday, seem to be in the second week of a stall. But I'm like a stall *****. I tend to lose a lot very quickly, then stall out to a very moderate overall loss.

Ha! I'm flipped. I'm an afternoon- late eve eater. I have an insatiable appetite when I get home from work. I need a pm snack and usually I get so busy I end up forgetting. Yesterday I was starving after dinner for hours until I finally broke down and ate.

My restriction doesn't seem to fluctuate. About the same amount at each meal. I can eat approximately 1/2 cup at each meal.

I seem to be more hungry in the evening as well. I can also eat about 1/2 cup of food. I can do six ounces of yogurt but it takes me awhile.

      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.
