First of all, Donali and Kelly WOW! you look great! Love the new pics!

Kelly I am glad you sorted out your problem by having some liquid removed. It is a horrible feeling when nothing goes through. Enjoy your meals while you can have slightly biggers serves, and remember sometimes eating again activates the metabolism ( specially if combined with a bit of excersise).

cheers

ps, Its so weird! after being very careful for weeks on what I eat, went crazy on mac and cheese, chocolate and ice cream on sunday, and finally lost a kilo after 3 weeks of nothing!!!!! back to salad land now tho....

I've had that happen before, too. I think our bodies just need to be reassured every now and then that we are not in the midst of a famine and it is OK to let go of some fat.

Thanks, Tellie!

It is weird, but I've experienced that same thing - where I had dieted for a long time, and stopped losing weight, and then had a small binge, and BAM! The weight started dropping again.

Very weird. :cool:

Thanks for the compliment. I wanted to get some saline put back in yesterday, but when I showed up at the Drs office; he was gone. I did not have an appt. I scheduled a fill for June 21st to get some put back in. I have been eating salads since I got the fill taken out. This weekend is my little boy's 2nd birthday and I don't want to gain any weight, so I have been trying to diet. Maybe if I binge on ice cream I will lose a few lbs. I just had a lady tell me that the lap band don't work....she is a very sweet lady, but boy......do I disagree.

ack! did I say back to saladland? I am out of control! I actually made tamales last night (never attempted before in my life), and have been slowly but surely eating them today like there is no tomorrow! It scares me that I can still lose control this way, also because it seems, the more I eat, the more i CAN physically eat ( like my band expands when i binge or something) I scare myself, its like good old me is back.....the me that went on a rampage every time after breaking yet another diet......At least my binges have limits now.... I am just feeling like Mr. Hyde is out again :cry will *I* ever get a grip?

I hope my kilo stays away.... and my self control remembers its way back...... argh!!!

ps, kelly, hope your son has a wonderful party! all the best to Mr.2 and welcome to life with a 2 year old! ( my daughter will be 3 in November)

      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.
