Thanks Louise, now if i could just stop eating! :)

Try to look at this as being a little holiday. You will be filled and restricted again. You have lost weight :clap2: and you will continue to do so. :( This is just a petite break, and kinda like a walk down memory lane...or eat street.:phanvan This period will not forever and it will remind you of why you became a bandster. Maybe, although eat street is a very scary place to find yourself, you can learn something interesting about yourself and the drive to eat. Maybe something positive will come of this unexpected situation in which you find yourself. And, you know, it could be a lot worse; there are those of us who suffer slippage or leaks.:omg: Ugh! Every bandster's nightmare, eh.

I hope I don't sound too much like the Pollyanna who nobody wants to hear. I'll shut up now and go away.

Neenagh - I am sorry to read about your troubles. I hope you can get a fill soon. You must be so frustrated, but try to remember that this is just a bump in the road, and will make a permanent mark in your life's journey. Big hugs and warm thoughts.

Thanks Bandiva everyone here is so kind,

It is really scary having no restriction, all my bad hunger is back! It has really made me realize how great the band is tho. when i have restriction, i actually have to remind myself to eat! right now i'm back with the old demons, thinking about food constantly, trying to hold on (not very successfully) kinda sad and depressed too.

I haven't tried it...yet, but i've heard that you can bludgeon someone to death with a frozen leg of lamb, roast it and feed the evidence to the cops when they come! If i hear of any more i' let you know, as a public service. heheheh

Cloe can probably get you a deal on a leg of lamb!

Hey neenagh, since I am soon to be in your shoes, give me some words of wisdom! How's it going? Are you managing to not gain whilst unfilled?

Oooh... or are you on that vacation you were talkin' about!?

      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.
