Why would that be depressing??? If I kept one, I would be depressed about how much I could eat. And wouldn't be a small quantity. I just measure out what I eat and when it's gone, that's it until the next meal. But, I am caving in. I know most of it is head hunger and thats a big problem. I can't seem to conquer that one! But, one of these days! And then there are those days where I want a hershey bar, but I won't get into that. grrrrr

Hey Susan! I think I just might have some restriction today!

Believe it or not..... I haven't been hungry all day. That is sooo cool. Went to Wally World this morning and got one of those bands everyone was talking bout. I think I got one for the Incredible Hulk, cause it's hard to pull. By next month, I will look like muscle woman! lol

later,

lisa

Hi all,

I'm a new bandster from Omaha and would be interested in this group. Can you give me more info. I was banded in Monterrey, Mexico on March 19 so I'm still in the clear liquid stage. Of course I may never find this site again even is I have it bookmarked. Linda

Hey, Mt. Pleasant Bandsters, I would sure be interested in finding out more about your meetings like when and where. I was banded a week ago and feel I will need as much support as I can get. I live in Omaha, just down the road a ways. From what I've heard about people here in Omaha/Naples we have several people who have been banded. Please let me know more info and if anyone banded can come.

Susan, don't ask.... I have wanted to eat the house down this weekend. I think head hunger strikes again. BUT today is a new day and I have made a promise to myself to do better. How's yours?

LLS, how are you this morning? Just being a week out, I guess you are doing the liquid thing still?

Talk to yall later!

      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.
