I can feel a bit more of a restrition. Last night for dinner I ate a hambuger patty, salad and about 4 tatter tots. Got most of my salad, 3/4 of the hambuger and then tried to eat the tots. BIG MISTAKE!! I sohuld have listened to myself. Problem is I wanted the tots. I almost got to enjoy them twice ;)

That is kind of my deal right now. Just learning more every day

the other thing I have noticed is that my weight loss is very dependant on my PROTIEN! If I get my shakes in and eat my Fresh energy bar every day it really helps.

For those of you that have not discovered the Fresh Energy bakery, I highly recomend there protien bars!!!! 38 grams of protien per bar!! They do have a lot of calories, but how else are you going to get that protien in.

Chris;

Are you basing what you eating on less than 1 cup?

Have I totally missed the portion sizes I should be eating?

I ate for dinner~ tell me if this is too much.

1 chicken thigh and 1/2 of a 7" zuchinni and a couple bites of bbq'd portabello mushroom, oh also some of the gren bell peppers and onions that the chicken thigh was cooked in, and 2 bites of mango salsa

what do you think?? If I should have eaten less tell me what you would have eaten by example please.

Hi Pam,

I jumped on my daughter's computer to say thank you for everything today. It was so nice meeting you. And...like I said, you are just beautiful and I'll talk to you when I get back!

Pam, your body is supposed to tell you when you areeating too much. Eat till you are full, but not stuffed. If you still are not loosing, you are going to need another fill.

This fill is not helping as much as it could, but I am feeling some restriction. I have to really concentrate on eating which is hard for me because I always seem to be in a rush.

I do find myself wanting to snack in the evenings. This is what is killing me right now. One good thing is that I am working a ton this week, so we will see if that helps.

On a lighter side, I am going to wells on the 4th and 5th of May to a friends ranch. weare going out for a Squirrel hunt and BBQ! It ought to be alot of fun. My son and rother are going out with me.

Hey miss Gail;

I felt like such and ass! But really that was the way to "REALLY" meet me; or I would have hidden from you. I really have self image issues. I figured you were taller than me. You look alot like my Mother in law; and I was one of her very best friends and she introduced me to her Son~my now DH.

So we are the same height... In that pic you sent me; it made you look much taller, I would take that pic and send it to everybody I knew.

So...... tell me did anybody notice you lost weight? Lapband a secret?

I just booked a cruise 7 day to the Riviera, Mexico during Thanksgiving. I would have never done this without lapband. <Secretly> I am soooo very excited.

Get lots of pictures in your new dress; but realize in 6-7 months you are gonna think you looked "heavy" in it.

I feel very special that you wrote to me... Thank you.

      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.
