Sounds like you're doing great!! :D Don't let all the holiday temptations undo all your hard work. Something that's been helping me is eating it if I *really* want it (I actually stop and think before eating, and don't just mindlessly grab it), staying honest and recording the calories towards my daily allowance, and moving on! You've got this!! 200's here you come!!!!!

Ha, good one! I was just reading about fierceness in another post. Let's be fierce. Glad you got your fill -- goal is to wait the allotted time and note whether hunger has returned. Snacking will not give you the info you need. I am trying for 4-5 hours and since I am hungry again earlier than that I know I need another fill, not a snack. I figure I'm not starving as my body has plenty to snack on in the storage departments. Still figuring this thing out but so relieved to have my band. Roar your way into the 200s this holiday season -- you can do it!

I can't wait to be in your position! It's been 5 or 6 years since I've been in the 200s myself. Im current at 336 down from 369. I agree: break the damn door down! Don't knock! :)

      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.
