That's just backwards from the way I think of my own Bad Habits....

generally the Belly Beast is trying to take over the its irrational control of what's left of my little grey cells....

We all have ways of dealing with what we recognize is not a good thing though.

I have little to no hunger not because it's a physical feeling....for me it is a mental thing....

The band tells my brain I am full, therefore there is no need to eat, and the desire to do so does not exist....yet it happens even if I have not eaten anything at all.....

It is very hard to explain, but it is very real once I learned to understand it....

Then when I do eat, the band then gives me the physical feedback as to when to stop.....and I do not mind stopping, because I'm not that hungry and did not have the desire to do so in the first place.....

To this day, I have NEVER felt full from eating....not sure what other people are feeling when they say so...

      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.
