I have been treating my meals like that for the last month and a half. When I went to my first consult.

This is the first thread I have found on this. I fell like I have gaind 25 lbs.

By the way, I have to change my ticker because I purchased a new scale and it reads closer to my doctore, but it pumps 10 pounds on. Dam! been delaying for two days now. Been loosing 1/2 lb to 1 a week. At one time, I went 3 weeks without a loss so the new scale although is better shows me with a gain. Arrrrrrrrrrgh!

I can't believe this. I have just come back from an all inclusive vacation wherein I felt every meal was my last. I was going to post a very similar message. I am having my consult today but I have already booked my surgery at TLBC for April 26....not too anxious huh!

Everything I ate made me think that I may never eat this again, am I doing the right thing.....but then my daughter showed me her digital pics on the screen and I am soooo big. Way bigger than I thought. I have to do this whatever the sacrifice. I actually didn't think I looked that bad. Boy was I mistaken. I am glad these last supper feelings are normal.

I would really love to hear from you bandsters what a typical days food intake would be. Like what do you have for Breakfast - how much , Snacks, lunch, dinner etc.. I am talking after the healing of course. Just to sort of put my mind at ease. Don't be shy, spit it out...not literally though...

Donna, what I found out from talking to so many people - is that everyone does this! Someone at TLBC told me they gained 10 kilos the month before their surgery!

Good luck.

You rock too Yoda. Today was a GREAT day...even though it was the first day back to work after the holidays - some didn't even recognize me - or were sort of startled - I have that effect on some! Ha!Ha! But I still have over 300 (not a typo) e-mails to read and answer ...sigh... I'll be paying for the vacation for the next few weeks.

Have a great weekend. I'm going to glo in the dark golfing with a bunch of kids tomorrow night - that should be really relaxing!

Hi: Not only did I eat "my last supper" many times overagain, after I had the band on I religiously stuck to the clinic's direction. ONce I was on solids my brain said "test the waters". So it seems it is an on going battle.Doddie

      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.
