I agree! I will miss Bagels and pizza more than anything, but they're part of the reason I'm obese. I can't eat them in moderation, and I don't want to. I think the reason for banding is to get healthy and thin.

I've accepted the fact that there are just certain foods I won't be eating anymore, kind of like an alcoholic accepts the fact that (s)he can't drink anymore.

Hey, Jono and Jenin you took the words right out of my mouth! You should definately not be eating pizza three weeks out. If you must have a slice, wait until you have lost most of your weight and then and only then have it as an occasional treat. Susannah

Ask yourself why you would even WANT pizza? You didn't go through surgery to eat crap like that. Since I am going to eat only 2 ounces I want it to be the best for me. With 15 year old twins, pizza is part of my life. If they order in I use the chance to steam a nice Alasken crab leg for myself. At the parlor I order a fried chicken breast and remove all the skin and have it with a small salad. Once you get your mind around it....you would not want to pass up some delicious and healthful lean Protein for carbs and fat.

Just my thought ... but then again I have my problem foods as well

Depends on what is on your pizza.. If you make it yourself, it can be quite healthy. Carbs are necessary for optimal health and energy, just not to excess. My favorite is one with balsamic viniger, spinach, tiny bit of ricotta cheese, and shrimp. :)

      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.
