Most of us have more willpower then we realize but you have to first start by changing your mindset - YOU DO have willpower and you need to tap into what will motivate you. You are so newly banded and could already be at risk of losing your band. Plus your wife is going to be banded so you both must be committed to this new life/lifestyle. And, I'm guessing you laid out some clams for this surgery which was enough to motivate me!

You need to really think this thru and make some commitments to yourself - I don't keep a lot of foods in the house which cuts down on snacking and grazing. I plan my meals so I don't get too hungry and eat out.

I try to eat foods I like but in smaller quantitities so I don't crave a lot of stuff.

But this is all me - you need to do that soul searching and like the Nike commercial - just do it - we all fall down and have weak moments but they should be moments not every day every second.

come on you CAN do this - start slow - go one meal at a time - Put money in a jar when you screw up (or give it to your wife to shop)...

396, I say, eat! Be happy! The day will come when your little band buddy will put a screeching halt to your over eating. Well, you'll still over eat, but it will magically re-appear shortly after consumption. That's why a lot of these people have a band. All you have to do is retrain yourself not to over stuff your banded stomach.

      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.
