Question: i still eat very fast in bigish bites. when will my band stop me from doing that? i have 5.6 in i believe (2 fills)..going for my 3rd.

i've been as high as 8.5cc in my band, and now comfortably @ 7.2. i too have a tendency to eat fast - but meats ALWAYS check me it seems, and i have to slow down a bunch. so far i've had 8 fills & 2 unfills, and it was around fill #5 that i couldn't inhale my meals:eek:, hopefully fill #3 will work for ya!!!

See meats don't bother me. It was only the one time i wrote about with the Breakfast sandwhich lol (the one bite i took). I don't, however, eat steak. Well i'm hoping it gets me in check..we'll see on Wednesday i suppose!! I can eat my entire meal in 15 min flat (and i usually do) and when i'm done--every single i'm i'm like "crap i should slow down"...

Do you put your fork down in between every bite? I used to eat really fast and getting into that habit has helped a lot!

Georgia---have you already had dinner? ???????? or are you projecting what you will have?

No, I had not had dinner yet. I would be starving if I ate that early, lol. I usually know what I'm going to eat in advance though. I tend to eat better if I have a plan and stick to it.

Hehehe, I gotta ask....what are naked nuggets??? The name makes me giggle!!

I giggled too. :thumbup: Georgia, I really love to see what you and BlooeyeZ eat everyday. I don't like to cook, so I'm not very creative as you can see what I eat. You should see me in the grocery store trying to find some of the things you all eat. I still cannot find "greek yogurt" yet. I live in a small town and a lot of the foods I can't find.:sad:

Today

B- coffee, 1 boiled egg and 3 slices of bacon

L- 2oz tuna, 1tsp low fat mayo, 1 tsp relish, (it was that tuna in a kit) and 6 wheat crackers

S- The last of the nut mix (almonds, raisins, brazil nut and peunuts)

D- 2 chicken strips (1 came back up:mad:) so I'm having yogurt and cottage cheese (2 ozs ea)

I just found greek yogurt. I live in a relatively small town too and the Walmart here just started carrying a greek yogurt. I grab them up everytime I go in because there usually isn't very many in stock, lol. I love getting ideas from this thread!!

Georgia Girl,

They are chicken nuggets without the breading.I picked them up at costco and they are called naked nuggets...

LOL, okay....that makes sense. Is the meat processed, like a real chicken nugget? If so, that would be really good, especially on days I can't handle a lot of meat. Does it go down with no problem for you?

      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.
