I recently discovered Choco Perfection mini Dark European chocolate bars. Each mini bar is sugar free, has 39 calories, 1g net carb, 3g Fiber and is gluten free. I love that I can have something small and portioned controlled during the holidays.

@@Treadmillwalker, that sounds good. How are you liking your new band? Haven't heard many people getting that surgery. Is it less invasive than sleeve?

I love my band. Yes, less invasive. All surgeries have the possibility of complications. In my opinion those rest on the skill of the surgeon and compliance of the patient. I went through 6 months of classes pre-surgery per insurance requirement. I worked closely with the bariatric nurse and dietician to learn about the WLS options. I chose lapband as it is adjustable and we believe I will be successful with it. It is a tool o help me in my journey. I still have to eat less, exercise more--the same as sleeve and bypass. My weightloss may be slower, but the three year average is the same for all the surgeries per my surgeon.

      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.
