ANTELOPE???? Whoa! Ok, so I have to ask: where do you live that you're able to eat antelope?

Hey Carsons Mommy, I live in the bee-yoo-ti-ful state of Montana. Right now, my freezer contains antelop, deer, buffallo, elk, grouse, and a little bit of moose. DH is a hunter and fisherman, so I eat waaay more game than beef. Game is so lean that, when I do eat beef, I feel like I am eating butter. I also get trout pretty darn regularly.

LOL, on my third week post op I did the same smelled it, licked it, rolled it around in my mouth, chewed it lighty, and then promptly spat it out , with the best homemade dumplings I've ever made. I thought it was such a gross thing to do that I'd be the only one. You made me feel alot better about it.

Hee hee. We are the proud, the few, the spitters! If you do it delicately, no one knows, but the dog - and he's not talking.:(

Hey, Foofy. Where are you in Montana? I once took a trip through Glacier National Park (beautiful!!!) and Kalispell, and then camped out in the wilderness somewhere around there on a two-week wolf study. I had so much fun there and it was just so totally, awesomely beautiful. I can't say enough about it.

I work with food, so the smell makes me hungry. I'm finding it harder and harder to resist temptation, but I know I have to or all my HARD work will go to pot! I wasn't hungry for a few days post surgery, then at about 10 days bam! It hit! Now I'm counting down to my fill Dec 10th!

Boy JennJenn I can relate to that. I can't wait for my first fill either on the 12th! I'm hoping it will cut my food intake to about 1/2 of what I'm having now. Good luck to you on the 10th!

I have been really hungry the last few days and then last night I started my period and today I am not hungry at all. I've barely eaten anything. It is so weird. I actually know I have a band now. The fact the hunger is gone makes TOM worth it.

All I know is that I love him and he is doing great things for me already!!

I didn't eat so well today....My "visitor" should be here any day now....I have managed to completely avoid sweets though, so that is a positive. I've just come to realize that just about anything turns to "mushy" when you chew it enough...I don't think I like that realization. I actualy long for the opti-fast days again....okay, maybe not really, but I do long for the incredible amount of weight I lost when on Opti-fast pre surgery diet. I need a new job.

Kristin, I am truly LOL right now. I did not name by band. TOM stands for time of month. Maybe I should name by band though.

      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.
