Damn, I blew it last night by eating half the 1/2 gallon ice cream. It's gone now, so I'm trying again today. I just looked at my old calendar, and I've only lost 12 pounds since last September. No more sugar, that's my goal.

Today:

coffee Cream 30

Whole Wheat Tort

Slice Cheddar

You know what's so weird about doing this...if you would have asked me before I wrote everything down, I would have said that I way over did it. But in reality, I'm only at 1200 calories. I think I need my sense of reality checked.

[3 bites of Atkins Cheesecake]

Michelle....I have to ask, I am new to all this and I am just trying to figure out what to expect once I get the band..(IM ON MY WAY BAYBEEE!) Okay....THREE bites of an Atkins cheese Cake...is that all that you could eat because of the band or because the cheese cake was nasty tasting? I have never left a piece of cheese cake on my plate...unless it tasted nasty! :) This thread has been amazing to see for me. I know that my diet will be modified. Right now I am staring down the barrel of the liquid diet...I haven't received apprvl or a surgery date, but we will get there...But this thread reassures me that there is life after liquid diet!! THANK YOU ALL!!

Ummm... I have to ammend my daily journal because I just ate about two cups of chocolate ice cream. I don't know how it happened. I think I was kidnapped and forced to eat it. yeah, that's my story.

Total Calories after adding about 450 for the ice cream: 1600

Porclndoll the answer to that question is neither

I could of probably eaten more

But Iam trying to work with my band instead of making my band do all the work..And yes it tasted Damn good not nasty tasting at all but I did not need to eat the entire thing. I want my head to do some of the work. I even ruined the rest of the piece by pouring ketchup all over it so I would not pick at it.They tought me this in a behavior modification class I took years ago, to ruin what is left on your plate so you wont pick at it once you tell youself you are finished. I just needed a little taste to satisfy me not the whole piece like I would have done pre band. We were at dinner for my son's B-day and my meal came with the Atkins Cheesecake. We Went to TGIF's and they have this special where you get an appetizer, entree and dessert for 12.99. I ordered from the Atkins menu they now feature at TGIF's, my appetizer was a small green salad with low fat blue cheese dressing, my entree was teriyaki chicken breast with veggies and my dessert was the cheesecake

"You are very sensible and have your feet on the ground"

So Megan - those fortune Cookies really do know what they're talking about!! :D

I can't deal with not being able to edit my posts, so I'm dropping out of posting on this thread. Can we get the edit privileges back, Ms. Moderators?!?!

I have to change my days so much, I really don't want to post it 10 times each day... lol

(THAT is my story, and I'm sticking to it!! It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the abysmal choices I occasionally (lately 99%!) make. Really. And today I have a whole birthday cake on my desk, so there really is no point in posting what I eat today... lol :) )

      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.
