I am attending the support meeting. It will be my second one. I am not banded. As far as the psych evaluation I see a lot of people on this site went to Dr. Lelito. Don't know his number.

I am hoping to attend as well. I have to travel for work the next day but I think I will be able to come to the group and drive to work too. We will see--I am one of the oldies of the group, not as easy as it used to be, LOL.

I went to Lelito and it went well for me.

I just tried to eat part of a hamburger, I still eat too fast when I am home alone. Just walked in from a trip and tried to wolf it down. When will I learn? I did stop before the pain though, but still had one bite too many. Ugh.

It was hamburger, but it was a little over cooked. It is truly my fault, I was not even sitting down eating, I was on the run as usual. Probably why I was fat to begin with.

I went back to Soup last night and today I just had eggs with cheese and tomatoes.

You are right though, too big and too fast. And when I cook my own burger it is not as dry, this was from a restaurant.

I am learning, slowly it seems!!!

I hope to attend the meeting this month, but my other half is having a procedure done by the Hoff, not lapband and I am not sure if I can make it, It is the same day as the meeting, but I will shoot for it...

Vicki, wow, Dr. H. is sure a busy guy-seems like everyone is seeing him the week he gets back to work!

How are you doing with the band? I went to the fair tonight, only had some battered vegetables. It sure if different without the eating, but I had fun. When my husband was alive he ate everything there, he loved it, and I would have a bite of everything he bought. No room for too many bites now, but I enjoyed myself. Spent more money on "stuff" then food.

It is good to know there is still life after the band! Just a little different focus. Have a good week, hope to meet you soon.

Hey Judy, good to here from you, i also went to the fair and your absolutely right, It was different without the food, saved alot of money, but was sure tempted. I had chicken fingers, was a little worried about the batter, but sometimes you just have to make the

"best" choice. Are you going to be at the next support meeting? let me know, I would luv to meet 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.
