oh Paige I hear ya...my pants are tight and I dont own anything bigger. Not a good feeling.

Ive been struggling with eating poorly and been in that cycle of eating soft foods bc of food intolerances. Going to give it a few more days of liquids and mushies before I even think about an unfill. Bc if that is the case then I'm prob done with fills.

Next meetings: Monday Dec 14th @ Faulkner, Tues Dec 15th B+W

Bostonmomma congrats on your surgery date!!!

I'm really going to do my best to keep busy at night. I realize now that the difference between last year at this time and now is that I used to stay busy at night. I didn't have bad foods in my house and was really working hard at this. My band is too loose and I'm not watching my Portion Control. Not a good combination.

I'd like to go to the meeting at the Faulkner, not the Brigham, simply because of the parking stuff. Anyone else able/willing to go??? Please don't make me go alone again! :w00t:

Excellent, Holly. Barring some unforseen work issue, I'll be there!

In the event ya'll notice that I've changed my screen name, I thought I'd explain. I had the same screen name as my e-mail address for the longest time.....and some guy I met on line Googled me and came up with THIS site. Not exactly how I want him to find out. I felt rather exposed to say the very least. So...suffice it to say, I decided in case anyone else opted to do the same, it would just be easier to change my name. Hope that doesn't seem crazy!!

Enjoy the snow!! :w00t:

Hi everyone. I'm thinking i should go to the meeting. It would be nice to be around people who are going through all the same junk as I am right now. feeling pretty low about myself at this point. I'm still doing "bad" things (eating wise). Still not exercising either. Keep telling myself tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow! This time of year is always hard for me. Ya know the darker days & being stuck inside is hard for everyone.

I know where you are!! I finally did it today. I put my scale away in the closet. I just can't deal with it right now. I'm frustrated that I've gained weight and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've promised that I will be kinder to myself this year.....so it starts now. :scared2:

      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.
