Hi, I just found this forum through TheDailyPlate.com. My name is Lina and I got my band on the 27th of last month. Having trouble keeping my calories in check. Either I am way low or over. I've only lost 25 lbs. so far but just that feels great. I have 85 more pounds to go. But I will get there.

I can't wait for my first fill either. I can eat almost anything I want. I still tend to stick with mushies. I did have some bread yesterday and THAT was not a good idea. lol Lesson learned. I'm actually not supposed to get on real foods until the 1st but I was weak. Not hungry just weak. I can't eat alot. Can you? How are you doing with your Water?

That is great! You managed to loose a pound a day since you were banded. Well, I guess it may be over a pound a day because April 26 will be 30 days for you. Congrats! My doctor tells me the average weight lost is 2 pounds per week. Congrats again!

      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.
