I am getting my band on 4-24. I am nervous about this. I have been out of work with back problems since January 3. I sit around the house every day with nothing to do. I am supposed to be on a pre-op Atkins diet. It is very hard to just sit around home and not eat. What do you guys do to keep your mind off of eating when at home?

Video games, reading, writing, PC Games

Try Call of Duty 4, World of Warcraft, battlefield 2142, Battlefield Vietnam, Star Wars Empire at War :rolleyes2:

I eat things I can eat on my pre-op diet. sugar free popcicles, sugar free Jello and sugar free Jello pudding. I'll drink Special K Protein Water. If I'm really starving I will have a Lean Cuisine turkey/greenbeans frozen meal. It's only about 150 calories.

I'm not on Atkins, though.

I find that watching tv or being on the computer, reading a book, isn't enough to keep me from eating. But some kind of a hobby works wonders!! even if you don't have a hobby you can always start one. ANYTHING to keep your hands busy.. if you have no aptitude or knowledge for crafting you can always do something simple from premade kits like latchook rugs or paint by numbers. And kits for these aren't all that expensive either. Plus you get the added bonus of the great feeling you get when you made something

Gratz on your upcoming surgery!!!:thumbup:
