I think you got a lot of good advice, and maybe a little harsh criticism(although probably true). I think you're probably beating yourself up over this enough that you don't need more of that....BUT it is important to figure out why this happened so that it doesn't happen again. Plan your meals, have "safe" food or Snacks with you so that if you find yourself suddenly hungry you have something that is okay to eat, avoid all drive thru windows at all costs...not even for a drink, we all know where that leads. But more than anything, let this go. You are a success and you can do this, you've got all of us on your side.

Hi everyone... I appreciate the support. I am back on track. I am unsure what made me push the issue, but what's done is done.

Thanks again. I have learned a lot from this site. Good luck to everyone.

I'm totally with Alex. Long after your outside stitches looked healed, you are still healing INSIDE.

Are you really ready for this life-changing tool? "Testing" for what? How much you can eat? You don't "want to go HOG WILD until after you've had a fill????????" This tells me you weren't really ready...:wub:

I agree with u and Alex. You could have gotten Apple dippers and just ate the apples, u could have gotten 3pks. they are only $1.00 You should have the shakes in the can ready to go. They are pre-made. I am with the tough love. If I make a mistake and I post it I want you all to rip my azz into shreads.... because that is the only way I will figure it out.. hey others are saying the same thing.. so i gotta do what i gotta do. You know when u pulled up and went thru the drive thru u prob. said I shouldn't even be here. Follow your first mind because the 2nd one is always the ohhhh it's ok.. and IT'S NOT... You waited all of this time to get banded, went thru the pain. Baby keep it movin... The hell with McDonalds, and other fast food joints because they are all there to keep us overweight, lazy and broke..... U slipped now get up dust yourself off and get back on track....

I used to tell my children that being hungry is NOT an emergency. It's true, it's not. You are worth taking the time to do it right. Plan ahead. Keep on truckin'.

      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.
