I go to my all day seminar tomorrow and it says specifically that we are not to bring food. I am a little confused that they are going to put us in a room for 6 hours and we can't eat. What about lunuch? No lunch is scheduled. Is there going to be a mass of cranky overweight people pushing eachother out of the way in the parking lot when this is all over? Has anyone else had this situation?

I can't imagine why your seminar would even last 6 hours. I have been to 3 and the longest was 2 hours, which allowed plenty of time for questions and answers. Six hours just seems like an awfully long time to me. :lol:

I can not imagine! I went to the behavior modification class from 8 to 4 here but they catered in low fat low carb high Protein lunch of cheese enchiladas and salad plus a dessert. We also had breaks where they provided teas, Water, Protein Bars, and Protein Shakes. I don't think anyone was hungry. I honestly think that is horrible there is no lunch. Surely there is at some point.

Maybe it's a psychological test to see how many secretly tuck a candy bar in their purses . . . :-)

That's odd. My seminar was 2 hours, plenty of time for everything. Never heard of an all day one.

I am hoping for a class like yours! :lol:

They must plan to have Snacks or something on hand. You can't have anyone, thin or fat, in a room sitting for 6 hrs without breaks that include food. Everyone would have a headache and diabetics would be passed out on the floor.

Pack a couple Protein bars in your purse just in case.

Or call and ask?

I believe they will likely have something there for everyone to eat. It might be band or RNY friendly foods, so you can get a feel of what it's like afterward. I seriously doubt they will leave you all starving for six hours.

Like Molly said, maybe you can call and ask.

...and yes, six hours is a very loooooong seminar! Drink some coffee before going in! LOL!!

      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.
