i just finished eating my lunch and now i feel huge and gross! what is wrong with me? i ate 1/4 of a chicken strip, maybe 1/4 cup coleslaw and then 1/2 cup mashed potatos. i feel like i ate a ton! this is not my usual lunch and now i just feel icky.

i think i need a fill. i find myself able to eat more and hungrier then in the past. i have one scheduled for june 11, but i think i am going to see if i can move that up. i fear what i will do to my weight loss if i wait that long.

my ability to eat more came on pretty quickly. is that normal for needing a fill? this will be my third fill. the first fill basically didnt do anything. so when i got the second fill it wasnt because i suddenly needed it, i just needed it to reach restriction. does that make sense? what are the symptoms of a slipped band? would it/could it be that? or is there pain associated with it? sorry, just kinda thinking outloud here.

aghhh, i feel stuffed. i havent felt like this for SO LONG! how icky it is.

I can't wait to feel full after eating that little. Think about what you ate before being banded! I should be banded in June. Keep up the good work!

      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.
