What's your hardest habit to break?



Recommended Posts

After Water aerobics, I get home around 7:30 and start dinner. I'm literally RAVENOUS. I can't seem to stay away from the chips while I'm waiting on dinner to cook. It's just horrible. I'm good as gold on all the other bandster rules except this one. Eating at 8:30 is just to late, but I don't know what else to do.

My hardest habit to break is drinking while I eat. I have yet to have a meal where I am not drinking. I am working on this one, but it is turning out to be more of a process than an instantaneous success.

So what about you all?

Wasn't able to break that habit. But luckily, the band still worked for me.

One year out and I still haven't broken any habits. I won't claim that til a year or so from now.

VegasGrace -

Did you have any restriction after your first fill, or did the restriction come after your second fill? I have had the band for almost 3 weeks now, have already had one fill and still no restriction. Am hoping for some restriction soon!!

No, I didn't.

I got 2cc @ 6 weeks

then .5 or .7 (don't remember) more 4 weeks later at 10 weeks

9.75/ 4cc band

That's when I got restriction. And that lasted all the way to goal.

The Hardest Habit For Me To Break Is chocolate. Its Just So Hard To Give Up Somthing That You Love And Basically Goes Down Pretty Easily...even Since The Band! If It Weren't For The Chocolate, Im Sure I Would Be Much Closer To Goal, If Not At Goal Already....what Can A Girl Do?

      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.
