Hello

Truly I have struggled for months and have experienced such bad eating habits. I made up my mind a month ago and went back to my original book and start eating right and joined a gym and now back on track again. I had a fill 2 1/2 weeks ago and finally started losing weight. I was banded 10 months ago and presently lose 38 pounds, but for the first time in 10 months I can truly say I have restrictions and eating right and took of eight pounds in 2 1/2 weeks. Truly I understand what you are saying it's a meal by meal and day by day process.

I am so happy for you for not looking back but looking forward to the new you. We can do it just one day at a time. SisC

I think everyone has a bad day or a bad week or even a bad month. That is the good thing about the band it is always there whether you have will power or not. The holidays were hard for me because of course all the bad stuff goes down with no problem but that piece of chicken gets stuck but not that herseys kiss. I wish I was allergic to chocolate it would make my life so much easier

I'M WITH YOU. Got banded 2 years ago and lost only about 5 kg in total, which I have been told is approx 11pounds. Started off correctly but was dieting and hungry. I became disheartened by it all and lost confidence stopped exercising. Had a refill 3 weeks ago now have restriction which I dont think I have ever had before so band must have been too loose. I am now starting over again and have lost 2 Kg in 3 weeks. So I am definitely willing to give it a go again. I am treating it now as if I have just been banded.

Thanks for the thread :confused:

I am on the "band" wagon again with you girls! I was banded January 06, got pregnant and she is now 20 months old, not very pro-active about fills! Got one on Monday, trying to retrain my brain to think like a bandster! I am also trying to act as if I am just banded! Trying to stick to 1200/cals a day and if that does not work, I will to to 1000. TRYING to exercise, doing elliptical as much as I can on days I can. I need to get a hold of this eating process and then really figure out the exercising! I am finding great people on this site, I am hoping this helps!

I think everyone has bad days and good days.. after all, we had to make a decision to do this to help us get healthy. Just remember we are strong, we can do this, and keep each others in our prayers. The foods we eat (usually the bad ones) are a comfort food and we have to have our minds right also. WE CAN DO IT!!

      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.
