Ok I am in the middle of a painful divorce at 26 years old! Anyway, I have turned to food as my friend again. After a big gain, I am back on the wagon. I am pretending I just got my band and am following all the "rules" and walking/running for 45 min a day and 12 situps and pushups. This will only be day 3 of the exercise but I have to start somewhere right?? Wish me luck....I need skinny vibes sent my way!!!

Sorry for your divorce...but I would think better at age 26 than after 26 years! :wink:

Hang in there; get another fill if you need to tweak it, and don't let this defeat you. good luck!

DIvorce is never, ever easy ... even if you find yourself at a place where it is the only choice open to you. It is complete upheaval in your daily life! You may be moved into a new place to live, you're living alone for the first time in a while, you don't have to think about anybody's needs but your own and you've given in to fast food, watching TV so that you don't have to think......every one of us who's been through a divorce knows where you are right now.

But you're back on track, working WITH your band instead of against it. It's okay to go where you've been mentally recently. It really is. Don't beat yourself up. It's a mourning process. But now it's time to move on.

Good luck

Healthy Vibes being sent your way - and tons of hugs - it will get better - maybe not today or tomorrow - but it will..

Keep up the good eating/exercise habits - it will help you feel in control of at least that much in your life...

I'm sorry things are rough right now. At least you are focusing on something productive and using your energy to get back on the band wagon. Like it was said before you have a whole family here, and we are here to support you! Good luck and keep your head up!

      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.
