YOU JUST SAVED ME. Maybe you can't help the world, but I'm heading to the trash to dump the rest of my lunch. I'm full from 2.5 chicken strips and 5 fries, but I was reading this stuffing another fry in my mouth. Thank you!

And in my defense, I don't usually have fingers & fries for lunch but I had to spend my lunch at the DMV since they screwed up my license. My real lunch was tuna and carrots. Now I'm off to toss the remains, thanks to this one little thread.

I didn't make it to the trash; my skinny co-worker snatched the fries from me! So you did two good deeds since he's too skinny and forgot his lunch. Now he's got warm fries, so thanks from him, too.

It's good that you are climbin' back on the wagon, but you need to keep in mind that you have lost about 35 lbs in 4 months. That's not bad, you know?

Also, I've read in lots of places that your body can't really take more than 25 to 30 grams of protien at a time, so more than that is kind of a waste. You might do half shakes, or less powder in the milk at one time, you know?

Keep it up!

Krystal, I hear ya! Last night I sat down with a bag of FritoLay corn chips and a big ole glass of Water. I've actually not done this since being banded and haven't a clue why I chose last night to start. So this morning, I'm pulling myself up out of that rut I was in and vowing to be the best bandster I can be, as I know that if I don't address it now, it will become another habit I have to break later.

We're here for you if you need to talk (its hard to eat and type at the same time hehe).

Here is my problem, I am currently addicted to popcorn. Not the Plain Jane kind but movie theater with lots o butter type. What is worse than that is that is usually all I will eat the entire day. Yesterday I had one large and one mini microwave bag at one sitting for dinner last night. Unfortunately, it compresses and goes thru the band too easily. But I have given up my two or three times a day Starbucks habit. Now it is maybe twice a week. But I am not eating right at all. I know that. Help me!

I don't have a problem with pastas, breads, and meats. I don't eat them cause the WILL make me PB. I have tried baked fish. In fact, my freezer is full of them and they make me PB everytime.

Any suggestions will be very much appreciated!!!!

Krystal, good for you for coming here and asking for support and admitting to it all, thats half the battle, none of us are perfect bandsters, heck last night I ate an ice cream drumstick and resses Peanut Butter cups, I need chocolate on the day my period starts which was yesterday (TMI)

Just get back up and get back to basics, you can do this! Come here often, read, post, get the support you need. We are all here pulling for eachother to succeed.

      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.
