Now you've got the idea!! Keep your spirits up, all the stress that worrying brings is not worth it. One small lapse does not mean you are doomed forever.

The first 10 lbs is now gone! Congratulations, you've officially kicked it into gear!

Keep smiling,

The great thing is, I've found that no amount of post-banding eating can compete with one of my pre-band binges. Even if I splurge and have something bad, it all adds up to an okay day. So long as the good days outnumber the bad and you're getting the Protein in, the weight will drop off!

Congratulations on the 10 lbs! :):D:D

Just remember you're still healing, so don't eat anything solid AND when you over eat that puts pressure on your new tummy.

Good luck.

Thanks HarleyNana, You are right, I feel like I can eat and without the restriction I guess I wasn't thinking about what culd be happening that I can't feel. This helps. It's weird, but just like my other addictions, I must be reminded of what I forget I know. Thanks.

      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.
