I'm not mad...... i was just trying to figure out what I was doing wrong this past week and I guess I answered my own question.

I eat alot of veggies.... I don't really eat much of potatoes anymore.... if I do it is very little. Yesterday was just a potato day for me....

I think i'm just going to get the cold cuts and try that with cheese.... i'm burnt out on eggs but I guess I should try that also...maybe do oatmeal for breakfast.....

I stay so busy it's hard for me to get all that together each day and do it everyday.... but, I gotta make time.

I saw this link in a post yesterday that I think does a great job of not only giving advice on what to do after you first get the band, but also gives sample menus during each of the stages after the band.

Maybe it might help you. The info starts on pg 83.

P.S. I'm not banded yet, waiting for my consult next week, but I read these boards for encouragement and advice.

I wish you luck with your weight loss journey!

I'm not mad either! Many of us have told you what works for us and you just seem to have an excuse for not doing any of it.

I want to help people who really want help that's all.

that is a really good menu. Anyone have any others?

I noticed on that menu the foods to avoid... nuts is one (which someone told me nuts were good).....

I'm going to start cracking down on my food.

Thanks everyone

      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.
