I find the hardest time is in the evening. I like the flavors for my Water and diet hot chocolate. They give me a little something to look forward to. It doesn't necessarily get easier so you'll need to create a plan that works for you. In the beginning I visited this site really often and got a lot of motivation from here. I also spent a lot of time on youtube educating myself on how this band is going to work for me.May I suggest to you on youtube, 8 golden rules of lapband, introduction 1 - 4.

I try to remember that food does not cure stress or fatigue. So I try to create a timeline strategy for when Hagen-Daaz calls my name. First acknowledge, this stress/fatigue will pass faster than the quart I want to down, next I drink a full glass of Water and plan my next down time as "pamper me " time. Which can be listening to relaxing feel good music, a bubble bath, an old movie or mani-pedi. Next plan my special treat to go with my pamper me time. Usually I'll make a Protein Drink into a super yummy Frappe and sometimes when I'm feeling self indulgent, I will put a nip of rum into my shake. Aahhhhhh. My mini slice of heaven and very little side effects. Bye bye Hagen-Daaz!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
