You are not alone, i am having the same issue, I had my lapband on march 3, and I was so concerned that i needed a fill already that I called my DR. They told me that i need to eat 3 meals o hi Protein soft foods, eggs, etc and to cust out any in between meal Snacks or Protein drinks. I was feeling absolutelt famished!!!! and I did not want to fall into old bad habits. I am too weak mentally to give in to my old ways

I just got my surgery on the 28th of feburary so im just over a week out and already discouraged with this. I know its not an over the night fix nor do I want it to be... So here's my dilema and hoping someone has answers... I did the whole liquid thing the first week but I couldn't really tell when I was full and now into the 2nd week liquids aren't cutting it so Ive tried other things( crackers, fish w/ battering, eggs, etc.) Im not getting sick (i know this is a good thing) but im able to eat anything... Is this normal? Why am in not feeling satisfied? I understand each person is different but is there anyone out that has gone threw this as well? I think the real thing discouraging me is my weight is going up and down ill lose but then ill gain back and im just getting really bummed and wondering if Ive done all this hard work for nothing? Please help...

I got my authorization and I am getting banded on March 3, 2011... this has been a long time coming and I am excited and so looking forward to this part of my journey.....
