i found that carrots helped me to stay full i would make up a pack of carrot sticks and snack on them when i feel hungry

Hi there , yes i agree not going back to old habits is the best thing , im ony 2 days into my band and i have allway said to myself , i will treat the new halthy eating habits as if i was a new born stating out for the first time , well when you think about it its kind of like that , we start on liquid move to mush then go on to the real thing right! So for me i dont want to even entertain the idea of starting bad habits. I know i had a slip up or two on the pre diet and it made it that much harder to get back on track , i just started obsessing over the food thing again , so from now on it stay on the path and do step off it !!

yeah great info , now iv got some idea what im in for cheers

Good for you tracey... I hope everything goes well with you. Follow everything your dr. tells you no matter how you feel! Hunger is a temporary feeling and most importantly it is most times a head feeling. When it comes to putting food in your body from now on, listen to your stomach! And I am feeling much better today... Depression, just like hunger should be temporary... I'm watching it tho' cause I've heard its common. If it continues, I'm the type who doesn't mind sitting infront of a counsellor. No prob about the spelling..lol..l I'm a teacher, I'm used to class clowns. lol Again, All the best!! Keep me posted...

Thanks so much for your info , im going in for it tomorrow , and i have been starving for the last 3 weeks yes diet shakes and rabbit food just not cutting it for me , I keek thinking we when i have it done i will just try a bit of this and that but now looking at your grilled cheese i had better not. Good luck in the days ahead my friend , i will be watching your blogs for helpfull hints ,,,,Tracey
