good job sounds like you have your head in the game as they say..... Keep up the good work !

For me to get over head hunger.... I have to keep my favorit water battle filled and with me at all times.... I drink when ever I feel boared like pre banding Id go grab a bite to eat....now I sip my water... I too keep my trigger foods out of the house....Good Luck !

my list was simple.... Just want to move.....and wear nice clothes....wanted my husband and kids proud to be seen with me....wear boots I had never been able to fit the fat calves in a pair ...cross my legs... This past summer I came down a Water slid with one of my sons !!!! Being 53 yrs old...it was my very first time... it was so much fun !!! Yesterday I played basketball with my boys and then walked home back home a mile walk......lifes good

I am almost a yr banded....I eat what I want...just in proportion.....but a yr ago I craved carbs and ate them 24/7......today i dont even crave them...so I eat what i want...but i want good foods.....The 6month pre diet really helped me in this area....You have to do some of the work to get the band to work !

I to had to do the pre diet for 6 months...and I almost said the heck with this.....so glad i didnt.....it went by fast...it was exciting...and it sure helped get me ready for the banding life...hang it....its so worth it

~siles~ thanks for sharing and wow congrats.....that is alotta weight...

I have the grumblin bellie and the tootin butt.....way to often.....

I tend to get the same pain if I eat to fast....and if im eatting to fast 9 out of 10 times Im taking to big a bite......thats when I have to remember to drink drink drink.. during the day ( not with my meal)..and dont wait till im so hungry to eat !

~claps~ yeaaaa.....them tend to sneek up on us....and we love um !!!

I went almost a yr with out pop corn...mainly because it being salty I knew it would be a trigger food....but I bought a box of them lil 100 cals bags....and I did good.....so now thats one of my lil treats !

Same with me...my lowest day was when I was a coffee hostess and a reg said.....sooooo must be soon now....and I asked him what...? and he said your baby...I had to stand there and laugh..but inside i was bawling...the next day he came in with his girl friend and I knew it was just a more...come see dont she like preg......

I agree with you... Many doctors dont explain this new eatting properly... My NUT did awsome in getting me ready....the doctor talked lots...but I dont believe he explained it 100 % STill best thing I have ever done and if you learn the rules....you will do it !!! Good luck hun....were here for you

glad your are feeling relief....~hugs~

prayers your way....
