I went thru this as well. My dr. said I wasn't eating the right food for dinner if I was still hungry. I know that when I eat salmon or tuna for dinner I am so full I feel like I could bust. I have had 4 fills, the last one was in Sept. If I do get the urge to have a snack I have a cheese stick or yogurt. Good luck with that battle! I had fallen back into the snack habit bad. I am trying to avoid it as much as possible! It is a Daily battle for me.

I love milk! I drink a glass of milk (always skim) a couple times a week. When I eat cereal I put milk in it but drain off the milk with every bite I take. I love cereal but I get hungry soon after because it goes thru the band quickly. If you keep it in moderation my dr. says its ok. Check with yours just to make sure.

this happened to me and my dr said to make sure I get in a protein shake in the am. Then make sure I get the rest of my protein in before bedtime. The last month or so I have been able to eat breakfast and I love it!! I have not had a fill since last Sept. Hopefully you will start to open up soon and will be able to eat breakfast! Good Luck!

What put me over the edge was when we had taken the kids to an amusement park! I went with the older boys on a ride and the ride worker had to come put all of his body weight on a bar to get the bar latched! How frickin' embarrassing! After that happened, it took me a year of trying to lose weight with my doctor and still not seeing any results. I did not want to be in my 50's and have a bunch of health problems! I want to live my life to the fullest--healthy! This was the best thing I have ever done for myself!!

I bought a bunch of them as well and I could not get them down! We ended up dumping them out. Big waste of money!

My favorite way to drink a protein shake is to put a spoonful of pb and ice then blend! I use EAS chocolate fudge from walmart. I crave these shakes, plus it helps that I love ice cream and this kind of replaces that for me. I am an ice cream addict. I did good not having a snack but now I have 2 sometimes 3 a day. Mostly healthy but not always. Maybe when winter is over and we are not cooped up so much it will be better for me.

Wednesday~ 1/2 c oatmeal and peanut butter 1/3c tuna salad with melba crackers 7 spoonful of lemon lush 1/2c tex mex stew,1/2pc ww bread with butter 1/2 of a bacon,egg,cheese pocket

I am one of those who are to tight in the A.m. I drink them when I can't get my oatmeal down. I also drink them after I work out as well. The weird thing is that I crave these shakes. I never thought I would enjoy them that much! My dr. is aware and says that if I can eat-go ahead and eat.

I accept!! We are in this together! I know I need a swift kick in the a** sometimes. Just about everyday I log my food in the food thread "share ideas- what did you eat today?" I have recently joined curves and I work out 4-5 times a week. I also walk 2-3 times a week on top of that. I never exercised the first several months after my surgery. Then I realized that I had to. I also think I have hit a plateau now. I lost 2# in December and have lost nothing for January!! I was thinking that I'm not getting enough calories now that I am working out consistently! By the way...what is your name?

Hello~ I am a 34yrs old~Mother of 3 boys 13.11.5. Wife of 14 years. I was banded March 24, 08 I needed to lose about 110#. I have lost around 70#. I get weighed and measured next week.

I still get mine from Lane Bryant--they just hold them up better now that I have lost 70#.
