I was just going to tell my SO and my attendent because I knew they would be very supportive. I then decided to tell a few others including my son and DIL which was a mistake since I did not add the caveat that they were not to tell my 8 yr old granddaughter. Just feel that is too young to tell about major surgery.

I was banded 4/8 have been using both the chocolate and vanilla EAS Sams has it very reasonable. I add 2 scoops to different recipes for protein shakes that are on line. One of my favorites is Chocolate, strawberry yogurt, and banana.. tastes like a banana split that has melted. Also adding different SF coffee flavorings I use DiVinci adds a different flavor. My dr and nutritionist just said experiment with flavors and fruits or other things that you like. Squash with pumpkin pie spice and sugar twin brown sugar is good to.

I was banded on 4/8/10 and find that evenings are hardest for me as well. My doc says 3 meals a day only, no snacking the only thing that helps at all is I make Protein shakes everymorning and then freeze the rest as pops so no added calories and get the extra needed protein. Go in for first fill 5/10. like the others have said tho don't beat up on yourself this is a one day at a time journey. <a href="Weight Loss - Diet Ticker"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/woPx0Wr/weight.png"></a>

I was banded on 4-8 and the hunger has just started coming back. I never used to get hungry till evening and that is still the case. My Dr. only allows 3 meals a day which is fine except for the fact that I have to force myself to eat before about 6 pm which is when I actually feel like eating. :biggrin:
