I eat and eat all day long...I haven't got any control.

I am noticing a lot of Snacks between meals. Now my doctor and the Lap Band information booklets says we need to stick to 2 too 3 meals a day. NO snack or eating between. HOW?

I bought some Kellogg's Protien Water and they have 5 grms of Protein. They are designed to use between meals to curb appetite, since protein curbs appetite naturally. It worked for me pre band on my pre op diet!!!

I have found that a baked potatoe is very satisfying. Yes there are carbs but you are going to eventually eat some, it is better then eating all day. I hate when I do that.

I now eat egg whites (boiled, no yolks) when I'm hungry - after 1-4 it does the trick - also cut them up and put some mustard on them. they are filling and i believe only 17 claories per egg white. Sometimes I'll do a cheese stick but i love cheese and usually want more and they are about 70 calorries.

Kinda Not sure yet.

I got home last night and was able to drink a protien shake and some Water. This morning I had like 6 oz of protien shake (not able to finish it) and I was not able to eat the salad for lunch.

I am also on my period. I usually can't eat anything when I am on it so... I am not sure if it is that or my fill. I think it is a combination of both.

I am going to wait and see how everything goes and if I am not better in a week, I will probably go get a little out.

I am at 2.5cc in a 4cc band.

What do you think?

I was told to do at least 24 hours of liquids after a fill. PMS does a play a role in the tightness so I would wait another day to call my doctor. I don't like to wait until Friday to do things because people go out of town. If you can get your Water in so you don't become dehydrated then you should be ok but if not call him immediately.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
