I'm in the home stretch...I get my band Tues. April 1. I have been on 3 protein shakes and one meal (consisting of 4 oz chicken breast and 1/2 green veggies) a day for almost two weeks. This head hunger is killing me! I feel like putting a slice of cheese on my hand and pretending it's a cheeseburger! HELP! Is this normal? I thought once I made it through the first few days of liquid I would be fine but this head hunger is putting up quite a fight!

:teeth_smile: You're cracking me up. Great job on sticking with it -- I bet the weight is coming off great! All the less to lose later, my dear. :rolleyes2:

I assume you are using the usual techniques to avoid breaking down and stuffing a burger and fries down the hatch, right? Keeping away from bad food choices, relaxation exercises, reminding yourself why you want to lose weight, distracting yourself with other activities, drinking lots of non-caloric liquids (hot tea or coffee works great for me when I'm craving sweets, for some reason), reminding yourself that hunger is not an emergency...

Best wishes on your surgery!!

Hang in there. You are almost there.
