awesome! so glad you got thru it and now you're on your way to a better life. This time has also given me a lot of time to reflect and focus on other things in my life. I never realized how much food consumed my every waking moment until I couldn't just eat whatever - whenever. It's a major reality check. I've found I've gotten a lot more done in the time between getting banded and now. Things that I would just let go because all I wanted to do was sit down and eat.

I can't say that the 21 days went fast....because it hasn't and I still have 6 days to go. What I can say is that it's surprisingly doable. And this coming from the person that couldn't stay on the pre-op diet until it was the absolute last minute. I have no will power when it comes to food but having the band, knowing we went through this to help ourselves - certainly helps the process.

I'm finding week 3 to be a little more difficult for me, may be that I quit drinking as much water as I was the first two weeks. But I do feel hungrier now and I really have to buckle down.

Keep us posted on your progress!

Thanks for the thoughts...I know what you mean..here I am alone and feeling the pain..but I am actually getting stuff done rather then eating..don't feel like it anyway..if only the growling stomach would stop..so the third week huh...gotta start thinking of a planned week for that one.

OMG its only been 2 days since I was banned and the stomach growling is not so nice ....I'm not hungry but I can definitely feel the emptiness.
