I was banded 1-25-11. lost 13 pre op and 4 weeks post op i have only lost 5 lbs. So I totaly know how you feel. I am hungey all the time. I do get all my protien in and still hungery. I got my first fill of 4 cc last week and it help a bit but i dont feel im in the green or sweet spot yet. I have wondered if i made the wrong choice and i should have went with the by pass. I guess time will tell. I'll pray for you to feel full as i do for myself. Good luck and it's nice to know some one can relate. Good luck!

Hello all, I just joined yesterday and I'm so very excited to get some positive support and encuragement from the site. The liquid diet isn't as bad as I thought it would be:) There is only a few hours a day were I struggle mainly at lunch time. I have already lost 8 lbs in 6 days. WOW is all I can say.

Congrats from one wine drinker to anther.

were you told to take Calcium citrate? I cant find it anywhere.

It's really not that bad. Im not a milk drinker and If I can do it anyone can. I think it may be easyer than having limited choices of food. This way there is no bad choices.

How is the optifast working for you? I was told to use better MD. It's not bad.

I was supposed to be banned on Jan 26th but my pre-op tests showed some gallstones and they are going to remove my gallbladder first. I should get banned 2 to 3 weeks after that surgery. Congrats on everything and good luck. I hope all goes well and i know you be on your way soon keep your head up

Food will be around us for the rest of our lives. We just have to learn to live with it and make smart choices.

Just think about all the weight pre surgery you will lose:) thats the goal right.
