Hi,

I had my surgery September 2008. Lost 40 pounds, have now gained 5 back. I feel I have lost everything, I don't know what to do. I just can't seem to get back on track. I live in NJ and am really looking for someone whom I can get support from, while i support them. And if you are in my area, even more better. I feel like a failure and want to succeed!

Thanks

Hi. I'm from NJ. Although I have not been banded as long as you, would love to give you some support. I was banded on Oct. 23, 2009 and I've lost 54lbs since sugery, 64lbs all together.

Feel free to email me, add me as a friend or even write here. My email is cc-dmtermini@comcast.net

You are not a failure by the way. You just got a little off track.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
