My band is driving me nuts at the moment. I do have an added complication of MS which is making my muscles sluggish, brief outline.

had band and built up to a fill of 5.5ml in a 11ml band. Ok then couldnt keep food down, repeat this process until I am now at 2ml in my band (nothing really) since March. All was good until this last 2-3 weeks when my band will allow me to eat in the day but come evening it wont stay down. I have tried being really careful with my diet and at the moment it consists of

1st thing a Malted drink to start the day

10am rice pudding pot size of yoghurt

12am a bowl of smooth Soup

Mid afternoon a small snack

Evening mash, veg and gravy (no meat at the mo)

All day fine then dinner comes up. Been careful not to eat to much too. I do have the odd day that I can eat fine too even in the evening. I cant help but think that its down to my muscles and MS not having the strength to push food through and my MS is playing up at the moment.

I am gonna see my doc but anyone else get this. I cant think that it is slippage because I can eat pretty well during the day with not problems at all. I have lost weight again too,now at lowest I have been (good but not how I would like to). any comments or suggestions welcome. I am over soup:redface:

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
