i haven't alwayz lost weight the healthy way...but i can say this from the day i had my surgery....2 almost 2 years post-op i immediately changed my lifestyle...its not what i ate and how i exercised...it was a whole change of lifestyle i made...i made the choice to eat heathly and exercise...which i continue to do ...to this day...i see a lot of people using the word "diet" on here..."dietz" failed all of us...thats y we r here...i see a lot of people asking "what they should eat"...i won't give u a list of foods...i will suggest u eat healthy though...and i strongly suggest u get use to an exercise routine...that u can stick with for a lifetime...i would personally stop reffering to this surgery as a diet...and reffer to it as a lifetime tool to aid u with the lifestyle changes...u...urself...personally have to make and stick with...again thatz my advice...now lap on...:-)

for awhile...i started to hate my band...after all i went thru...i honestly was considering having it removed...it wasnt the bandz fault...i was looking to place blame...the only one to blame is myself for not seeking help b4 i under went weight loss surgery to resolve my issues and for letting myself get so out of control...now that i'm starting to heal and live life by choices...consequences and well-thought out decisions...not to mention loving and caring about myself...i am grateful to have had this surgery....without it and all these feelings coming to a boil...whos knows where i would be....

      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.
