So I've recently posted my issues and I just found out today that I have a slippage and need my band out. They said in the future I could have it put back in, but right now, I don't think I want that. The past year and a half with my band has been hell on my physically. So, I'm excited to have it out and to be able to take a bite of food without severe pain and vomiting but I'm also scared. I know that sounds dysfunctional. I'm so used to vomiting food that I'm scared that I'm going to pack on the weight. I keep telling myself I will eat healthy and still workout with my personal trainer, but my body is so used to eating zilch that isn't it certain that I will put on weight once I start to eat normal? I'd hate to see my progress disappear. Was anybody else fearful for this reason?! Thanks

I am going through something very similar and have put on close to 20 pounds. All of my clothes are skin tight and I regret getting rid of all my bigger size clothes. In addition I am suddenly lactose intolerant despite using the enzymes. I wish you the very best of luck, I understand and feel your pain and joy.

      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.
