It has been one week such my actual surgery. I have had a great weight loss so far with my pre and post op diet. Today at 1 week of full liquids, I have to admit I'm a little nervous and wonder at times if I'm glad I did this. I am hoping that it's not buyer remorse and once I can start eating solids I will not have so much fear of the future. Is this normal to feel this way at this point? It feels like I'll never be able to go out to eat or enjoy food again. I know I can't keep on life I was,

I want to get ahold of my life and enjoy being physical again. It takes me 50 pounds for myself and others to really tell I've lost weight. I just need to get to this point. Thanks who ever can help!

i felt the same way and sometimes still do. I was banded on 2/16/11 and now that i feel better i am starting to wonder if ill ever be normal again. its also hard because i wont get a fill for 4 more weeks so being hungry isnt helping either. i just try to think of the big picture and remember what it is i really want to accomplish. we WILL be able to eat normal again. keyword "normal". keep your head up :)

      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.
