OK, I am almost 2 years post op and I have only lost about 35 lbs. Now this is good BUT I still need to loose about 40-50 more. I have recently been told that my espohagus has stretched and so I got a little Fluid removed. I go back in 3 months to see if it has gotten any better or not. I have learned how to snack again and am not making the good choices that I once did. Does anyone have advice to help me get back on track?? I have even thought of going back to Weight Watchers again and I really do not want to. As many of you I have been there too many times!

You don't mention is your doing any kind of excersise. If your not, I highly reccomend you start. It works wonders for weight loss and has lots of other benefits. Start out slow and gradually increase your intensity/duration. I also found cutting carbs helps a lot. The less flour/sugar you have, the less you crave. The South Beach diet is a good one- it calls for the healthy carbs (whole grains, fruit, dairy) and healthy fats (unsaturated such as olive oil and avacado). Good luck!

Try the 5 day pouch test. It's on the web.

      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.
