Since July 22, 2010 I have only had two fills due to their schedule not working with my schedule,,,therefore,,, I haven't had a fill since October and I've lost all motivation to get back into the routine again... My diet is wayyy off of what it should be and I've gained about 20lbs back out of the 50lbs that I had lost...any suggestions? I am going to get a fill next Monday and I'm hoping that it will help me get back in the right state of mind....has anyone else gone through this?

I don't have any experience to lend, but I'm glad you're finally getting a fill. Maybe you can tell yourself to see this fill as starting over- like, pretend you've just had surgery and this fill marks the beginning of a big change back to the "right" way of eating. I hope it works wonders for you!

While I have not experienced this my cousin has & I know she to is struggling with wt gain :( I think u almost have to give urself a lil mental "check" and tell urself u r going to recommit & that it is worth it! Don't beat urself up to bad about the weight gain. Remember that u have kept 30 lbs off! Way to go! R u still tracking ur food? If not start. R u exercisin? If not start. I hope the fill helps u...

I was banded July 14, 2010 and fortunately have not had this problem. Have you tried scheduling your appointment so that it is an extended lunch from work. I have to drive about 30 mins to my appt from work and if I can't get in at the end of the day I will schedule early and just use it as my lunch break and return to work.

Your fill this time will prayerfully be what you need to get the weight loss rolling again! I will be cheering for you! :)

      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.
