Take a look at the 5 day band test. Several people have found it useful. It's on this site or look for it on Google.

The hardest part of maintenance is, well, maintaining, LOL!!! My trainer assures me that a 5 pound swing is fixable and the fact that the gain bothers you is wonderful!!!! In the old days, or I should say pre-band days, 4 would become 20 in no time and now you have the tool to use to beat that 4 pounds back. Best wishes,

Mimi

Corrigan - I had not heard of the 5 day test, but I am starting it tomorrow. Thank you!

Mimi- it is only a few pounds, but it's my lack of motivation thats killing me. Honestly I blame it on some lingering complications frm my TT. But I have to stop using that as a crutch and get my a$$ in gear

Maura, I went through it post op, too. After not exercising for so long it was hard to get back in the groove.....can you get a Personal Trainer for a few weeks to pep you up? Surgery takes its toll and anesthesia stays in the body a long time so you just might have physical reasons for blah time....keep posting and we will keep up the encouragement.

      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.
