Okay I am almost 3 years out and have been maintaining for about a year and a half. I never made it to goal, l got to size 10 pants and said, “this is good enough”. So tomorrow I am returning to basics and losing the last 15 or 20 lbs I want to lose. Gonna start with liquids and work my way up just like I did after surgery. Workout 7 days a week, just like before.

I was one of the lucky (blessed) ones who lost all hunger with the Band . . . .except “Head Hunger” . . . which never goes away. So we all know it is easier when you do not have to do something alone? Anyone want to join me?

I did mostly liquids yesterday because I had a fill. Today I upped to my 1400 cals as directed, it was hard to get them in but I managed to space it out just perfect. Went to the gym for 20 min then hubby and I took the kids to the park and rode bikes this evening. Day one down and positive one at that! :) Great job ladies sounds like day one went well you too!

      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.
