Hi -

I was banded on July 11th. I lost about 15 lbs pre op and then lost about another 5 post op. I have not lost anything in about a week now. Actually went up 2 lbs when I weighed this morning. However, after reading several post on here and other websites that seems to be normal. I go see my doctor on Friday but I am afraid that he is going to be disappointed in me. I would like to eliminate some of the carbs in my diet but it is kind of difficult with the dietary restrictions right now.

Same here! Got banded July 18th and lost 5lbs in the first couple of days...was so excited! But for the past 2 days, ever since I started the "slider" phase with yogurt, Soup, oatmeal, etc...I have not lost a single ounce. I'm going for my first post-op appointment tomorrow...will let you know what's up.

Hi Silly weasel' date='

How did it go at the doctor??[/quote']

It went good! He said my incisions look perfect and to keep doing what I'm doing. I told him about my concerns but he said it was too early for a fill. I have 1 month post-op appt 22 August, so maybe I can get a fill then if the pounds don't start coming off.

      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.
