If I don't chew well and eat to fast I still throw up to this day. My surgery was December 2009 and I have had 4 unrelated surgeries since mostly orthopedic surgery which has slowed the process down for me due to less activity. At first I was very good about writing everything down and weighing and measuring everything then I slacked off I was able to maintain but not lose weight. A friend showed me this site (which has inspired me but also she turned me onto my fitness pal where you can customize your calories and grams of Protein ect. This has helped so much holding me accountable I weigh and measure everything! It aloes you to track fluids exercise as well. It is a great apt and lots of hamsters use it. At first I down loaded it and was busy and overwhelmed but once I started I was addicted! You can also scan barcodes and add your favorites easily. One feature I haven't used yet but plan to is the recipe part where you can add ingredients you use to make something and add #of servings and it will give you the nutrition information and calories per serving. Try it is a great tool! The good thing about the band is if you are having a hard time you still can always pick up where you left off but I was told that bypass patient loose weight rapidly but only have an 18 month window post op to loose. Best of luck to you don't be discouraged you just need to really weight, measure and track food to see what your intake really is and by doing that chewing slowly Mabey putting yyour fork down between bites to slow you down exercise and you'll do just fine.

      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.
