Very simple advice... Follow the rules!!

I do exactly what my surgeon and nutrition told me to do.

1 cup of food or 3oz Protein and 2oz veggies

2-3 times a day.. 1 Protein Shake on gym days.. And plenty of water!!

It is very hard in the beginning. Yes it does feel like the end of the world.. It does get discouraging.. But it does pay off!!

Your band is only going to work if you enable it to!

I had 2 fills.. And I'm at. 5ccs...

Exercise... I've been doing things like Zumba, playing soccer, and running after my 2 year old son all day. Lol

I'm staying away from weightlifting for now because I bulk up really fast so I try to do some cardio at least 2-3 times a week

Just under 6 weeks and I have lost 45 pounds since Pre-op diet. I have not really felt hunger or had a problem so far. Very grateful. I exercise 20-30 Min cardio every morning and then add weights at least 2x per week. Thanks for your sharing.

      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.
