Hi youall, it has been awhile since i have been on , don't really now why i backed off other than things have not gone quite the way i had hoped it would. It was 1 year on the 12 that i had my band with the plication and i have manage to lose 55lbs but most of that came off before the surgery. After my band things where really slow maybe 1-2 lbs a month, for the first few months. i only have 2cc in my band but i dont feel like thats my problem. I feel like i have good resteriction because there are a lot of things i absolutly can not eat and one of them is bread. There are days that even Water hurts to drink if i try and drink to fast. My Dr and i have been over my eating habits and everything is ok there. sometimes i might have a week moment and have one to many hurshey kisses. In the last few months i have caught myself falling back into some of my old bad habits like snaking in the evening in front of the TV. or just eating because it sounds good, not because i am hungery. So i am back on track again watching my calory intake and i am going to get to my goal. Thanks for letting me vent.

I totally understand how you feel. I had a awful 3 mos. I am not sure if its cause i felt i was doing so good so i could just not pay attention. I think its cause alot of awful things happened in my life the month of Feb and losing weight was the least of my worries. But i went to the dr last week and got my talking to. He also put only 0.3 in my band. But weither it was the talk or the tiny bit of fill It has seemed to work. I have lost almost 5 lbs since last tue. I can now once more feel myself losing weight. Dont give up!!!!

      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.
