So, I have joined onederland. Pre-op I was 217 lbs. I will be 3 weeks post-op on Friday and I weighed in at 198.1 lbs today! I'm happy to be back in onederland, but I feel so apprehensive! My weight has yo-yo'ed soooo bad the last ten years! When I was 19 (I'm 28 now), I was up to 237 lbs, by the time I was 20 I had gotten down to 155lbs (due to stress I couldn't eat, so I lost weight inadvertently). A few years later and I had worked my way back up to 221lbs, which is when I got my lap-band. After my lap-band I got back down to 179 lbs & then I got pregnant 4 months after and ended up at 235lbs at the end of my pregnancy. After having my first baby I started to get back down in weight. I got down to 195 lbs and then I decided to have another baby, which led me to the 217 lbs I was at on my surgery day! I just want to maintain a healthy weight and I don't know what I'm going to do if my sleeve fails. I almost feel like I'm just destined to be fat! I have been doing wonderful on my post-op diet, but I still can't wait to eat normal food! I'm just praying this restriction will be what helps me maintain a healthier lifestyle! I NEVER want to be over 200 lbs again!

      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.
