That's great news!! I still struggle with getting enough in but I'm doing well, weight has slowed right down for a little but but I'm sure that'll pass, are you still on the Optifast? I just struggle big time with the shakes, before surgery I didn't mind them now they make me want to be sick :P

Wow that's awesome, well done. Unfortunately mine started well, lost 42kgs and then piled. It all back on, I have no resistance at all. I'm booked in to have an Omega loop bypass next month, hopefully I can achieve my goals then. Glad to hear you have done so well

Oh no sorry to hear that, I have major resistance my stomach doesn't like sweets or junk much at all nowadays I get I'll when I eat to much. I do still haven't got the strong hunger hormone so I do have weeks where I have to watch what I eat so I don't actually loose anymore. In saying all this though I do tire very easily and have suffered with gallstones and acute pancreatitis during my time. Really hope the loop bypass does the trick for you.

Hello, hello, It's already 2021 end of February. How are you ?

At the beginning of last November, in 2020: I had seen Dr. Kevin Dolan twice and he was insistent I needed my lap band removed.

He had gotten on the telephone to my wonderful Gp several times and had discussed with her the difficulties I was having which were:

vomiting,

pain

wasn't able to eat sometimes for about two weeks.

BUT my private insurance had lapsed. I immediately rang and had it put back on.

Dr. Dolan said that my lap band had slipped but boy, I didn't realize how ill I actually was. I went to the hospital emergency twice, the first time with my Mum and emergency Doctors told me to go home and the second time, they admitted me........after my boyfriend was screaming that no one seemed to be hearing my problems,

All of a sudden, everything changed and a wonderful surgeon came to see me that I was to be operated on within 2 hours. My Mum and son went to get something to eat and came back to an empty bed. The surgeon was WONDERFUL: Dr. Foo was his name. He said that I was that far away from developing a huge hole in my tummy from an eroding lap band.

Fortunately, he had removed all erosion from my tummy.

PROBLEMS: from 2 November to 20th Feb 2021

Gained 10 kilos !!!! How has this happened ???

My Psychotherapist and I are definitely discussing me getting a sleeve.

Dr. Dolan offered to give me a gastric sleeve. I have scars all through my Tummy, I can see Dr. Foo or Dr. Dolan, does anyone have any comments ??

Thanks for reading: Annie

      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.
