Doing something about your weight is better than doing nothing. With the band I'm not getting bigger!

I had to do it again. And it was no picinic the second time at all! But if I had to do it 3 more times I'd do it in a heart beat!

And I was terrified both times.

Even with my recent complications with my leak I would do it again in a heartbeat! 47 pounds that I will never see again!

I too would have it again. I had very few complications- just the inital pain was more than I bargained for. However, I would not have done it earlier. I think for me, this was the right time. I needed to try other things, know that I was ready for this and be committed to it for the long haul. I just don't think I would have been as succesful 5 years ago. So... maybe balance that in your decision.

I wish you the best of luck- all the tough decisions are just that TOUGH!!

      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.
