I am a former bandster and I did lose ok I would say my starting weight was 272 or 262 and my lowest weight was 189 with the the band I was sleeved on 3/19/13 and according to my doctor scale not mine i was back up to 218 and once I think I even saw 219 I finally decided after all the complications with the band being hospitalize I had enough So after begging the doctor to sleeve me he finally gave in on the date or wls I was 211 and yesterday i was 194 and today im backup to 195.6 now im feeling discourage will anything work for me when will this weight start moving and acting like its goning to leave and stay gone I know weight goes up and down and I know not to get on the scale everday I only got on because I have a doctors appt today and i didnt want any surprise when i got there but I feel he will feel like I feel its not working again what next gastric bypass really I have had some complications but to me there minor compared to what I will get or should get in the end I hope today he release me to full excerise I have not been able to due to my incision Fluid back up them reopening my incision but again all part of what I have to go through to get my bottom line result hopefully anyone else been here? Then I read yesterday on one forum that depending on the size of your stomach heck I thought U only get one size so did he leave me a large one and I will just be fat all my life ? Now I have to ask him what the heck did he do? I know I need to just keep working my tool which is the sleeve once I get released but I am the kind of person who wants to know what I am up against. So rdight now I am losing faith again I even had so much faith I gave away all my to big clothes I do mean all of them never did that before not even with the band thats how much faith I had in this sleeve now I dont know and wonder should I ask for my clothes back after all some of them clothes was new!

PLEASE HELP

      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.
