Had my surgery on may 1 st. I have lost 42 lbs so far. It's a real big challenge. I have been wanting some ice cream and coke so bad but can't do it.

I have the band right now and have been banded 3 yrs come august. I'm looking to convert to either bypass or sleeve due to the band no longer working well for me. You've lost more than I have in nearly 3 yrs..LOL. I may would have lost a little more had I been more compliant with exercise

@ kmiller, stop being so hard on yourself. I am 45 and was told it will be slower weightless with the revision. Our body's metabolism is slower because of our 1st surgery. Try to trick your body change whatever u eat and drink daily. It seems to be working ok for me. I walk for an hour 3 times a week nothing great just whatever I can do, I sit if I need to but it gives me time with myself no music just me and my head.

      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.
