I totally understand! I Gould have been banded sept 27 but because my ins changed their policy 5 days before my supposed last weigh in I was denied and just today completed my second "last" weigh in! I know how you feel it is so frustrating!

Hang in there!! It can be really frustrating in the beginning, and dealing with insurance is never fun, but it will be worth it!

Right now I wouldn't worry about gaining anything back. I had to do 2 weeks of liquid diet before my surgery and I didn't lose hardly anything - and a few days before surgery I was eating things I wasn't supposed to because of emotional eating.

It's been 5 years since I had my band and things are great. And good for you for ranting! It's best to just get it out. We are all here to listen! ;)

Gaining weight sucks, this is true, but I didn't bother to diet at all before my surgery and started fresh and new for my two week pre-op diet. Be patient. My process took 11 months and it felt like forever but well worth it!!

      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.
