Hello everyone! Been gone for awhile. Had a real bad episode of being too tight, and the doctor practically took out almost all of the liquid I had in my band. Since then, I can't stop eating large portions no matter how hard I've tried. As a result, I've gained back between 5-7 pounds. I tried making an appointment for a fill for December 9th, but they couldn't schedule me in. So, I've waited patiently for a month, but it's been really bad. With the holidays and all, I've made some really bad food choices (cake, chips, and candy). Now, I am determined to start all over again! I am scheduled for a fill on January 6th. I am going to the gym every day if I have to, and I'm going to gain the support of my family and coworkers to keep away from tempting foods. I am so glad for this forum and the people in it. You all make our goals possible, and our struggles with weight loss bareable. Thank you ALL, and I wish you the best this New Year! May we all reach our goals, and fulfill our dreams of living a successful and healthy life. I am so ready for January's challenge. Meet you on the skinny side. Hugs and kisses to all.

Hi Heccat, glad you're back! I have had to get some things out of the house to reduce temptation while I'm still in the process of first fills to get to green zone. Look forward to having the appetite monster off my back! So glad you have your appointment. Mine is next Monday so this week my focus is exercise and Protein, Ra Ra Ra! And loving/forgiving myself, not depriving but making good choices. Here's to the new year.

      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.
