Ok so let me get this straight..... You felt like a 'cheat' for losing weight with the lapband? Thanks! You just made our struggle much worse! As if we don't have a hard enough time fending off the uneducated opinions as it. Just throw some fuel on the fire.

Maybe you were throwing up so much because you weren't eating properly. You stated over and over how you cheat so often. Did you follow the eating plan? I bet it's much easier following Atkins- especially when you get paid to do it.

Anyways just wanted to thank you for spouting off and making it harder for people that NEED the surgery to deal with the opinions of others.....

Why should she shut up? She is being honest. I sometimes felt that way too and still needed a better tool that forced my hand on the food/pleasure connection. I like that she is honest about the journey. She still has a lot of head work to do. To some having surgical intervention does feel like a cheat, that if only you had more willpower, if only you had better discipline, yada, yada. We all go through thoughts like that, if we are honest. I respect her. I had a lapband 11 years ago, lost 53lbs, kept most of it off (had yo-yo relapses of about 20 lbs), and decided I needed a more forceful hand to complete the journey. So I was revised to a sleeve 11 days ago and am going through those awful "what did I do, will things ever get back to normal" days. I know these days will pass and I am looking forward to it helping me finally disconnecting food from providing all my pleasure. I know I will always be struggling with that, as Sharon Osbourne surely does. But I, for one, am glad she tells it like it really is. Even if she is working for Atkins now.

      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.
