Want everyone to know you can restart again if you have a fall. My band was put in 4 years ago and after loosing 80 I put 50 back on slowly. Found new doctor who taught me how this thing works, I am green and loving it. I am as excited as the day I first started. I have list 28 pounds in 28 days. Feel great and new, and not hungry. This site has also kept me motivated, thank you all and we will all be in the green together..

Congratulations on starting over. I am here because I want to start over too! My band was put in 5 years ago. I always had trouble getting the right fill. I would either be too tight or not tight enough. My doctor had a revolving door type office, so I never had true confidence in the band. I have not gone in for a fill in over 3 years. My weight is creeping back on.

Those of you who have switched doctors please tell me how that works. I have been told that most Bariatric Doctors will not accept you if they did not preform the surgery. I'm looking for a doctor in the Houston area. Any suggestions?

      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.
