Yes I saw it on the website that you could be resleeved but I'm trying to talk to people who've had it done?

You think that's what it is? Have you tried low carb plans? I know if you did a lifestyle program like Atkins or South Beach you would get a great jump start. That was always my go to plan after I was banded. I just had a hard time with a lot of the veggies. But you don't have that problem. I'm looking forward to being able to eat and just get full, not stuck.

I have the band and get stuck a lot. Its very annoying. My restrictions is not too much but certain foods I just can't eat no matter how much I chew etc or how slow I eat. What comes to mind especially are scrambled eggs..I am going for a consult on October 1st for the sleeve. My cousin just had it 2 months ago and she loves 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.
