Saw my surgeon today. Dr Reza Adib from Weight Loss Solutions at Varsity Lakes on the Good Coast Queensland.

Yesterday I saw he Psychologist and Nutritionist. Both interviews were an hour each. It was quite intensive. I don't have a huge amount to lose but give me another few months and I will have plenty to lose.

You see I crrently have a Gastric Band and it was my best friend for six years until the dreaded. menopause hit me. After being at my ideal weight for many years suddenly I could not stop eating sweet foods especially chocolate. Bippity Bobbity Boom I had put on 15 kg. !!!!

On Thesday 23 Dec 14 I will be having my Band Removed and on 23,March 15 I will be getting my Sleeve as the body needs 3 months to recover from the removal of the Band. I am super excited and glad to be a member of this amazing forum.

Welcome @petaloshea. This is truly an amazing forum. I have learned so much from all of the people who contribute here, and I have found that most here are very kind. I really appreciate that.

I look forward to hearing about your progress. I understand that band to sleeve revisions present challenges.

      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.
