@Bandista---I have NO desire for pizza, or any food for that matter! ^_^

Actually, I take that back. The one thing I have "craved" or that sounded at least a little bit good was sushi. I can eat 2 little pieces and I'm good.

Weighed in at 274 this morn. 8 pounds in two weeks.

Awesome job!

Just came across your post. I was also banded in 2008 and had it removed in 2013 because of complications. It had moved and was causing everything I ate to get stuck. I had lost 85 pounds from 2008-2010 and then in 2011 slowly started gaining unexplained weight back. (ended up gaining about 75 back)

I have some auto-immune stuff going on as well, so probably due to meds from that we think.

Anyway--I had gastric bypass 4 months ago and have lost 67 pounds. I'm very happy with the progress, although it was a lot bigger surgery/recovery than I expected.

Good luck to you! You're off to an awesome start!!

      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.
