CAPS FOR SPEED, PUNCTUATION FOR YELLING....

MY FIRST SURGERY WAS A LAP-BAND, IN 2012, BY A DOC WITH A "WHO GIVES A SHIT" SMILE, AND A TON OF DOUBLE TALK ABOUT MY POST-OP INFECTION, AND DISTENTION - WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A HERNIA, YET TO BE REPAIRED - MY FILL PORT FLIPPED, TWICE - THERE'S NOTHING MORE SOBERING, THAN WATCHING YOUR DOCTOR STICK THAT NEEDLE INTO YOUR ABDOMEN, AND IT BENDS - I WENT FROM 426LBS, TO 350LBS, TO 396LBS - FROM DAY-1, I HAD NO INTAKE RESTRICTION.....

2014, I HAD MY CONSULT FOR BAND REMOVAL, AND THE GASTRIC SLEEVE REVISION; I GOT DOWN TO 350LBS, USING A NUTRIBULLET, AND WALKING - 02/2015, AT 324LBS, I HAD MY SURGERY, GOT DOWN TO 288LBS, AND PLATEAUED - KNEE AND BACK ISSUES HAMPERED EXERCISE, AND "JUSTIFYING" POOR INTAKE CHOICES HAS ME CURRENTLY AT 290LBS....

I'M PAST BEATING MYSELF UP, AND HAVE EMBARKED ON A PATH OF EXERCISE AND PROPER EATING..... STAY TUNED!!!!

I also had surgery at 324! Mine was 11/18/15 and I'm down 57.5 lbs. I still have another 100 to go. Please don't give up! Start over with your basic rules. You can do this!

      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.
