With my 1st band I lost about 100 pounds then I got pregnant. After I had my daughter in 2012 my band slipped . I was diagnosis with rheumatoid Arthritis and had the band replaced in early 2013... This band is not like the first one and does not work / help me ... I gained over 80 pounds back.... The port has flipped and I don't have any restriction and my band is almost full... Im just ready for a tool to help me loss the weight again. I feel the sleeve is a good choice for me...

Ok 7/26 sisters. I boo booed already on my first day of my preop diet. Booooo. Im on a less than 800 cal a day diet. 2 Protein shake meal replacements2water, low carb low sugar kind of diet and well i did great all day. Got home and ate some lean chicken and greenbeans then saw some leftover chili in a bowl. Heated that bad boy up and used it as dip for a large handful of chips!!!! NOOOOOOOOO. ive got to do better.

Another question for yall. I know there is no caffeine after surg. I am sooo addicted to coffee and get horrible headaches without the caffeine. Thats the only caffeine i drink.

Im seriously scared of what ill tirn into!!!

      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.
