How long have you been banded? I was banded in late 2008 by Dr. Jayaseelan. I went from 191 down to 116 but now I'm back up to 165 and pretty depressed about it.

That's funny! My doctor's first name is Nirmal. :P So are you doing ok? I lost weight fast and was a skinny happy girl for about three years, but I've let my compulsive overeating and food obsession take over, and I've been gaining. I feel helpless. And worried cuz I could never afford surgery again.

I started at 248#, and lost 30, and kinda stayed there. Up then down, up and down. We moved around a lot and now that we are staying put I can focus on getting my adjustments and focus on my eating.

      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.
