Hmm.. it seems to me you should really let your Dr. know the fills arent working-- maybe he just doesnt want to over do it. Also, are you drinking high calorie drinks-- those are a killer. I recomment you eat as much protien as possible-- it is really filling and not high in calories. Try not to drink Water before or after your meals and if you excersice your metabolism will burn calories. Hope this helps!

I have got all my ducks in a row except the psychiatric evaluation. I can't get anyone to call me back. Would you recommend anyone to do the evaluation? I'm so frustrated and my consultation is on the 15th. Thank you for any help!

Hello I am from Dallas,TX newly banded on 12/22/08. I would love to chat with you from time to time to learn things you did to help with the weightloss. I am nervous about what I should be eating. I just want a friend to chat with that has gone through this process. Feel free to contact me via email.vanettaa2002@yahoo.com and I would love to have a email address to contact you at if that is okay.

      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.
