Hello Judy,

I have been where you were at just three weeks ago. I felt just like just giving up, but decided to call my nutritionist first and talk with her. Then moved up my appointment for another fill which was last Thursday. I told myself why I wanted the band then made myself a promise to go back to the basics. So I started with stage three after my fill and tried to stay with it then moved onto stage four for the rest of the week. Now back to stage five again last night I told myself is it worth it eating that (of course my mind said yes) but I get so tired of trying and not following through. So tonight I will make sure I exercise - I have tried not too (not good) but this part of my life was a struggle to exercise. I set a small goal if I don't lose a pound in one week after my fill I will start exercising. I get on the scale tomorrow, but I have decided I want to lose 100 pounds within the next two years. So today looks like a good day! I weigh 274.6 pounds in high school weight 300 pounds now I am 44 years old. We can do this please just take a few moments to remember why you went down this journey and regroup. We have all made mistaken and have went back to old habits and just said whatever. Just forgive yourself and start afresh today! Today looks like a good day for Judy and I can start again - the craving and stress will come but you can do it Judy! I wish you the best please just start again today forget about yesterday.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
