Hello All,

I'm sorry I've not been too active on the board. It is true that after you've lost all your weight, you suddenly have much less free time. This is a good thing I think. :(

Anyway, my revision surgery is Thursday with Dr Ortiz in TJ Mexico. I leave Wednesday morning at 6am (yikes) for pre-op. I am so glad to be getting it done. This last month I've been surprised at how much I've suffered with "last meal" syndrome. Things like fried pickles (my FAVORITE) I have a difficult time eating once I'm fully restricted, so I totally pigged out this last month. I've enjoyed the food, but I will enjoy having my 123lb body back much more. Its amazing how much more ten pounds does when you're at this weight. :D I figure the ten pound will easily come off during the month on liquids.

I went and bought a huge variety of liguid foods today so I'll have all sorts of things to choose from - which is VERY important. liquids get old fast as it is - if you only have Slim Fast it'll get old even faster.

Best wishes on you revision surgery; you will be back to loosen in no time.

I am a week away from my banding and I can't wait. Haven't gotten the "last meal" syndrome yet but I am sure it will come. I am just working on drinking more Water, taking tiny bites and eating slower.

Will be looking forward to your posts when you return from Mexico.

Good Luck...I bet you are still just as nervous this time as the first. The only difference is you know what to expect this time. Have a safe trip....

Corgi, you beat me to the question! Yes please, why are you getting a revision, did you have a slip?

Oh, and you have done amazing work. Your before and after pix amaze me...

Vines, Corgi, try doing a search on her name so you can read her story - yes, she DID have a slip (great story too).

Mae, we will be thinking about you. Come back as soon as you can and give details.

God Bless~

I caught this a bit late, so you're probably already out of surgery, but I hope everything went well and those 10 lbs fall off easily :)

You've done so well thus far, I'm sure everything will be fine.

      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.
