My doc wants me to work on making the changes that I need to in my life post-op and down the road can look into using other drugs to help with the weight loss down the road.

I would stay away from the so called "Diet Pills" No offense but these guys have made billions with a so called pill that has not scientific study behind it. WHat some people have used and it is also mighty tasty if you ask me is the control bar, even melting mama did a review on it, they taste good and they are the only nutrition bar scientifically proven to curve appetite. Take a look here Good luck.

I think that you should evaluate what you're doing and how your band is working.

I would start back with something such as a 5 day pouch test, log all your food at dailyplate.com, and keep exercising.

Sometimes people are slow losers at the start and pick up later, some are fast losers then become slow losers like me, and som just lose slow overall.

It comes eventually. You have lost 25lbs. That's great and I am sure that if you stick with it you will see results.

How is the restriction? How's the Fluid intake overall? What foods do you eat?

      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.
