First of all they doctors are trying their hardest to market the sleeve because there is no follow up care on their part except post op and maybe every six months or if you run into a problem. It is not reversible. The band can come out if need be. Don't let them sell you something you don't want.

Your taste will change after surgery so I wouldn't buy a whole lot of anything. I use Body Fortress powder when I need it. I also like EAS but what you like now you may not like after surgery.

I have seen this question too frequently. I am banded now what, I got approved now what, I am post op now what? People your surgeon and their team should leave you with no questions like this. You should know every step of every moment with your band except which foods it will hate. You shouldn't be second guessing what you are eating, wonder what you are supposed to be doing. If you have to ask now what, then you need to find another doctor. No one should come out of weight loss surgery blind. Not knowing what to eat, the problems that can occur, how often you should be drinking and so forth. You spent six months to a year preparing for your surgery and you should not be asking now what because your doctor, nutritionist and their team should have explained everything to you.

I love doctors like that because after you lose your weight you can send him a picture and tell him to eat his own words now. Stupid ass doctors. If they are so much in love with the sleeve or by pass then they should have their own office and only see patients who want those surgeries.

Okay let's get a run down of what you are eating. Only then can someone help you. What do you eat for your three meals and are you snacking. This time is hard because it's up to you to do the work. Being stressed and depressed is not helping with your weight loss and will hinder it. I think you need to talk to your doctor. Sometimes fills do not ever get rid of hunger I know just ask me. It's just something I have learned to live with. Instead of being in total break down mode explain what you are doing and maybe we can help. Weight loss depends on high Protein, low carb, sleep, moving your bowels regularly, not being stressed, depressed and getting in 64 ounces of Water not liquids Water a day.

I don't know about the pain but just know you will have a scar from hip to hip. They can't really do it any other way. I would also ask if he is putting in drains or leaving a drain hole because I know people who got the new version of just a drain hole and it got infected and took a long time to heal. I would rather be bothered with two drains for a week then a weeping hole that takes forever to close up and puts you at risk for infection. That would be my concern.

Sometimes you have to reset your metabolism. We get in carb heaven and forget what happens. Weight stalls are common as you lose but weight loss depend on more then just eating. sleep is a big reason people do not lose weight. Everyone needs 8 hours of sleep a night. Your body needs 12 hours to burn off the calories you have had for the day so I try to not eat after my 12th hour. Stress is also a reason you wont lose weight also. Stressing about anything even if its the scale moving. You also have to make sure you are not constipated and going regularly. Yes I know yuk but it is part of the getting rid of process. Not drinking enough Water also will not help with weight loss.

They are not becoming obsolete. Doctors are just becoming lazy and don't want to provide the after care that comes with them. They actually have to be responsible for something. If it was becoming obsolete and so many complications why would thousands of people still be getting them. I would not have either of the other surgeries. If there ever comes a time that I need my band out then that will be that and no other surgery will be rerouting or disfiguring anything in my body.

Your old food friend has made your life miserable. So why would you not want it to be in jail? Your whole life revolves around food instead of living. Don't you think its time to get your life back and think how bad your food friend has treated you all these years.

Very good advice. Being happily married I want to add that any woman should respect herself enough to only want to be treated like a princess. If he cant do that for you then you don't need him.

At least once a month or every other I go back to liquids for a few days just to detox if I am eating crappy which happens in maintenance I believe B-52 also does this. I drink three Protein shakes a day and Water. It helps get you back in the right direction. Let's face it we all had surgery because we ate like crap and as someone who is maintaining it is not easy and sometimes you just need those days to get yourself back on the wagon. I use the Body Fortress from Wal-mart with 8 ounces of two percent milk. I use a scoop and a half which is 45 grams of Protein very little sugar. Plus the added protein in the milk. After three days I can feel the difference and it helps me a whole lot. I don't always eat perfect (surprise) and this helps me and reminds me of why I had surgery. It puts me back in bandster hell so to speak lol to remember all the trouble I went through to get where I am today. You will survive three days of this I can assure you. Working 3-11 is an odd shift for anyone to work because you stay up late and sleep late which is something I have had to get used too. I have worked 7a to 7p most of my life. So now I have a desk job with very little movement except picking up documents throughout the hospital. But I did my time on the floor and now is my time to enjoy my middle aged years. You would be surprised how much this helps get you back on track. If my hunger is really really bad I will eat a Protein Bar in between. I prefer zone perfect. Pure protein makes higher Protein Bars but then you don't want to over protein yourself either because your kidneys have to work extra hard to get rid of it but that will be for another day.

Be careful of potatoes and Beans right now they are more carbs then anything else.
