Surgery June 3 Before- 204 Surg wt- 194 Current wt- 163

I wish I would have done it years ago!!! I love it!!

Thank you everyone! It's really comforting to know that I'm not in this alone!

Thank you! Very informative. I was wondering if I was doing the right thing by eating more often.

Ok, so I had my surgery June 3rd. Did very well the first two weeks but since then I haven't lost anything. At first I was only eating three times a day and I wasn't able to get but 300-400 cals in. (Including protein shakes) I started eating four to five times a day to get in at least 800 cals and I'm walking on the treadmill 30 mins a day. Still no weight loss!! What am I doing wrong? So frustrated!! Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Had the band for five years. Worked really well for the first two years. Lost 80lbs. Going into the third year got a bad stomach virus and threw up for 3 days (after a fill, two weeks before). Had to go get all the fld removed because my stomach was so swollen I couldn't even swallow my spit. After this I never could find my sweet spot. I was either too restricted or no restriction at all. I felt like I was starving ALL the time. Gained back 35 lbs and "spit up" almost after every meal. Had my band removed and sleeved on June 3rd. Down 13 lbs and feeling great! The best part... I'm NEVER hungry!!!! I love it! Wish I would have done it years ago.

IV in and the waiting begins!!

Nurse is going to start my IV in a few mins and the wait is on!

Headed to the hospital! Wish me luck!

I have to be at the hospital @6 am Monday morning!! Getting very nervous!!!

June 3rd is my date! I'm on week 2 of my pre-op liq diet. Down 7 lbs!! Starving still but will push on. I had my last visit with my Dr. yesterday and did my lab work, EKG, and chest x-ray. So ready for Monday!!!

You can do Face Yoga. Look on YouTube.

Put in a few drops of a flavored extract. I put banana in a vanilla shake and it taste totally different.

Here's a tip for all of u that are drinking protein shakes, get the vanilla and put in a few drops of a flavored extract. I put in banana extract and it really makes it so much better!

Started my two week liquid diet this morning! Omg, I'm already starving. It really plays with your mind, knowing you can't eat. Lord, give me strength to make it thru.

My dr wants me to do a full liq diet for two weeks prior to surgery. Ugggg! I start it Monday. My surgery is June 3rd.

My pre-op diet is strictly liquids! That is going to be so hard to do! I'm going to try my hardest to stick to it and not cheat. I know how important it is to shrink my liver for surgery. I am really nervous but very excited!

Woohoo! WOW! Lol
