I don't have alot to go on here, are you diabetic? Often happens, with the amount overweight. Make sure you are on the appropriate Optifast. Is there a sugar-free type? Is this the only thing you can have? Your MD office would be wise to let you have control with a liquid diet, for variety if nothing else. Mine was quite forthcoming with soups, cottage cheese, jello, -- still liquids and yet some control. Tomato soup every night was actually something to look forward to, with skim milk and whatever spices....one night Mexican spices, another Italian, sometimes just dill and garlic, creative. Good luck, I'm pulling for you as I know your children are!!

I was banded the same day. Did well for 3 weeks, now it's like the band was never put it. I have my big appetite back and no little pouch saying ..stop!... My doc WILL NOT do adjustments for 6 weeks, so I guess the post-op swelling is down, and in need of adjustment but in the meantime I'm gaining back some of the 25 I'd lost. It's getting very discouraging. First fill next week. Will I feel like I have a small pouch again that will tell me when to stop eating???? Help!! So discouraged!! Chris

I just logged in for the emmi program and found this whole website. I'm on the 3rd day of the pre-op liquid diet. So far, so good. Anyone want to:thumbs_up:
