:smile2:HI I AM A MOM OF 3 SMALL KIDS..AND I AM HAVING MY BAND ON THE 30TH OF SEPT. I AM STRESSING A BIT CUZ I KNOW THAT THE FIRST FEW WEEKS AFTER SURGERY CAN BE CHALLENGING...SPECIALLY TRYING TO PASS DOWN THOSE NASTY PROTEIN DRINKS!! I WILL HAVE SOME HELP FROM MY HUSBAND AND MOM BUT I WILL NEED TO TAKE CARE OF MY 5 YEAR OLD GIRL AND 3 YEAR OLD TWIN BOYS...THEY ARE A BIG JOB.DURING THE DAY I BEARLY HAVE TIME TO SIT, IT SEEMS I AM ALWAYS IN THE KITCHEN GETTING THEM SOMETHING. ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE SO ADVICE FOR ME ON HOW TO KEEP MY COOL AND SURVIVE THE LIQUID DIET?

tHANKS

ok iti s 6am on Sat and i am at work feeling terrified. My surgery is coming up in 5 days and i have not lost the 10lbs the surgent wants me to loose. My body just want to hang on to every ounce!!! will they cancel the surgery because of it?? this is running around my head... if i starve myself for the next 4 days can i loose ?? ...no, i dont think im going to do that.

On thing for sure if the surgery should get canceled i dont know when i will be able to rescheduel cuz my husband and my mother have taken time off to help me with my 3 small kids...and i took off some time from work. Anyway i guess i am just venting to myself.

It has been 1 month since my surgery and i have lost about 16lbs.... it is a lot specially since i have not worked out at all...well that is if you dont could runnign around after 3 small kids 24/7. Today i felt down because i got on the scale and saw that i only lost 1 1/2 lbs *^%#@ i should be happy as long as im going down. But so far i have not seen much change in how i see myself or how my clothes fit. I Know i need to relax and the results will come. I have my next App on Nov 19th and this will be my chance for my 1st fill. I want to loose a total of 20 lbs by then.....

I just needed to vent, even if it is to myself. Winter is coming and it is going to be a long one. I need to keep my sanity.
