What worked for me was walking... even though you might feel some discomfort walk as much as you can and you will see how all the gas pains go away fast. Good luck! Your going to feel great. Zuly

HEY THERE! I'm laughing because I felt the exact same way. I've therefore been going it alone. I was banded Oct 25th and have lost 20lbs thus far. I've had two adjustments (I'm up to 7 cc's) and I'm scheduled for my 3rd next week. I've had NO problems whatsoever, pre/post surgery. I guess I'm a trooper. Can't wait till my 3rd adjustment. The Dr. said that's when the "real action" kicks in. Then I'll probably submit post about vomiting, depression and possibly regret. LOL Kidding. Hang in there 001. Seeing that your 15lbs down thus far - your doing GREAT. Don;t buy too many new clothes just yet for you;ll soon be donating those as well. (LOL)

I think that some of your blog post might be better off as topics, especially since you're looking for advice. Also for me the recent blog post show up near the bottom of the page on the right so unless I'm looking specifically for recent blogs or I happen to be scrolling down to see the other forum topic (which doesn't happen very often) I miss new blog entries

I am new to the "Forum" so I would love to tell you anything I am just not completely knowledgeable yet........

Don't take it personal, I've had posts where no one responds, too.

Hello Helllo Hello lol What can I try to help you with .. Not every one responds to my post as well.. i wouldn't take it personal lol

I truly believe God has blessed you by giving you the power to seek out someone to help you. Remember, God will not give us any more than we can handle. He is giving you strength and he has given you the freedom of choice. Rest assured, your decision to have the lapband is not the work of the devil, but that of Jesus and his everlasting love.

I just want to say that I know exactly where you are coming from! I have prayed for a long time for God to show me what i need to do to lose weight and keep it off. And i went to my dr and asked her what kind of diet i needed to be on to lose weight, and she then point blank said....“have you ever considered lapband?” And at first i was kinda stunned and didn't know what to think. But then I started to feel like I had failed bc I haven't been successful on my own. But I realized this surgery is a tool...not a overnight fix....and God knows it's a process, lol...but I need something that will change my life...and I truely feel like God said “this is it, this is your answer”. And of course as soon as I accepted this new chapter the devil has battled me. Making me feel like I will fail if I try this bc I have failed at losing weight my whole life. And then I felt doubt and confusion creep in...BUT then I remembered my Bible says that God does not create confusion....that satan does...so I knew I chose the right path. I am (almost) 27, I have a 6 year old daughter and a great life with my husband. But I feel like I have let them down bc of my weight gain....my weight has held me back for far too long. And i not only want to do this to make them proud of me...but I want to be proud of me. I am still going through my processing stages, and my insurance co. Has an awesome team of supporters that helped me get started. I still have a ways to go....but its exciting, sometimes scary and overwhelming....but I am confident in God that He will give me the strength to accomplish my goals. The devil has told me all my life that im a failure, I am unworthy and I should give up bc I will mess up and fail. BUT I CAN DO ALL* THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHENS ME....and so can u! Hold your head up! Rebuke the devil and the lies he is trying to feed u....and put him under your feet! You are a child of the ALMIGHTY and he has set you free! We don't earn forgiveness....he just shows us his love and mercy if we ask! (sorry so long)
