Girl, It will be fine. I was banded in late Feb 2013. I am so happy w/the results! You can do it girl you just got to have faith in yourself:)

You will only fail if you decide not to follow through and fall back into old habits. Once you are banded you will have an all new mindset.

Joatsaint, are you just having surgery or according to your stats you had it in December. Are you male or female? I am just full of questions. Best of luck either way.

Thanks everyone. Turned out fine. I sat with my oldest son and my brothers so they know and my food portions were a little bit bigger than normal but I had a shake for lunch. One person asked how much I lost and I said it is private and I don't share. I think she was offended. Oh well, too bad. My fat ass is finally smaller than my SIL, who I hate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was my best NSV ever.

I have read all these chats and You all have given me some good ideas. I am 4 weeks post op as of tomorrow and haven't lost a pound since i finished my two weeks of shakes post op. To be honest with you, I am extremely frustrarted and really don't know what to do. I am not sure what to eat and when. At this point I have lost 31 pounds and am extremely stuck! I really want to maximize my weight loss at this time but Have really no support medically and am completely lost. Help please if you have any advice. Thanks

Yes!! This is all about you and for you. You deserve this and the people in your life will benefit as well. Congrats....I look forward to hearing about all your successes!

Congratulations, LifetimeLoser! That's wonderful!

Thanks for all the info! I'm getting sleeved 5/6 and I'm gathering ideas.!

55 pounds down.

These are all great ideas guys! Thank you. Sometimes when I am frustrated I can't think straight. yummm...avacados I could totally do that. I never thought of returning my shakes...what a great idea.
