I went on the liquid diet the day before Thanksgiving & have lost 17 lbs since then. I've lost 5 since Wednesday's surgery, so that is exciting. I hope to lose about 100 lbs by next Thanksgiving, so we'll see. I'm having a lot of shoulder/gas pain, so I hope that will soon subside. I've got a 14 month old son, so my goal is to get healthy for him and never let him have any memories of having a fat Mommy. Have a good day, Nancy

Hi, My banding was just done this past Wednesday (12/8) so I'm not too far behind you. So far I've had no problems and have lost 5 lbs since Wednesday. I'm sore and get tired easily, but I am looking forward to knowing what my new life will be like in a few weeks/months. Best wishes on your continued recovery, and keep me in mind if you need a chat buddy. Take care, Nancy

My band surgery is scheduled for 12/8 and I feel much the same way. I am angry at myself for letting myself get to this point and for not being able to get the weight off by myself. I'm hoping to lose 100 lbs so I know I need more help than I can give myself. I am now in the liver shrinking diet part of preparations and each time I drink a shake I feel angry. I was glad to hear that someone else is feeling mad too. Thanks for posting.
