Anyone not tell thier family and friends that they got the surgery?? Do you feel guilty not saying anything everytime they notice you loosing weight?? How do you explain new eating habits?

i've never experienced constipation but it's been 5 days since i last went.... im trying prune juice today

Hi i had my surgery on the 23rd and i feel this horrible gas too..it is getting less frequent but I don't find the gasx works . Im looking forward to being healed. im fine when i sit back i don't even feel i have it until i stand up then i feel this huge pull on my stomach and a few seconds after standing the painful gas starts to stir up my chest and back down. When people were talking gas i thought like farting alot or burping not this...I wonder if this is how baby's feel when they have gas hell id cry my ass off too if this is how it feels at a wee age...hmmmm thinking wonder if that gripe water would help?

Yep i indulged myself ate everything and anything it got me ready for the preop diet...Im 5 days on preopt now...Im still thinking that i will beable to eat the same foods just not as much...or differently. I would love to only beable to eat one slice of pizza and be satisfied...instead of the whole thing and feel like a blimp..

Im having a chocolate shake mixed with a cap full of sugarfree caramel syrup...yum it's good Starting on day 5 of preop.....so far so good... Our diet consists of 3 shakes a day and 250 calories of veggies......

you look great thanks for the inspiration!!

omgsh....Im getting banded on Feb 23rd...In Toronto where did you get banded?? this scares me....

Im not banded yet so i don't know how it feels but this is one of my fears.....The good thing is that you only gained 25 lbs and are recognizing you are cheating and trying to get support.....you hit a little bumb in the road had your fun with food for the last few months or so... now it's time to get back on track...You have gotten so far don't give up now...Don't think of it as a gain think of it as your down 75 lbs and you have 25lbs to go... what if you were to get another fill??? stop drinking at your meals?? remove all cheat Snacks out of the house?? Best of luck....

Thats awsome...I can't wait till this happens to me..so inspiring to here peoples successes....Thankyou for sharing.....Im getting banded on the 23rd of Feb can't wait...

My banded life begins on Feb 23rd can't wait!!! 1/28/11-SMOKEY2112 2/2/11 - Shawnypoo 2/7/11-ruthiesmg 2/7/11-soon2besexynslim 2/09/11-Mrs.Mustang 2/09/11-Bunnykins 2/09/11-Loozer2B 2/10/11 - JMH80 (Jackie) 2/10/11-Elle23 2/11/11-Justplaintired 2/11/11-KeeKee99 2/14/11-Alikitty 2/16/11-TexasMama 2/28/11-~Post Modern Retro Pretty~ 2/10/11__Trns4md 2/23/11 - Angel2001

Hi My BMI is 35 i will be paying for the surgery .Like you i have tried everything I joined Weight Watchers back in July I lost 20 lbs since but with Christmas gearing me off im sure i have put on 10 i don't know i haven't weighed my self and haven't attended any meetings....Im tired of this rollar coaster ride up and down....spending money on gym memberships, weight loss centres, weight loss pills, etc. Im hoping the Band will help me I love food and 1 serving never seems to be enough for me....So heres hoping that the Band will control this issue and the pounds will shed....It's expensive and Im terrified that it won't work as i have read some story's of it not working....I can't imagine how that would feel?? I have desided not to tell anyone that im getting the surgery only my husband knows...

HI I haven't told anyone...I don't think i will either...Just my husband knows..I am paying for my surgery so im scared of judgement and what family will think ..Im scheduled in Feb.

Hi im in the same boat...My surgery is feb 23rd and im still debating if i should tell anyone? Only my husband and i know...If i tell one i must tell all..Im scared of all the judgement...I wish i was that type of outgoing person and tell everyone and not have a care in the world....Would i be lying if i told people how i was loosing weight??I am changing the way i eat i will be exercising....The band is only a tool that will limit my portions it's up to me to make the right choices of foods....It's no different if i were to purchase a personal trainer and join a weight loss clinique?? accept im buying a lifetime commitment with my band....I suppose if i were to purchase a lifetime of personal trainers and support from a weightloss clinque the cost would be the same....I don't know why i feel so ashamed to say anything??Ohwell anyone elese out there not tell anyone or wait until you lost the weight to tell everyone??

Hi Everyone Im thinking of doing the lap band with SWLC...I have had the consult with Dr. Colbourn he seemed nice...Makes the procedure seem quite simple and easy solution to weight loss...to good to be true?.Im glad thier is a Northern Ontario Forum...Seems closer to home to talk to people about it....Im worried about the eating part i love love food ... Will i miss it Can you fullfill a craving? I know it stops you from being hungry...But being hungry isn't an issue for me im social eater bored eater...emotional eater i eat all the time so im never hungry as it is....Are you able to eat say like your moms making her famous pie can you eat a small amount to serve that mouth watering craving?? Do you have cravings anymore? How is everyone doing?? is it everything you expected? Have you loss weight??
