    Hey everyone! I was banded on 4/18 - a week from today and I am down 10 pounds! I am really struggling with the diet though and have cheated almost everyday. I know it's not good but I am hungry sooooooooooo much!!! Now when I say I have cheated, I don't mean on T-Bone Steaks and Chops! I have eaten crackers, applesauce and a jelly bean. I hope this won't ffect me too much. My first post-op appointment is on Wednesday and I plan to be honest and tell the surgeon everything!!

    I need to thank all of you who responded to my last post....I'm feeling a lot better and a little more prepared for this new journey!

    Thank you so much for reaching out! It really helps to know that there's someone else experiencing the same things. SO thank you. As for Easter, what Easter? I stayed in bed ALL DAY and pretended that it wasn't a holiday! I know that if I went out, Iwould be starving and pissed off cuz I couldn't eat so I just passed the day. I ate 4 sugar free ice pops, pudding, gross chicken broth!!

    Hi! Just wondering how your Easter was? Hope that you are doing ok, and hanging in there. It was really hard for me to go to brunch and watch everyone eat french toast, waffles, and sausage. I ate some broth and yogurt. I am really sore, and sleeping has been hard for me to get get comfortable. I think it will get better soon, but just wondering how you were doing. Hope all is going well!

    Wow! Thanks so much for your response - it really encouraged me to hang in there and to know that I am not alone I guess this is a process that I am just beginning. Thanks

    Hi Everyone, I am 4 days Post-Op and having so many second thoughts! First, I am disgusted that I went into the hospital at 251 and 4 days later I am 253. I am starving and can't stop thinking about food. I know that the Lap Band is a tool and a majority of the work will be up to me and I am prepared. But it's discouraging that the scale is never in my favor - even now! I hear about people being able to walk around and even go back to work after a few days; I am aching and sore and can't imagine having to go back to work. WHy is ist that my experience is such a disaster????? UGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Brklyynn, OMG!! Your story sounds just like mine! I was regretful immediately after surgery (4/19/2011) and was so scared. Afterall, food has been my favorite thing to do for so long! It's 3 days post-op and I am starving! But, I am optimistic and hopeful that all will be ok. Good Luck and stay well.

    Hi there, Your pre-op diet sounds just like mine. WHo was your nutritionist? Mine was Lisa Gentile in Long Island, NY. I am scheduled for banding on 4/18/2011 and haven't been able to stick to the pre-op; I'm always hungry and tempted to eat. Iwas double thinking the surgery myself. Good Luck!
