Thank you all so much! I figured it would get easier as the month went on, but I was starting to hate that I got the lap band. I called my Dr. and have an appointment this afternoon to get an unfill. YES! Slider foods are the enemy! Right now I am not even able to eat fish or a salad, so I've been eating whatever I could keep down. It was so annoying that I would not even want to eat, which isn't good either. I love healthy food and I am excited about being able to eat normal, healthy foods. I don't think eating should be unpleasant. I want to enjoy this ride. Anyway, thanks again!

So I had my first fill after surgery on April 6th. Since my surgery I have lost almost 30 pounds. I am at a stand still in my weight loss. Maybe I shouldn’t complain because 30 pounds is a lot of weight and I have gotten so many compliments. I’m thinking about never getting a fill again, because everything I eat gets stuck unless it is something that is unhealthy like Cheetos. I have eaten them so much that I can’t stand the taste anymore. So, are there any healthy recipes out there that will allow me to stay healthy and not get stuck!!! I threw up almost every day last week because nothing goes down. It’s almost like torture…so if there is anyone out there who can help me make this a pleasant weight loss journey I would appreciate your feedback.

What is your routine? I feel like things are slowing down. I can't seem to get out of this weight range for NOTHING!!

I had my first fill yesterday...funny how you get used to eating a certain way and that refill puts a whoopin' on you if you eat the wrong thing or too fast...OUCH!!

I'm starving and I'm at the point where I would rather eat nothing that that stupid broth!!!! UGH!

I honestly believe that my mother wants me to be fat! I told her about my surgery yesterday and that I have tobe on Clear liquids today and Monday to prepare for surgery on Tuesday...so she brings in super nachos from one of my favorite restaurants! I was doing well, keeping myself occupied and she comes in with this to go box. I felt like an ANIMAL who couldn't stop eating!!!!! I really feel bad now. I was wondering what will happen because my doc was pretty serious about consuming only clear liquids...wow! I hope that I can do this. I hope that I stick to this...I really want to lose weight and be healthy...she shouldn't have brought the nachos...but I shouldn't have eaten them... Does anyone know if this will effect my surgery? -
Okay! Today is the big day! YIPPPEEEEE! (that was my skinny girl screaming out...she can't wait to be unleashed...lol)

i feel really bad. my oc had me on liquids just two days before my surgery (tuesday) and what does my mom do? come in with super nachos from my fav restaurant!! sabotage!! i was doing so well and the day is almost over. will this effect my surgery?
-
Ok, now that my surgery is getting closer (Tuesday), I'm getting quite nervous. What should I expect? Am I, as a food-aholic going to be able to do clear liquids, full liquids, pureed food, and then start eathing healthy? Will I still have cravings for other foods, or is this like pushing the restart button on my bad habits?

Does anyone know how to get rid of all the advertisements on this site? they are in the way!!! grrr!LOL

I have told basically everyone that I am getting banded and only a few people support my decision. My supervisor said, "You eat too much! Hopefully that band won't bust!" She went on to say that I will gain double the weight back that I lose and my stomach will hang to my knees...blah blah blah. FYI: she's fat! I can use the word "fat" because I fall under the category....lol. Another friend of mine thinks that I won't lose weight with the band because she didn't. She says I will be mad at myself later. I LOVE the negative feedback!!!! I LOVE proving people wrong!!! My lap band surgery is on March 8th! I will be successful in this journey! I'm not worried about the people who say I can't make it or don't believe in me! This is something I am doing for myself and for my children. I believe this procedure is perfect for me and I believe I will be a success story! I know that because I found this website and there are plenty of people on here who are a success story! Can't WAIT until March 8th!!!! -

Pre-op is going well. I don't have to do only liquids like everyone else...not sure why. I have to eat two meals a day with liquids in between, being sure that I eat breakfast. I'm having hunger pains, but I kinda like the feeling of it. I haven't let myself feel hungry in a long time...hmmm...perhaps this should be a blog... =) -
Great job, girl!!! 8 pounds makes a huge difference! You aren't in your 270s anymore! YAY! I'm not going to weigh myself until I go in for surgery. I don't want to get discouraged and I want to be shocked when I see how much I've lost doing the pre-op diet. 11 days for you and 12 days for me until surgery! We are on our way!!!
