It gets easier!! I remember the first night I got home, crying...thinking what have I done to myself! But here I am 3 months later, 43 pounds lighter--the lap band was the best decision I ever made! Stay strong--and know it will get better.

My pre op diet was the Atkins--all the eggs and cheese I could eat! I'm sure you didn't cause any damage--just get back on track and you'll be great! The guilt is probably the worst thing. Good luck with your surgery, it is going to be fabulous!

Finally landed in Onederland!!! When I had my surgery in April 193 pounds seemed so far away--but I made it and it feels great!!! Can't wait to keep seeing the numbers drop

Welcome!! I've been banded since 4/20/2011--best decision I've ever made!! Down 43 pounds--I'm doing things I've never done before!! Good luck with your journey--it is going to be fabulous:)

Congrats on your upcoming band! I was banded 4/20/11--so far so good! Down 43 pounds and feeling great!

just went in today for my 4th fill--I am now ay 6.7 in my band. How is everyone feeling after their 4th fill?

I am at 6.7 in a 10 cc band as of today. I was at 6.2 with no restriction--hoping this .5 cc's puts me in the green zone!

I'm still on popsicles and broth...the Jello hurt to bad for me to try again, just wasn't worth it! I am looking forward to cream of chicken Soup this Wednesday though! I was told I could use milk of magnesia for constipation...and that it will work well, and very quickly! Every dr. is different though--I would check with yours before you try it! Gas pains are the worst part for me too--I was told to expect some discomfort...but it wasn't just uncomfortable--I felt like I was being stabbed. Every day gets better though! Looking forward to the next few months

Anyone else having problems stomaching Jello?? I'm two days post op--didn't go as smoothly as I thought, horrible pains because they overinflated during the procedure, but two days later I'm feeling much better, except when I try jello. Guess I'm sticking to popsicles and broth for a little while longer. How are my fellow April bandsters feeling??

I'm scheduled for April 19!!! It is getting close...and so real Extremely excited but also quite nervous right now.
