Hi Everyone . I am 3 days post op and feeling so much better. I would have to say the gas is the worst part of this journey. Its definitely a changing. My question is has only heard of this all natural herbs: called "smooth Move". It really works. I was wondering if you all thought it would be OK to make some tonight so i might go in the AM? I The pain subsiding and I am grateful to that. I thought it was going to be a lot easier..but boy the Gas is really something. Would I do it over again.. Heck yes!! I will happily suffer a couple of day to get the body I want. I am down 13 pounds as of this morning. And, honest I should be I am only eating 300 - 500 calories ..I am just not hungry. Anyway.. sorry for going on and on.. Thank you all!!

Hello everyone, Today was the 1st day of the rest of my life!! Today I started my liquid diet and I must say it was not to bad. I know its not goign to be easy but I am ready and willing for a great outcome. I have 50pounds to lose and I am self pay. Anyone else around the 15th? (bummer no spell check?) lol good luck everyone!!

I am so happy for you. It gives me hope. I am banded on 8/15 and on liquid right now. I have 50 pounds to lose and hope i can do it within one year. I am in no hurry at all but its good to see you have done it. Congrats!! Well people..... Today is my one year anniversary! I must begin by boasting.......I walk an hour a day (uphill one-half of the time..down hill the other) thank God! I also write everything down...I am now on my "lap-band journal #4". I probably don't keep the most accurate books, but I will say I have been loyal. Free days .....yes I've had a few....drunk days...yes I've had a few....fun days....yes I have had many, but most of all I will say exercise days! Mind you I really don't like it , but somehow it has gotten into me.....when it is summer it is 7:00 IN THE A.M.....In the winter, it is two times a day for 30 minutes! Wow that is crazy! The other thing is I was on a platue (which I learned how to spell really, really good) for about 3 months, did not lose a pound, but I went down 3 sizes.....as I sit hear in a lose size 14 heading on to 13 (by the way I am 5'9") I have to tell ya it has been worth every single second! Journaling, exercising, and eating to your height , weight, and age....make a huge diff......Happy Bandiversary to me! Peace out and party on.......!

Can you tell me how many hours you all stayed int he hospital? I am self pay and I really was hoping just a few hours. I am healthy and heal very well. I don't think I need to be there too long. please tell what you know/think. Thanks so much! LB 8/15/11! yah!

Hi, yesterday was my first day and I lost 6 lbs (yah). but I had muscle cramps in the caves and feet all night. Anyone else have this?

Thanks everyone, Of course I knew that and its always been a thing I have had. I play tennis and get dehydrated all the time. But, i thought the protien drinks would have everything I needed in it. I am drinking lots of Water today. Day 2 is almost over. I am really for Aug 15th. I am so excited. Thanks again everyone!!

Hi, I am in the same boat. I am self pay and my bmi is 33/ today 32 (2nd day on Liquid diet). I need to lose 50lbs. Couple of questions please; How long did you stay in the hospital. I am hoping I can get out of there within a few hours. Also, did you have to do the liquid diet? Tell how its going with you!! Thank you!
