I want to sit on an air plane or movie theater seat comfortabley. And get in and out of my car easy. Or sit in a booth at a resturant and have room to breath. I want to run a mile or more!

Icy Orange Isopure is nasty! I want to gag! Are all the Isopure flavors that yukkie?

I was caught doing a happy dance at the office.

Hi DeeVee, I start my pre op diet on the 8th and I get banded on the 22nd. I was afraid of the pre op diet too but I thought it's for a good cause and only temporary. Heck I have done far worse things to my body all for the glory of a smaller number on the scale. You can get through it Dee. We are here for you.

Love it! I have to start my pre op diet on the 8th. I think these recipes can help me stay on track. Thanks for sharing! Got any more?

When I get emotional I don't get hungry or eat. Yesterday stress finally got to me (not good with high blood pressure). I had a total bf and melt down. Even though I am having this melt down, I still have to feed the kids. They wanted cheesy fries with bacon, a real heart attack special. My sweet baby girl starts feeding me these cheesy fries with bacon and I start to feel happy. The good feeling lasted as long as the fries did. Now I understand why people eat comfort food.

Met with my surgion today. Every thing is looking good. Got my information for pre op diet and next thing is the surgery. I am so excited. I am scheduled for October 22nd, 4 weeks away. I am so happy.

It seems people who don't know what it's like to struggle carrying 100 pounds or more would think wls is a sign of weaknees or an easy way out. My dad had gb months after my first baby was born and he never told me. I found out when I went to pick up my baby from his house and he asked me to help him change his bandage. I asked him what happen and even then he did not tell me so I stop asking. Instead I went to my mom and got the information out of her. 8 years later my dad passed from lung infection but the wls gave him a new life and more time with us. I have told my family and 3 friends I could trust. Slowly I'm coming out of the obese closet. It's ok the world does not have to know about your medical issues.

This is my firlst day on lap band talk. Back in '70 I wanted to have weight loss surgery but life got in the way. So I never thought about it until last year. I thought I will go for it again and got approved on my 45th birthday last Tuesday. I could not stop smiling. I keep saying in my head, I can do this. Then I read the horror stories about the lap band and I almost want to back out. I prayed God please point me in a good direction and by accident I found lap band talk. I'm feeling much more relaxed and back to excited. Well now I have a pre op appointment on Sept 28 and an OR reserved for me October 22nd. I am real excited to have a positive change in me.
