hey, im 22 and 5 days post op the first three days were hell,, i was crying and pissed off and every one and so annoyed that i couldnt eat,, then yesterday i got up and had some energy m was so angry so i went for a walk,, the longer i walked, while it was a little uncomfortable, i started to notice i had more energy, and by the time i got home had a shower and my shake i had a nap and woke up feeling much better,, you just have to remember that this will all be positive,, this isnt the easy way out,, or the drastic option , but it is the best option for us, and it will work,, keep lookinh for other ppl's success stories, there is a girl on youtube, katie look her up her video's are amazingly helpful she talks about everything from the emotional ups n downs, to food and excerise and how her life is changing, good luck, keep yourself busy , i weight and measure myself everyday as i find it help me keep the long term goal in mind,

how long till i can have a shake,, im really hungry but not gamw to have a shake yet :/ what can i have other then shakes n soups

hey bandsters,, im three days post of and just have sooo much energy and laying in bed and "recovering" was so boring and kinda making me depressed, so today i decided to do some gardening,, am i over doing it ?? im not feeling any pain or discomfort,, im not doing any magor lifting or bending obviously, just want to make sure im not doing any damage

you shpuld measure in cm also cuz if youve started excercise it could be muscle gain rather then fat gain,,

thanks,, that was really helpful

how is it im still passing "stool" even tho i havnt eatten anything other then one shake ?

today is the day

my doc said anything i can drink thru a straw so is yoghurt n custard ok ?

day one post op, hunngggrryyy but scared to eat :/ any suggestions

ive got two days till my operation what do i need to prepare for the surgury and the two weeks after ?

thank you very much,, there were lots of things i didnt even think of,,

so for the first few months you dont feel much restriction ?? so you'll have your normal appetite ?

i did that,, i just still have more questions , dont know just really nervous, im just so used to being in shake diets and all the side effects of those that im not wraping my head around how those side effects want happen with this,

1 week till op and having so many questions still, do you feel tired cuz your eating less, do you get lack of concentration from eating less, im medicated for depression should i up my dosage while im loosing weight, how long till you can physically see the a difference, what kind of meals can you eat or is it just healthy snack foods ?

my lapband doc isnt really giving me much info,, when i ask questions he just tells me not to worry and think of the long term goal,, but there is a long way between here and there,, my lapband doc hasnt sent me to a dietition or nutritionist, but ive got my cert in nutrition,,

thats a grear average and very achievable, do you find that walking is helping loose inches as well as kg ? cuz i know alot of ppl when the loose the scale weight its a while before the loose inchs

4th of october,, so next thursday ,, yea nervous been reading lots and lots of other threads trying to prepare myself ,

so i got my date today, i dont need to do the pre diet kinda nervous though and excited going to enjoy somw foods before i cant eat them, but got to keep it healthy to make sure my liver doesnt enlarge,, any advice for the week before and weeks following ?

lol,, yea since being on the shakes ivd been craving,, but weirdly healthy thknks like salads n tuna, i suppose technically after surgury we would be able to fit a cheeseburger in lol

hey, im getting banded in the next month or so and have started my diet just to get used to it,, im doing fatblaster, its working great and tastes great , but im worried it has to strictly be optifast cuz it tastes horrid lol

thats awesome your feeling great,, hope im like that lol, how are you finding adjusting to the eatting habbits ? do you crave food alot ? i think that will be the hardest part for me

one week post ,, how are you feeling?? are you tired ?? i have my second appt with my dr tomorrow . my doc says ill only 1kg a week but that doesnt nake sense to me cuz every time i do shakes i loose upto 4 kg a week , is my dr just sayinf that so my expectarions arnt to high ?

ahhh thats great thanks everyone, so it about the weight loss not shrinking my liver ? im worried im going to loose weight and not shrink my liver lol,, my ultra sound report says my liver is normal size, but im concerned my dr may still think its too big,, im really keen to get mt surgery

im on day 10 ,, havnt got my surgury datw yet, just doing it to get used to it, im finding im extremely tired and having headache and finding it hard to concentrate,, the shakes diet isnt hard itself tho and ive lost 7kg so far
