Thanks, Very reassuring!

I was banded on the 26th of October, and am scheduled for my follow up on Nov. 13. Only full liquids till then. Will my fist fill happen then? Is it yucky? so far, I have lost 32 lbs including the pre-banding diet and the post badimg period.

Thanks to Msbritt for the packet! The information there parallels mine, but is much clearer and better organized! hope everyone is doing well!

You and I have almost identical stats and goal.What you said makes a lot of sense.I have lost weight many times before, and here I am at an all time high, with sleep apnea, four herniated disks, and knee pain. If I could keep the weight off, I would have done it. aside from the health benefits,I would like to have one summer when I don't cry putting on a bathing suit... It just hurts to have this ordeal characterized as cheating. One son likened it to having an answer sheet for a test, and not putting in the effort to study! I know I need to make my own decision, but I didn't expect to have doubts this close to the surgery!

I am due to have surgery on the 26th. I've lost 25 pounds during the past floor months, and now my kids don't want me to have surgery. they say I can do this on my own and that surgery is cheating. They also say that out will be awful to have to live with these restrictions for the rest of my life. i'm now having doubts. Can anyone relate?
