Today was not such a good day for me. The scale has stayed the same and to top it off it was the one year anniversary of my brother-in-laws death. I felt down and out today and made the biggest mistake by cheating on my liquid diet. I felt so bad after that I got on the treadmill and started running and then I did Pilates. I really felt ashamed and I never want to do that again. I so hope I don't gain weight. I'm going to be so strict on myself these last few days before surgery and doing a lot of working out to make up for what I have done. I just want to go to bed now and start fresh tomorrow. I really let myself down today

Heres to wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

I was really nervous before talking to my dr again. Now I feel more relaxed knowing that they will give me something to calm me down when I get to the hospital, since I know the car ride there will be my most anxiety. Good Luck on your surgery!!! I think that's four of us now having surgery on May 1st.

Good Luck on your surgery tomorrow!!!

Thanks!!!

Thanks so much! Congrats to you to, 3 pounds in 4 days is awesome!!! Time is flying by for our surgery date. I can't wait just to get it done. What time do you go in for surgery? I go in at 10am central time.

Yesterday and today I took the time to spend with my family. Yesterday I didn't lose any weight just stayed the same. I did feel better and my mind didn't seem so brain fogged anymore. Today I'm feeling good and I'm excited about my surgery. I thought I didn't lose any weight, but then I forgot I didn't weigh myself. When I weighed myself I was down 2 pounds. I'm now 260..YAY!! That's 10 pounds. I feel great, have no headaches, and no brain fog. I'm hoping to be in the 50's tomorrow. I'm keeping calories around the 500's and will workout tonight. We shall see how tomorrow goes. I can't believe it's only 4 days until surgery.

Your welcome, glad I can share my journey. Congrats on your upcoming banding!!! I was the same way scared and excited and then just scared and after talking to my dr again I'm excited. The diet is tuff especially if it is liquid, but it's so worth the weight loss and being prepared for surgery. Thanks for the words of encouragement. Please keep me posted on how your journey goes.

I hear you about only working out 10 mins. I least try to get 10 mins on the treadmill. The calories that we are taking in are are not enough to workout to much. Since my one hour walk I haven't lost any weight, it's like my body went into starvation mood. Thanks for the words of encouragement, and we so got this! Let me know how your surgery goes and I will be posting about mine

Congrats!!! I'm so happy for you. Looks like we are still having our surgeries on the same day.

I'm from California born and raised, but I'm currently in Kansas. My husband is in the military so we were stationed in Washington and now Kansas. We will be going back to California in July since my husband requested orders to go there. My husband is also from California. I know all about the crime there, it's horrible. My husbands brother was shot and killed almost a year ago on April 28th in Whittier. Every where is crime we just have to protect our children and teach them all that we can to prepare them for life in this crazy world.

My prayers are with you! Best of luck girl! No Matter what you are still awesome for trying!!!

So my day today was pretty much like a zombies..lol... I found myself day dreaming off about nothing and so confused. I went to the doctors today for my pre op appt. So glad I didn't have to drive. That walk yesterday with low calories made me feel shaky and line crap today. I'm just glad I had a little bit of mental focus left in me to ask all my questions I wanted to ask my dr. He laughed when I asked him if I could go on roller coasters with the band after I lose weight...lol... It was a yes though...YAY!!! Magic Mountain here I come in a year or two!!! I also felt better about talking to him about my anxiety and panic I'm having about my surgery getting closer. I made it clear to him that he better give me something to calm me down as soon as I get to the hospital or I'm walking out and reassured me that they will give me something to relax right away. So today I didn't lose any weight, but I do think I gained muscle from my walk/hike. I got a little more calories in today so hopefully I feel better tomorrow. I do have a headache right. I'm going to take some Tylenol and call it a night. Good night to all my bandster buddies

I usual get about 400-500 something calories, but I do think I am taking in to little calories, I just really like when I get on that scale the next day and I have lost weight. I think the main thing is just that you get enough Protein in. Just don't ever try walking a one hour trail and only taking in 400 something calories, because I paid for that today by feeling shaky and just like a zombie. It's like someone shut the light out in my brain today!!! Lol... I like broth at night it seems to help me feel better sometimes. Thanks for the words of encouragement, you keep up the good work to. Keep in touch and let me know how your doing. I can never have enough bandster buddies. It's what keeps me sane

I am scared crazy. I already have anxiety and panic attacks. I told my dr he better have some medicine ready to calm me down when I get to the hospital or I'm walking out. I have ha 7 surgeries before so I don't know why I'm all freaked out about this one. I guess it because it is a big change and the foreign object part is weird. I do worry about the band failing me, but I also know if I do my part then I know I can do this. It's just one step at a time for me.

I hope everything goes good for you. You deserve it!

I hope everything goes good for you. You deserve it!

I forgot to post about my day on wed. I woke up and weighed myself and was so surprised that I lost 2 pounds.YAY!!! I'm now 262 and that 8 pounds in 7 days. It made going to bed with hunger pains worth it. I took a nap again since I still feel drained. When my husband got off work he asked me if I wanted to go on a walk on this trail that I have been wanting to walk so I said yes even though I felt drained. The walk was nice and 1 hour long. By the end of the walk I felt completely empty. I think I should have took in more calories. My head is pounding right now. I see the dr at 2:15pm and I will see how that goes.
