I don't have prime u have standard . I wanted to go to a dr. That specialized in this area verses a general surgeon provided by the military. It took a month to hear back if I was approved for surgery.

Banded 6/24/13 Total loss 21lbs

So two days ago I was very upset and I thank with all the crying and emotional stress I made myself sick. I vomited and I'm only 2 1/2 weeks post op. I called my dr an was put back on to clears liquids for 24 hours and now I can't drink much if anything took my vitamins and an sipping on water but that's it I made a shake an spit it out I nearly vomited again just the smell of it grossed me out and now on clears again for 48 hours. My says stress isn't helping me . It's times like these I wish my mom

Was near.

Im under 200lbs... I am so freaking excited.. ill walk an extra half mile today..

I hate the fact I have no support from my husband. I was never super large but I am heavy. Having kids back to back take a toll on your body an then being a working mom and turned into a stay at home mom does as well. I've tried all diets and all exercise videos and never lost more than 5 pounds only to gain it all back and more. I never even thought I could get weight loss surgery and my dr. Wanted me to see for my self if it was something I would want to do. I went Thur 9 months of hard work to get surgery not for anyone but myself in two weeks I've lost 20 lbs and my husband tells me I took the easy way because I'm too lazy. Why is it the ones you love are the ones that hurt you the most.

Well if he keeps this up he will be talking to his self cause ill leave. I was raised better than to out down anyone and in over being made fun of.

you look amazing..

Very I'm so thrilled!

I'm one week out and it'll get better I felt just the same but you do need to at least drink water . All thou walking hurts if u can get up an pace the room for at least 5 minutes a few times a day the next day u will be even better. Good luck

Thank you everyone! I'm getting help tomorrow.

Day 6 post op- today my husband had to go back to work.. I left with 3 kids.. 2 under the age of three. I wasnt ready and i knew i wouldnt be.. i have the shakes and im physically so tired the time cant move fast enough for him to be home. felt good moving more but i feel as over did it and hurt and shake all over.. im upset that no one listened to me as i wasnt ready to be alone.. is it bed time yet..

im on nothing but protein shakes i drink about 3-4 a day. I have very out going kids.. and they suck the life out of me even before surgery..

Start weight 219 Surgery weight 212 Five days after surgery 202! I'm 4'11" so happy

Omelette !! Coffee, protein shakes, cup if fruit, yogurt!

Day 4 and I used these the so foam up but if I let it set for a few minutes it all goes down . They aren't miracle drinks you do still get a little whey taste but these are by far the best ones I've had.

I was banded Monday! Today is much better than yesterday. My port area is supper tender and sore no shoulder or gas pain just the sore port pain.. Hope your feeling well.

I'm on the second day home holding a pillow to support the belly makes a world of difference for me I too feel like my tummy is going to fall out. Today is way easier than yesterday.

i came home yesterday was in alot of pain but only where my port is located.. it was hell.. today i woke up feeling way better super sore still and bloated.. not hungry but i am sipping away. moving alot more today so tomorrow can be even better...

I'm getting ready for my journey to the hospital .. Today is the day! Excited and nervous but so ready for a new start in life. I'm doing this for me and my kids. Wish me lucky..

One hour left then I get to go to sleep for a bit. Ill stay over night dr. Orders for every patient then home tomorrow.

Ill have surgery tomorrow at 1210 .. Good luck to you..

Hungry

It'll be an off and on battle with your bowls but after the third day I'm no longer as gingery good luck . 3 more days for me
