Hi! Omg i thought it was just me, I've been super bitchy! I'm on day 10 of pre-op diet...been doing good except for the super short fuse!! Hang in there, it will be worth it.

thanks everyone for the great advice! I guess I still have a little more research to do before I have my pre-op appointment I really appreciate this community! you guys rock! <3

Hello everyone I have been feeling a little torn & confused, I have done all this research on lapband and I chose that in the beginning. I've been hearing a lot of good stuff about GBS I just want to get input on how your decision was made, and did you consider other options besides the lapband? My husband isn't too crazy about me having GBS, but he said he supports whatever decision I make. Can someone please help & give me some advice! I'm so torn Thanks again everyone

thanks everyone that really means a lot to me, i ended up working out for an hour to feel better =D

Thank you that really helps a lot

Hello Everyone! I have 12lbs to loose before my surgery.... I still don't have a date but I'm hoping mid-September. So, I've been doing pretty good, I've already lost 7lbs in less than a week, I've been working out every day and feel good... I had a late brunch. I ate 2 egg whites & a couple slices of avocado. I feel so bad for eating that idk why! Normally I've been having my protein shake in the am and having 3oz of grilled chicken breast & a salad. I haven't cheated at all I've been super strict on myself. Has anyone felt like this before? Thanks

I have been drinking the premier protein shakes in chocolate, 30gm of protein, only 160 calories they are yummy and fill you up

You look fantastic!!!!

THANK YOU!!! GOSH I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY YOU LADIES ARE SO AWESOME :wub: !!!

Very well said! I agree 1000%

thanks ladies I do appreciate all the advice! I am willing to give it my all, and work very hard to achieve my goal... Im going shopping for a new surgeon tomorrow My man is telling me to stand my ground & get what I want, not what she wants me to get.... Im at 245 lbs right now My goal would be to get to 135-140

Hello Everyone, So today I had my first consultation & I am feeling very discouraged....I mentioned to the Doctor that I was interested in getting the Lap band instead of the sleeve or GBP, I did not feel much support from the doctor about my decision I feel like she just gave negative feedback about the Lap band, and was saying how the Lap band did not have a huge success rate ... Has anyone experienced anything like this & if so what is your suggestion. Thanks guys

thanks again everyone! I'm so excited about getting the Lap Band, I have my first consultation this Tuesday! I really appreciate everyone on here giving great advice I'm very happy I found this community, since I am going to be a "secret bander" my man is the only one who knows, I don't have a family that is very supportive of WLS. Thank you everyone

thanks for all the great advice ladies I am ready for a lifestyle change, and of course ditching my beer is huge factor on why I am ready. I am willing to do whatever it takes for me to be successful in this journey. I do not plan on drinking beer once I get my Lap band, even though I love it so much, I know it's time to part ways with it Im sure the occasional glass of wine will be ok once I have surgery Im very excited & looking forward to my new life journey

I was wondering if anyone out there knew if that affects if you can get the Lap Band, I like to drink, by all means I'm not an alcoholic. I do enjoy drinking beer. I'm just concerned about not being able to get the lap band because of drinking.... thanks everyone
