I'm really sticking to what I have to do. This feels great, I can't wait to see how I will transform. It's been a long time since I felt good about myself and I hope this will make me motivated to pursue my long term goals. It's funny how some people are born with great genes like my beautiful sister, she is tall, thin and can eat anything she wants. She encourages me and everyone in the family always talks about how beautiful I am but I hate being fat. I hate being short, I hated being me and I did a lot of things to hide how unhappy I was. I am growing, learning and learning to love me inside and outside. I love me.:rofl::cheer2::scared:

LOL, Soaf, I did not lose any weight until the 2 days before my surgery. I have this stubborn body. I lost 3 lbs the day of the surgery at the weigh in before they wheeled me in. Don't worry, you did better than me. Congrats on the 5 lbs!

Sorry for the late response, yes, my doctor told me to follow a liquid diet for 2 weeks, it was so hard, every day towards my date I would say, "ok tomorrow for sure, I didn't really follow it til tuesday..I didn't eat anything, I sipped Water, broth and ate tilapia steamed with a half cup of mushroom Soup everytime I got hungry. I was told not to eat or drink anything after midnight the day of the surgery. It worked out ok. Have you been banded already?

Congrats on being banded, 4 cashews isn't that bad, I ate a small salad. I was banded last Thursday the 12th, it feels good.

Don't be scared, I read some posts where some were saying they didn't have a liquid diet to be banded. I didn't follow it thoroughly either, the last 2 days I did. Everything worked out fine, maybe you should tell your doctor. :ranger:

Thank you! I can't wait to see how much I am going to transform. How is everyone doing?

2 days after being banded, I am a little sore but it was worth it. I've lost 5 lbs in 3 days being on liquids and I feel great! I can't wait until I start really seeing the benefits, I have some great goals that I want to succeed at. I will stick to whatever it is I need to do to get my weight managed. :clap2:I apreciate me, I love me, after my divorce I thought life was over but I now realize it's just beginning.:scared:

I know that feeling, I was banded this past Thursday 7/12/07 and I am still sore but it was worth it. I was scared too but I am more scared of dying and not seeing my children grow up to be productive adults.
