I have only been banded for a week and I'm a little nervous because I keep getting this pain under my left breast and ribs I guess that feels almost like a cramp like I just ran a marathon. I don't know what it is. Has anyone else had it? should I be worried about it?

I have a cat just like that looks exactly the same and her name is lily too

Hey there. I was also banded on August 16th and It was also by doctor Yau in Toronto. I'm doing well. I have lost 14.5 pounds since starting the pre-op diet and 4.5 since the surgery. I am going to the Toronto support meeting tonight and I'm always nervous because I'm quite shy but I think it will be good for me to get my questions answered.

I am also 4 days out and I DEFINATLY have that cotton mouth thing going on. I thought it was the propel water I'm drinking maybe some aspartame or something in it. But now I know it might be a symptom a lot of people have

So today is my surgery at noon. I'm kind of nervous but I think it will be alright. I'm also anxcious and just want to finally wake up all grogy and have it over with. Anyways I'll post how it goes.

I thought about this too and when food commercials come on the tv I am still thinking oh Ill never have that satisfaction of just eating that WHOLE THING. But the more I think about it and remember all my thin friends in my mind the more I think I'm the only one who finishes the plate and then can still go home and have a snack if I wanted to. And when everyone is like OH GOD SOOOO FULL im the one thats thinking "really? I feel fine. You didnt even eat all of yours" So really. Who is the normal eater. Me now or me after I get this band. Which is today by the way. YAY FOR TODAY. (sorta nervous)

Today August 16th is my day. I hope everyone else going in today has no problems and is as happy as ever.

I had to go off my birthcontrol for the surgery and my period of course started today and my surgery is just on thursday just 2 days away. SO ill definatly still be bleeding then... Do they let you wear underwear in surgery??? What do I do???

So i'm on a pre-op diet of cottage cheese, yogurt, skim milk and Water. I am feeling really really run down and tired. I was thinking of having a stir fry for dinner tonight just because I'm so tired but would that mean my liver wont be small enough???

One of my ex best friends and I saw a large woman walking holding hands with a guy. I had just started dating my current boyfriend and my best friend had been single for years (still is) She goes "its not fair that fat girls get boyfriends, they don't even try to look good and somehow guys still like them....no offense to you." My earliest memory of thinking I may be fatter then the other kids is when I was in 6th grade and someone had heard of plastic surgery and was asking all the kids what they would get, boobs, nose job blah blah blah and he said to me what would you get and i said nothing I dont want to get cut up (still kind of nervous for my surgery haha) and he said "REALLY?? NOT EVEN LIPOSUCTION?" that was the day I went on my first diet.

SHe probably said that beacuse you didnt look 200 pounds. People never believe I weigh as much as I do because I carry it alot in my breasts

So this is my first journal entree. I think its a good day to make one. My surgery is on Thursday at noon. Today is Tuesday at 11:40 so its about 48 hours away. Everything happened pretty fast for me. I only went for my consultation last Friday and they had a cancellation so in I went. I have been on my horrible pre-op diet for 4 days now. I now hate yogurt. But I eat it cause i'm hungry and I always hated cottage cheese but i eat only about a tablespoon with every meal because I think I probably need the protein. I am actually excited to start the liquid diet because it means I will get a mix of juice and consume soup so I get the sweet and the savory instead of just berry flavored everything. Honestly right now my skim milk is the closest thing I have to something salty or not tasting of berries. I have lost 12 pounds in 5 days so I guess this diet is working. Everyone makes jokes like screw the band stick to yogurt. But I WILL DIE if i do that. My only saving grace is that tomorrow is the last yogurt day.

It was the photographs. The ones of me with my skinny boyfriend who loves me and thinks my beautiful in spite of the fat and the ones of me next to my skinny friends who all wear the nice clothes and never had any trouble finding a boyfriend. It was those photos that made me think...I don't want to be the big blob on everyones facebook.

I'm 21 years old and I am getting banded on Thursday. I haven't told any of my friends and I haven't decided if I will. I have told my boyfriend and my parents and they are all very supportive. It was actually my mothers idea in the beginning. I am afraid my friends will judge me and think I "took the easy way out" because they don't understand and I am thinking for now it would be better just to keep it to myself.

My diet sucks in my opinion haha Its just skim milk yogurt and cottage cheese and at least 1.5 liters of Water. I would kill for something that didn't taste like berries haha
