Mrs. Ski

I'm in Lockport and my support group through my surgeons office is downtown at 6 on Fridays. No way am I going downtown on a Friday night:) I would love to be part of a support group. I had my surgery April 25,2014.

45 pound weight loss includes the three week liquid preop diet. I started on April 5,2014.

I'm going for my third fill this Friday and had surgery on April 25,2014. I am down 45 pounds. I have been eating lo-carb since my surgery but in the last two days i started eating more protein than anything. I am hungry all the time so I am hoping that this next fill will bring me closer to the green zone. I am at 5cc's.

Me too

I met husband on big beautiful people meet.com 5 years ago. Generally You go through a lot of duds before you get a stud:). There are all types of people not just chubby chasers. Just be truthful in your profile about your weight loss journey. Too bad there is not a online dating website for banders and other WLS folks. Good luck to you

I am truly excited about starting today. I already have been stocking my pantry shelf with my "supplies". I generally don't eat first thing in the morning but my mind is playing tricks on me and of course I woke up feeling like I could really put a buffet out if business right now,lol. Time to go and drink my breakfast. Can't wait till April 25th:)

Hi Martha. No shakes yet. Just jello. Soup and tea right now. Thank you for the encouragement

Thank you Chrissy. Today is a better day. Just resting and taking care of myself.

Actually today is my surgery 3 weeks preop under my belt. The surgery is scheduled for 12:30

Thank you Martha

Wow. What an amazing transformation. Thanks for sharing.

I quickly did forgive myself. I have lost 26 pounds so far on my preop so I am not guilty at all. I am only feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. Tomorrow is the start of my new future and I can't wait

Woo Hoo congrats

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. Today I got very excited I actually had egg flower soup while on a business lunch. But now I'm feeling very guilty because I did not strain it.

Thanks Mikee57:)

I'm at the halfway point of my 3 week preop. Unfortunately I can't weigh myself because my scale won't work because I weigh to much right now. I can tell in my clothes that I am definitely loosing something. I have 10 more days until my surgery and I am anxious for that day to arrive. I am extremely moody at this point. I can't wait until I start counseling on May 5 th.

Just know that for every one negative attitude you will encounter , you will have 10 positive people who have been there, done that and still doing it. You will get the support you need from your Lapbander family I am not telling anyone that be negative about my journey and my choice. Good luck to you

Has anyone else had any experiences with Dr Elli or a Dayone. Anyone else have a surgery scheduled around the same date there? I see they have several locations and i was wondering if they do fills at there other locations.

I am currently on day three of my preop liquid diet It seems like every time I drink a protein shake (3 times a day) no matter from which distributor I still get a really nasty headache afterwards. Is this is happening to anybody else?

Thanks for all the replies. what I've been drinking are Nectar by Syntrax as well an Unjury and I see that the Syntrax Nectar has sucralose. As far as withdrawals go, I'm not a coffee, caffeine, or soda drinker. And I have been on the low-carb high-protein diet at least 10 times in the past but I've never experienced a headache along with it. I'm just wondering is there some kind of a reaction I'm having. Oh well, we are all in this together. I'm on day 4 preop and I'll get through it. nothing a little Tylenol won't help:) thanks everybody

April 25th is my surgery date. I am more anxious than nervous. My first day of only liquids started yesterday and was extremely challenging because I did not feel full.

I am scheduled for April 25th. Sooooooo Excited:)
