I have B&BS and I am with true results. So you should be fine.

I plan to use my band for portion control and to stop eating before I'm full. Meanwhile I want to use the knowledge that I was giving from several nutritionist and try to eat three meals and to small snacks. And when I say meals I'm supposed to eat a half a cup so I'm probably going to only eat a third a cup. And my snack is going to consist of some type of protein whether it's the serving of cheese, yogurt or protein bar. That way I don't go over my calories but I do keep my metabolism boosted. I'm going to see if that works for me and if it doesn't then I will try something else.

Hi guys my surgery day is tomorrow Aug 5. I'm so glad to start this journey. I have been struggling with my weight for about 4 years now. I have tried Weight Watchers, Atkins fad diets like soup and cabbage diet. And it seems like none of those worked. I used to do a workout call supreme 90 whenever I was getting extra pounds and it will come off and one day that stopped working. I did find out that I had deficiencies in D and iron. Although my thyroid test was fluctuate my doctor determine that I did not have a thyroid problem. Meanwhile the pound adding up. Although I do not have diabetes or high blood pressure or anything like that, I do have bad back and knee problems. Me and my husband have been trying to have a baby for two and a half years, got pregnant once but it was a tubal pregnancy and that was about 2 years and 70 pounds ago. I believed I packed on the pounds because I quit smoking I have not smoked a cigarette in over 4 years. With this weight loss journey I'm hoping to get my life back being able to move around better without pain in my knees on my back and also I'm hoping to get pregnant. And when I'm pregnant I don't want to have to worry about my back on my knees. So I'm hoping that it is God's will that I have another baby and although I know you cannot rush God I really do hope its before I turn 40 and I'm 35 now. I do have two girls already from a previous marriage. They are 13 and 17. My husband now does not have any kids and I would really like to give him at least one. So that's my story and tomorrow starts a new chapter in my journey. I wish everyone the best of luck and I'm hoping that other people will respond so that we can all support each other no matter what are weight loss reasons are for.

Thanks misslady102

I'm nervous only cause of the stories I've heard about the port sticking out or being painful.

I have not told many people either. Its just hard because I already feel a certain kind of way being overweight and I don't need extra stress of people judging me. Only my husband in a few of my close family members know

I get banded Aug 5th and I'm so ready. I just starting to learn to navigate the site. Is there away to follow someone or to form a group?

@@LessOfMe0503 I get banded on Aug 5. I'm excited and never doubted my decision until I started reading some of the posts on this site. I have noticed that a lot of people are saying that they are being revised to the sleeve due to complications and there's not enough people on here to reassure the newcomers that the band is as wonderful as we felt when we chose it. I'm so glad to find people that are satisfied with the band that I can ask questions and express my concerns and get feedback that is supportive and not coming from a negative outlook.

Would you mind sharing the list of Vitamins that your doctor who gave you?

Meal replacements and protein shakes whether it's pre-made or powder has always been nasty for me. That is why things like Slim Fast and Akins never works for me. I'm just one of those crazy people they cannot eat something that is not palatable. But I did find a shake that I can stomach for my pre op diet. It is not chalky like other shakes and the after taste is really not bad. However, the downside is it's only 10 grams of protein instead of 15, and it's an Aldi store brand called fit & active. I don't know where you are so I don't know if you have that store. Unjury is another one that I was introduced to on this website that I'm going to try. You buy it online and it is very affordable and you can get a sample Start Kit for $22 plus shipping and then you can figure out which flavors you like.
