Hi PVbrownsugar, When I read your posting it was like I was reading my own narrative. I was banded on June 5 of this year and I've only loss about 25 lbs since the fast I had to do a week before surgery. I got a 3cc fill the first time and lost 3 lbs over the next month. Then when I went to the dr. this week for my second fill he found only 1 cc in the band. That's why I can eat like normal big servings of food. I said the same thing as you.....I know I didn't go thru all of this for nothing or even for 3 lbs in a whole month. He gave me 2 cc this week and I feel a little more restriction....I think. Take Care. We can do all things thru Christ who strengthens us. I'm with you on that word. I'm not even registered on here I just come on to read what people are going thru. I just had to let u know that u are not alone. Peace. karenander@comcast.net

Nervous about the PreOp Diet and Tried the protein drink
kanderson1 commented on mjsprague1017's blog entry in Blog 36751
Hi Everyone. I've never blogged on a computer before but here it goes....my date to be banded is June 5 so this is my last weekend to eat as well. I've eaten like a pig and I know i shouldnt have but this is it. Food is my best friend and it's time to say goodbye. I will start a pre op liquid fast on 5/28 which is tomorrow. I will need alot of stength and prayers to get me through. I am 285 pounds and have a goal weight of 140. My real goal is to be healthier and to have enough energy to go outside and play with my 7 year old son. Energy enough to come home from work and feel like taking him to the park to play instead of racing to the couch because a normal work day now exhausts me. Anyway, thanks for listening. -
I am in the process of completing nutritional and behavior modification counseling sessions in preparation for the lap band procedure. I will not even get a date until I finish the last session which is scheduled for 3/24/08. I am so anxious and excited to get it done and to gain a new lease on life. I am sick and tired of being so heavy at 286 lbs. Wow....that is hard to admit! Feeling some anxiety about not doing everything correctly after surgery, i.e. chewing a piece of food 30 times is something that I've never done being the fast eater that I am. I really need to practice that! One question that I have for anyone who has had the procedure already....How fast are you losing? Is it really about 1-2 lbs per week. Seems kind of slow.
