i agree fitted clothes are the way to go. i myself dont like to wear baggy clothes because i think they make you look bigger then wut you are. i usually stick to fitted jeans. Shirts depend on what kind it is if its a flowy top like a baby doll thats fine but nothing baggy, i usually leave those for working out and sleeping in. :wink_smile:

i have to say i went off a little too, (i thought it was only me) i dont have my first fill until august 1st and i can eat anything which is making it really hard for me to keep on track. after reading everyones posts i am making it my job to get back on track... just wanted to say that

ive read a lot about people having to bandage up their incisions but i dont have that my doctor glued mine i was wondering if anyone else had this done? it looks like crazy glue and its supposed to heal better so has anyone had it done this way?

for the past few days i had been starving... today i started somewhere inbetween mushies and full liquids. i scooped humus into a measuring cup and the whole day i ate less then 1 cup. i have felt full all day and couldnt eat anymore. but do make sure that you get your water in, last night i felt like my legs were paralized and numb i couldnt sleep all night when i told the nurse today she asked me if i was drinking at least 3 bottles of water a day (and im not) and she very seriously told me that it is very important that i get it in and that it could lead to problems if i dont. so make sure u do that lol im still trying to drink all this water

Hi Has anyone been told that there is a very high risk of pregancy soon after this surgery???? This is what my doctor's nurse told me today. If this is true - how long am I at a high risk????? Thanks:confused2:

thanks for answering... yeah she really scared me b/c we were in a group class and then she pin pointed me out i was like ummmmmm especially bc my grandma was sitting right next to me lol so i didnt want to ask her why but thanks for ur help

i lost 15 lbs on the pre op diet and lost 8lbs so far after surgery totaling 23 lbs!!!!!:thumbup:i also hit the 100's this morning 199 to be exact but it made my day i havent weighed this much since 11th grade and that was 5 years ago already good luck to everyone and keep on losing!! fast and slow it doesnt matter as long as its comming off

thanks for all your responses

thanks i thought i was the only one lol

i feel like such a baby compared to all of you lol i seriously cant handle pain at all!!! i mean its not bad its just really uncomfortable i wake up in the middle of the night a lot too i just cant wait for this part to be over. im down 3 lbs since tuesday though so i should complain.

i got out of the hospital yesterday my stomach is still in a lot of pain where they made the insisions (sp?) im also having some back pain ive been doing a lot of walking though. my stomach has also been making a lot of noises i dont know if its gas or hunger but i have absolutly no desire to eat anything i have to force myself and still dont eat a lot i think its also because im scared ill throw up or something since i have also been very nauseaus.

well tommorrow's the big day! i have to be at the hospital by 6:15am it hasent hit me until just now im starting to get very nervous well wish me luck lol

yes its already sunday!!! tommorrow i can only have one optifast for breakfast then its clear liquids for the rest of the day and nothing past midnight. i also have to take laxitives.... does/did anyone else? i have to be at the hospital at 6:15am so ill deffinetly be going to sleep early tommorrow.... im so excited and yet a little nervous at the same time not because of getting banded but surgery in general...ill be fine though hope everyone has a great memorial day weekend!!!!!!

globally yours we have the same date lol

well today i had my last bar not it is completly liquids like yours allison.. except no popsicles anyway i did my pst and signed the consent form so im all done just waiting til tuesday now. im kind of aggravated though because i have been so good but i only lost 1 lb this week whereas last week i lost 10 i know i shouldnt be complaining everyone said i lost so much the first week but its just fustrating. im going to start exercising now maybe it will help. o yeah on the bright side the assistant that does the fills for my doctor is really hot so ill be looking foward to seeing him lol good luck to everyone thats getting banded this week!!!!

hey guys sounds like everyones doing great... tommorrow i have pst then have to go sign consent with my doctor its getting so close this time next tuesday ill be banded im so excited and really cant wait. im getiting sick of this diet i can only have 4 8oz shakes and one bar plus jello and chicken broth. the jello im sick of already. i usually just have 3 shakes the bar and a can of chicken broth... i try to go to sleep early so i dont think about food. yesterday my friend got engaged there was food every which way you turned but i didnt cheat even though they had my all time favorite potato pizza.It looked so good and i wanted it so ad but i just couldnt do it. ive been on this diet for 13 days and have shocked myself because i always cheat when im on a diet but not this time. i want this really bad and im sticking to it because some people dont think ill be able to which is driving me even more to succeed. But yeah i just wanted to let that out thanks for listening
