Tommorrow is my final nutrition appt and I am supposed to be weighed. I'm dreading this because i didnt loose any weight but yet gained! About three weeks ago I went to Florida with my hubby and the babies and brought up that I'm going to get my health back and get the lapband. Their comments werent very encouraging at all. They didnt help me with the whole food thing but if anything egged me on to eat like shit. I didnt have any fast food believe it or not but yet ate a ton of sweets and drank about 398698632 pepsi's!!!!:scared2: I did go for walks if it counts? lol ughh But when I got home I came right on here for some support last week and decided I want to do this for me! I know I can't do it on my own and so for the last 4days I've been doing mainly Protein shakes. My weighin is tomorrow afternoon and my scale keeps giving me like 5 different weights?!?! I was supposed to loose 5lbs orginally, but while in Fl gained 3 or so lbs on top of that. I guess I've lost the threelbs because I'm back at the same weight as I was for my last weigh in...highly doubt I can loose 5lbs in a day?! Sighs its my fault, a part of me is just thinking about rescheduling this appt for next week and showing alil more dedication. I'm very disappionted in myself right now.:cursing:

Damn scale is now saying im 238 when earlier it said 227?!?! wth

Hello everyone!! I am not yet banded and not sure as to when I will be but I'm hoping by late dec early Jan. I did have one major question.. ANY REGRETS? If so why.... I'm just trying to get all my information in order before I make this life changing chocie you know. I feel pretty confident in wanting to get because of the obvious in needing it however I just wanna hear your own exp. with getting it done. One other question, before you were banded did you feel aniexty about the food issues? Like not being able to eat certain things anymore...

Hi, welcome im in san diego too!! where do u live?

I was wondering if anyone else had to bring their kids with them to the Nutrition class? My husband can't get off tomorrow and tommorow is the only day I'll be able to go for this month! Their babies,think it will matter?Last mintue so I'm not able to call until the morning and was just wondering what you guys thought. I will introduce myself at another time, I am new to the site and have some other questions and concerns that I would like to share~ Thanks:smile2:

Hello, I thought that I'd finally write and introduce myself. My name is BrieAnna and im 26 and as you know live in SD. I've been married for almost 6 yrs now and back in march just had beauitful TWIN girls. Life has been a whirlwind these last 5 years in trying to get pregnant and just all the stress of it.I guess thats mainly where all my weight came from. I was never really a BIG person until all the issues started to come out with my pcos(polycystic ovarian syndrome). When I first meet my husband I was about 150-160 and felt good and confident at that weight. However got into the flow of not excersing enough and then the five yrs on fertility medicine and stress my weight hiked up to 220 before I knew it. I then got pregnant and gained 35lbs with the twins and suprisenly lost all of it while bf'ing within 2months and then gained 10 back which isnt too bad I guess. I had hoped that things would cure itself persay with the pcos after the babies and it seems as though it hasnt.:eek: So this is my journey now to become healthy enough to cure my health issues and be to self-confident,sexy in my own way,in shape and happy with my body overall. I'm ready to make this LIFE STYLE change! I know its not going to be easy but I know in the end I'll achieve what I've been waiting for, for so long now. :eek: ****I have a huge checklist I have to do for the Navy in order to get my surg. date and thankfully I only have three things left to do! Two more psch appts(one today) and my first appt with the nutrionist is next thurs. So thats where I'm at with all this pre-op stuff~

Hello and welcome! Isnt this site great? I too am in the process of getting banded!When who knows?! lol As for smoking yes I did but only for like 3months,however my surg is recommanding me to wait THREE damn months before I can even get the surgery so you may wanna try and stop now if you can... As for the fills its every 3months for the first yr and then at 18months they have you come back and see where your at,by 18months you should be somewhere near your goal weight from what I understand. As for the last question I'm not sure...sorry! I too am alittle worried with the thought of "chnage" but like you said its exciting!

I just had this conversation yesterday! I was told I would have to wait two yrs...however I have 7month old twins so im in no hurry lol

I just wanted to say I am in the same boat! I'm very nervous and yet so excited!! I have so many concerns and yet I keep asking myself if their more excuses! I guess the fear of the unknown. But like you I know I need help! Anyways im excited for you,GL

I'm not yet banded but I felt that I had to read this! I'm very sorry you are having to go through all of this. I think I would be scared to go on after the baby as well. Maybe just see how you feel afterwords you know. As for the baby s/he will be ok just have faith hun, I know its scary. I ended up going preterm at 32wks and had my twins at 34wks. They were tinyyyy,however strong lil girls. 3lbs 15oz and 3lbs 8oz and thankfully only had to spend a month in the NICU as grower/feeders other than that perfectly healthy. I hope you can find some comfort in that, for the lapband stuff i dont know im sorry. I'll pray for you~ Get well soon!!
