Hi Scully,
When I went for my orientation for lap band, I was 313. It has been well for me-I had the surgery on December 28, 2007, and as of today, I am 186 lbs, so -127 lbs. I really haven't exercised whatsoever. I started at a size 28 (very tight) and now in a 14. I know that I need to start exercising, especially to get rid of the excess skin, but I hate it so much! Ha!
The best advice I can give is not to get caught up in the scale. I was really confident before surgery-I am a Christian and was really happy with who I was. I had never in my life 'compared' myself to other women or anything, until now. Now, I will stand in the mirror and critique little things about my body that are crazy, that I would have never noticed before (example-how your nose is kinda pointed, or you have a mole on your chin, etc.) It is hard not to constantly think about it and dwell on it. I try to think about how I feel and not look.
Good luck to you! Please email me if you need any support! Tracey

Heather we are here for you. my surgery is nov 7th and i am right in the middle of my liquid diet. I am doing "no sugar added" carnation instant breakfast. you mix it with skim milk. it is not that bad. I also am making little ice cubes out of crystal light. that really helps when i am watching tv. gives me something to chew on... call your surgeon. and hang in there -
Hi every one. My name is Tina and I live in RI. I am 316 lbs, 28 years old and sick of being the fat girl!!! I am currently in the middle of my three week liquid diet prep and can't wait till nov 7th, the day my life will change. I don't think I have ever been so excited about having surgery before. I am hoping that this web site will help me in my goals. thanks jini.....:biggrin:
