lol Thankzz.. yeah im starting to notice the loose skin underneath my arms.. omg and my rolls in the back lol... but i dont even know my jean size anymore... i LOVE TO SHOP... like when i go to like target to go buy like a dvd or cd i go st8 to the clothes... like i just get so mad cause i dont want to buy any clothes when im still loosin weight.... so i haven't bought clothes since Sept(back to school time) Oh yeah i went grocery schopping with my mom today and i came across the aisle with all the organic food... it just made me think that i might be becoming a veggie head lol... but the only meat i would eat is chicken... i wonder if thats normal... since like i really have to watch what i eat... idk just was thinking about it lol but yeah another post.

I GOT MY FIRST FILL PPL!!!! it feels so WIERD lol but it didn't hurt so yeah so its been a month since my surgery(10/08/09)and i lost a total of 37 pounds.... so happy... yeah so im starting to get like the loose skin :tongue_smilie: but im still happy... so yeah i had pasta last night... i had no problem with it... well i had elbows and sauce... but not sprahgetti<(sorry for the spelling lol)... i also bought some chicken nuggets.. lol probally can only eat like 2 lol... but yeah the doc told me to start with pasta and then work my way up to bread. so im probally not going to try any bread for another 2-4 weeks. just stick to the pasta. i might even try the tortilla(flat bread) first and see how that goes down... but yeah :smile:

yeah like the last couple of days... i was like i dont even want this lap band no more... so like i talked to mom and grandma about it and my grandmother looked at me like i was an idiot... like i kind of get depressed sometimes because like i cant like eat what i want to eat not only that but just i get so lazy... like im also behind in school... (WORD OF ADVICE PPL try and get the lapband while your not in school!) but yeah omg hopefully they will let me eat chicken nuggets soon... im probally just going to eat them after my 5th or 6th week... but like usually all i've eaten is eggs,chicken,and pineapple< it gets boring.. i dont eat yogurt or cottage cheese.... and i also want pizzzaaaa!!!!!! lol but yeah...

yeah thats how i felt like.. the thing that is killing me is i cant eat bread or pasta... like no more breaded chicken nuggets lol nothing but i just hit my fourth week after having the surgery(Oct 8th)... like i get so mad sometimes.. like last night my mom made ziti for the whole family... and i could not have one bite of it.... i feel bad for you guys that have the liquid diet before the surgery... i just made sure i didnt eat any fattie foods 3 days before. but yeah its gonna be hard right after sugery.. i had to stay over night just to make sure everything was good... but your gonna feel really lazy and tired... but the day you get home your gonna have to start moving... the pain on the other hand was here and there... like im not a big fan of medicine like i hate it so maybe thats the reason but when i did take it the pain went away for like 4-6 hours depending on how much i took 1-2teaspoons... which is good... but you guys are going to be fine!!! just stay FOCUS! i have my second post op 2morrow so i will write you guys again...

Yeah i was just wondering like i went to my doc.(surgeon doc) appointment yesterday... and funny thing is i had surgery on 10/08/2009 and had a docs appointment on 10/13/2009<for a checkup.. and i weighed the same amount as i did yesterday.. i was highly confused!!! but yeah so how much did you guys loose your first 2 weeks... either way im happy... i just gonna start excerising more and now im able to go to the gym since everything is closed!...

yeah i lost 25 pounds in post-op.... and i decided 2 buy a scale but i returned it for the simple fact that i kept weighing myself every 2 seconds. So i only get to weigh myself at the doctor's office. im kind of surprised that you guys were on a pre op liquid diet. i couldn't do it.. my last 3 days before surgery i just ate subway tunafish subs. The thing that i really hate is that i cant eat bread! like that is gonna kill me... even if he lets me have it like once a week i will be happy... but nooooo NO BREAD! but idc i know ima eat some potatoes lol... but yeah

Well Well Well... i was banded on 10/08/2009... my surgery was scheduled for 6:35AM i was trying to be there 15 minutes early but i got there right on time lol... my mother and i went to the pre-op room , the nurse asked me the last minute questions( chance of being pregnant? Those types of questions) This was my first time having surgery so of course i was nervous, the docs could tell i was... i was wheeled into the surgery room then told to get on to the the surgery table... it was little but i got up there with no problem... the nurses and doctors already in there where getting ready... i just remember the kool funny guy Tim and his assistant Becky... very nice people... then i remember them putting a mask on me and that was it...lol then they kept telling me to wake up wake up... then i remember seeing my mom.. after that i dont remember anything lol... PAIN wise i only had it when i moved but it didnt hurt hurt but it was just wasnt comfortable... i stayed over night and got out yesterday(10/09/2009) in the evening time.. i have these moments where i get a little dizzy but i could still see and when i walk i hummm alot lol idk y i just do... i havent had any pain medication since i left the hospital but i just wanted to know when is all the pain suppose to go away im just scared when i go back to school on tuesday im going to have all this pain, when im moving..

Hopefully mines goes away by 2morrow to, which would make it 4 days... i want to be pain free when i get to school! lol also im craving for food but im not hungry i think thats the craziest thing ever l0l

Im trying not to take my pain meds... but from the looks off it im going to have to... because i cant take it... lol when does the pain go away.. i have so much homework to do now i got my surgery done on 10/08/2009

when is all the pain suppose to go away im just scared when i go back to school on tuesday im going to have all this pain, when im moving around in stuff..

Hi PPL Like Seriously, im scared as hell if i really do get this surgery it would be my first! but anyways... I was just wondering like after do you ever like miss ur weight? In a way its kind of a stupid question but im just like asking my self all these questions... and i always like dream about how im going to look in the future,act,look at other overweight people...Like after u got ur surgery, did u change like inside wise? i mean am i the only person that thinks this... one other thing that is holding me back from this surgery is the excess skin deal... lol like.... Would it be better for me to lose weight before i get it to keep the risk of excess skin low or w.e ... or it doesnt make a difference? this surgery is FreAkin me out!!! :smile2:

Like im just so scared n nervous i actually dont want to tell ppl that im having the surgery like i just want this for me n not like 4 other ppl u know what i mean... even the dudes i talk 2 now... im not telling them either... lol... i just dk i guess.... i just hope i keep my curves i still wanna be thick but like thick/healthy lol i hope thats possible

How many Requirements r there? In order for my info to get sent to lap band surgeon i had to see a Nut.-ist n Psych.... what else is there?

L0L... 0mg that word needs to leave my vocab!!!! :crying: Thankz :wink:

Omg like i so did not know a Support Group was like that... i expected it to be different.. But i was so scared to ask questions so i just sat there and listened... it was only one girl there my age everybody was older and had already got the lap band or the by. or pre-by./lb. But the only big issue(s) about this surgery was u know the "skin folds".. im just scared b/c like of course nobody wants them but i dont want to do the plastic surgery if i end up getting this surgery this would be my first... so im wondering if there is a way i could prevent some of it... should i excerise more then what im doing before surgery... but recently people have been telling me since im young i wont get them but like idk i was just wondering... WHAT SHOULD I DO??? The other big issue i had was the skinny part.. like i dont want to get that skinny i just want to be at a weight where i can play my sports again and feel comfortable... i guess i still want my curves.. l0l My dream weight would be like 130-200lbs. somewhere in there... like (i say like alot im sorry)<its a bad hab. But... to all u ppl on lapbandtalk.com u guys/gals r really k00l and i love to hear your stories about your exp. l0l yeah just Thankz alot! this site really helps! :wink:
