Hi there Mommy of one....you are going to be very proud of your self during this life changing event. I know for me it has been a roller coaster with emotions. You know, the weight, your comfort, your safe zone, eating habits ...all that put together is crazy. Just take it day by day....don't rush and take your time on your weight loss. Remember this is a slow process. Let me know if I could help you in any way or just simply need a shoulder to cry, laugh or talk to. I was banded on Aug 28th and have been doing pretty well. I go in for my first fill on Oct. 1. We will see how that goes. Take care and may god bless you. I will say a prayer for your surgery....everything is going to be fine. Here is my email address just in case you need to contact me at..chardwich@rgv.rr.com cinhard

OMG....had my band on 8-28 and have felt good. There r some days that I feel bad and good. It's funny because for some reason or other I feel this urge to eat normal food. Since i'm still on liquids (uuugggg) I have gotten a nugget from my daughters plate....chewed it really well....then spit it out. I know this sounds very gross but it's some kind of satifaction to my brain. I am very guilty today....had a small piece of hersheys in my mouth. I waited for it to all melt and then swolled it....crazy stuff man... well hope you all are recovering fast.... cindy:thumbup:

Hi everone....I'm alive!!! Well had surgery on friday the 28th of August. Have good and bad days. I burp alot, I feel i'm still hungry, I'm able to lay on my sides now, and I'm very tired of liquids. You know my mind plays tricks on me. I sometimes think that if all this was worth it.....I must admit ...it was worth it. I cook for my husband and my 3 year old daughter, watch them eat... and think...Gosh I can't eat like that anymore. very weird!! But we are all here to support each other through good and bad....talk to you all soon...and if just banded....speedy recovery.. Cindy

Hi there, I am right with you. I'm hving surgery actually tomorrow. I have been doing the pre op and it sucks... BUt I did break down yesterday and started crying..I have so many emotions running through my mind. I started talking to my husband and told him to just reassure me that i'm doing the right thing. Thank God he is my supporter and a good one. Right now, i'm just kind of spaced out. lol...I think the surgery part just hit me today. But it is a life changing event...and another reason I felt bad is because food was my comfort blanket and now it soon will be removed. So in all......LOTS OF EMOTIONS...but good luck with your surgery, I will say a prayer for you. We will get through this...everything is going to be OK. bye Cindy

Hope things work out for you...:thumbup:
