its amazing. like i realized how much i use to eat and cant believe it. and when people are always complmenting you it feels amazing like my firends are always say wow you look so good what are you doing to lose the weight and its just amazing :thumbdown: when do you find out if your approved or not ???

yea i am excited to see the end process think i ve been doing pretty good i eat half of what i use to its so nice to be able to finsh and not still be hungry i am like never hungry anymore like once and a while i will get hungry but not like i use its nice

yea thats what i was thinking too i dont want to be one of the failures :/

yea i use to take nighttime advil so i could sleep but i cant take them now. iam doing pretty good i started going back to the gym this week and as for sickness i ve only got it once and it was when i tried this sobe sugar free drink it didnt agree with me at all. So i think i am doing pretty well i am still trying to get over this whole its my head saying i am hungry not my stomach. i cant wait to get my fill i think i will feel so much better cuz right now i am in banster hell and it is hard but like deep down i know what i have to do and what is right

ummm i was told not to take any pills for a while but my first couple of nights i took a zanex broke in half and i was just fine but i dont think any big pill would go through. I know that for the first couple weeks you have to take liquid vitamens which are nastyyyyy hah i hate it but it could be worse so i think it depends on what you could handle really just check with your doctor becuz every doctor says something different

yea once you have a set date it will go by soo much faster :frown: once i got my date set it felt like it flew by.

Yea i have to say the lapband takes alot of will power. but i think you will make it through it, Aww good i hope they band you over christmas break that would be so good because you will get the extra time to heal. but the most imporant thing to do is walk after surgery because i didnt walk very much the first day and i got the worst pains from the gas they blow you up with ughh ahha but if you walk i am sure you ll be fine i am so excited for you !

yea i know. its not that hard to fight off because i just tell myself in the long run i am going to look so much better and feel so much better about my self. do you know when you appt. is for your next step to getting it ?

yea ! thats how i was i only told a couple people because my school is just drama central and i could just see it going the wrong way there. i have to say tho the hardest thing about this is the temptation at school and football games. Like tonight for example my bestfriend was eating a pretzel and it smelt soo good but i just was like w.e but i am like really excited my doctor moved me to the next stage so i actually get to eat something with flavor and texture :thumbup: i really hope you get it you will be so happy like i wake up every morining and just think that in a couple months iam going to look so much healthier

Yea well i hope you do too you will be so happy like since ive got it i lost almost 20 pounds and i feel so good. The tightness isnt really that bad its just pain in the butt haha Do you plan on telling any of your firends when you get it ??

Thats so exciting ! I hope you do ! mine happen so quickly like i went for an appt at the end of Aug and got mine on the 25 of sep. but before i wanted to do this when i was 16 i wanted to do the gastric bypass but i decided this would be so much better because atleast when i get preg. they can open the band and then after you can lose the weight you gained again soo idk i like it so far, the only thing i really hate is getting up in the morining and the band is so tight

Your welcome. when do you plan on getting yours ?

I am 17 and I just did my Lapband on Friday and I am going back to school on Wednesday. As for heavy lifting I think you have stay under 10lbs for a week or two. Personally the pain isnt that bad i am a little sore and feel a little bit weak.
