Hi, want to wish you all the luck in the world. I just know you will do just fine. Banded Dec.31, 2009. Let me tell you it has changed my life. (for the better) I would do it over again if i had to. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Take care of yourself . peace~

That is awesome! You are doing great! It does help to have that extra back up from your love. My hunny helped me out at first. He even went and had the lap band done too. Sad to say that after a few months of having the band he went right back to old habits. Shame on him. He is even talking about having it taken out. NOT ME! i love it and how it has helped me. Have had a few bumps along the way but im back on track now and loven it. Good luck to you! Heather~

You guys can do it! I will say that i did get a little weak by the 5th day. I will also say that i did eat 2 crakers with a little peanut butter on them. Not much but it helped out alot. Good luck!!!

Sounds to me that you may be too tight. i know you dont want to hear that but you dont want to get dehydrated. Did they tell you to stay away from carbonation? Gingerale is carbonated. It gives me really bad trapped gas. Hurts really bad! Try something warm like broth or coffee hot coco.... see if that will work. sometimes if i try and eat or drink someting without flushing first it hard for food to pass through. but keep in mind everyone is different. Hope it helps. keep intouch. let me know how it goes Heather~

WOW that is GREAT! Looks like you are on your way. Sounds to me like you are trying really hard and you have your mind right where it needs to be. I was banded in Dec. of 09' best thing i have ever done. I have had a few bumps along the way . For now Im happy with it and would do it 1000 times again if needed. During the pre op diet I lost 23 lbs. It was awesome!!! On my one year anniversary I was at a 100 lbs lost!! Was feeling really good at this point . When i started this journey i was at a woppin 268 lbs. a size 26 pants. could wear a 24 but the 26 gave me breathing room if ya know what i mean.? At 168 and wearing a size 10 jeans I felt soooo good about myself. made sure i got those full body photo shots. lol.... Up until this year around the end of April early May I started getting sick. SICK because of my choices not the band. Started eating spicy foods just could get enough of it. Mean while i didnt know what i was doing to my stomach. Had to get unfilled because my stomach was inflamed really bad. Couldnt keep nothing down. Very Very disappointing to me. BUT I had to keep in mind that I DID IT TO MYSELF. I made poor choices. Well after waiting 4 1/2 months and gaining 22lbs back i went to get a fill. While there i find out that my port has done a 90 degree flip, ugh! after seeing a few drs. and finding out that it can be fixed and getting a fill IM BACK ON TRACK!!! Went on last friday and have lost 3lbs already. I didnt tell you all of this to scare you I just want you to make good choices and I know you will. you will do just fine! Keep us posted and post lots of pics. Look me up if you ever need to talk. Holla~

FIRST i would like to say CONGRATS!!!. Sounds like you are ready. Just wanted to wish you the best of luck!! I was banded on Dec. of 09' and doing great. Had a few bumps alone the way but on my way again. U can do this. Also this site is amazing. When you are having a bad day and cant seem to stay on track just long on there is always someone that will lift you up and help you through the day. Look me up sometimes if you would like to talk. GOOOOD LUCK!
