I was truly rethinking getting this band, but I have to say losing weight feels soo good. Better than all the bad food that I was consuming. I have went from 316 to 285 after about a month and a half. I feel better and have more energy and I feel my sexy coming back. I will say that it's hard telling people how much I used to weigh because I didn't look like I weighed as much as I did. But I'm learning to be proud of the weight I am now and look forward to the weight I will be and stop be ashamed of where I was. It's in the past and besides my future looks pretty bright.:frown:

So the pain finally went away and my shoulder feels better. Thanks for the advice to keep moving bandsters. It really help, but now I'm in liquid diet hell. If I drink one more whey protein shake. I feel like I am starving. I have also been a tad bit bad. I ate a small bite of a chicken panini sandwich my daughter had,but after I chewed it I spit it out. Big mistake. That tiny morsel of normal came back in the form of exposive diarrhea, I know tmi, but someone has got to say it and days later I thought I could have a chicken chunk. It was soft and it's chicken right healthy. Wrong!!! Same thing that happen before happened again so no more cheating for me.But I have got to tell you I'm raging bitch :smile: on this liquid diet.Yes I have gone from 316 to 296 in two weeks :thumbup: but when came I use my teeth again.

My insurance paid for everything and thank god they did.

I still dream of food and how great it tastes but 3 days post op and I barely can finish a bottle water and jello was a strech. I think I am suppose to be eating more, but I'm not sure.Can you have a protein shake and can someone pls tell me what ursodiol is for and how you are taking it bc it's nasty and if it won't keep me alive then do I have to ingest it.

I am so there with you accept I wasn't a smoker and I have always been a walker.I certainly believe noone is in as much pain and discomfort as I am right now as I writethis. It's nice to see that it isn't or wasn't just hell for me and that maybe I will come out on the other side of this.

I had surgery on thursday and I can't lie kinda regretting it. Don't get me wrong I'm glad that I am doing something about my weight issues but my left shoulder still hurts and I just want to know when the pain ends. I'm deep breathing and walking and eating or should I drinking properly, but the discomfort is no joke. I use to sleep on my belly. How I long for those days.I'm sure I will get over this and a week or two from now be happy that I did this. For now though I'm in Lapband hell:w00t:

I got banded on Thursday April 15, 2010 and I am feeling a bit depressed too so your not crazy. I woke up regretting doing this to myself, but I know that it will be so worth it in the end. I already lost 11 lbs.You just have to get over this hump and know that everything will be okay. I hope I helped.

My name is Christina and I have completed all my test and got approved for the surgery two weeks ago. I have Tricare Prime and they didn't give me any problems. I currently weigh 314 and have no co-morbidities, but I wanted to make a change in my life. I have started the liquid diet stage presurgery and I believe my surgery is on the 1st of April. I'm both excited and scared.Any advice?:thumbup:
