I was more afraid of being able to keep on the pre op diet than the actual surgery. In the past two weeks I lost 18lbs. I have 2 shakes and a regular meal in the eve or at lunch. Just remember why you are doing this and don't stay too focused on what you cant have. Just stay busy, I chew sugarless gum , drink crystal light, sugar free popsicles, nuts, if I need to snack. Stay on track but do it for yourself. Don't put yourself into situations that you cant get out of.

Had my preop yesterday, lost 15 lbs trying not to think about day of surgery but, pretty nervous too. Hope that everything goes well and we can get to the next stage of this.

How are you doing? I have my preop weigh in tomorrow. I've been able to lose 13 lbs so far, Dr. wanted me to lose 8 so I feel pretty good about that just ready for the rest to be over.

Ive used them the past week on my preop. My surgery is next Wed the 28th. -
I have my preop on this Friday. Surgery next Wed the 28th. This has all happened so fast. My weight loss to date is 11 pounds. I have really been oblivious to the things that I really thought would bring me down. Refocusing on the things that I need to do and accomplish before and after surgery. Right now I am pretty calm but, surgery day I hope I dont freak out. I have so many wonderful things to be thankful for and am looking forward to giving everyone in my life my very best.

For a lot of people thats all they have to do is eat less and excercise to get the results they need. For me (most of us being banded or already banded) I think that the band will help me eat less and losing the weight will help me excercise more to get the results that I am looking for. For anyone looking to go this route I would definatley be supportive and refer them to this website to share with others who have arrived here.

I was at a business meeting last week and a customer said to me "boy you sure have gained a lot of weight". I wanted to tell him to jump in the lake and mind his own business. Not to mention that I could of tossed this guy across the room, thats how frustrating it is to me when someone makes a comment like that. I just smiled and said I was working on it. It is very hard both male and female when people just look at your outside and dont appreciate who you really are. Especially at your age when your friends are so active and coming into summer when bathing suits and all that stuff comes into play. Even after you lose all this weight remember that you have so much more going for you, keep putting yourself out there and know that your confidence is only going to get stronger.

I'm having surgery on April 28th. Only my immediate family and a couple of close friends. I have not told anyone at work or any of my customers (I'm in Outside Sales and work out of my house). To me it is more of a personal goal that will have both physical and medical benefits. It almost feels like it puts more pressure on you the more people you tell and their reaction may not always be positive. I wish you the best in your progress.

Thanks so much, I live approx 3 miles from Fantasy of Flight on Lake Juliana. -
8 month comparison - 13 more pounds until 100 lbs lost - so close I can taste it!

Very encouraging way to go! -
Thanks so much. I have already lost 10 pounds since last Wed on preop diet and have my preop weigh in on this Friday. My Dr only wanted me to lose 8 but I am hoping to have 15 off by weigh in. I have a pinched nerve in my neck right now which has really sidelined my physical activity. I have very little range of motion or movement which is frustrating because I would love to be working out too. I'm seeing a Nureologist for this but don't know if they will be able to address it by my surgery date. He gave me Vicadin for pain but, it really does not seem to help.
Did you walk or bike for your cardio workouts? How much did you lose right after surgery and your first fill?
