Thank you for posting this blog...............I have just learned something from you. I am still on my full liquid diet and 9 mores days of it but I will remember what you wrote and NOT do the same thing. And the comments are great too from all the other bloggers. Judy

I was told 2 weeks but I did have a small hernia repaired so that might make the difference. I also was told no lifting, pulling or pushing for 4 weeks. I have a good husband that is doing all that for me. Lucky me who still has a clean house because of him.....LOL Judy

Wow, I know you wrote this blog a long time ago but it really was nice to read. 110lbs.........that is my goal and to be in size 10/12 that is only a dream for me. Size 24/26 shirt is what I wear now but not for long. I am a bit older, 59, than you and was told by the social worker at my doctors office that I would not get under 170 unless I do the gastric bypass. Well, I am going to show her she was wrong and by reading your blog it will make me work harder. And I see you can eat reg food when you reach your goal but not much of it so when I see that person eating that piece of pizza that looks so good, I will think in time I will have just a bite but not until I reach my goal. AND just a bite will satisfy me. Even though I am still on the soft diet I feel so much better with not only the weight lost but with the good food that is going in me. Thanks for your blog, Judy

I have noticed when I leave the comment it does not come up right away so I go back to blogs and hit full entry again and then I see my comment. Some of these real young ones don't realize everyone does not like change. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is NOT. Have a good day. Judy

My band was put in on Friday and today, Tuesday I feel great and don't need any help. When I first came home, I really needed help putting my socks on and could not move fast but could move, just very slowly so if I was here alone I could have done it all (except for the socks). Just my husband thought I was doing stuff too slow............LOL Get the band and don't worry about being alone. You will probably heal faster being you have to do things yourself. As far as the liquid diet, I never did that until after the surgery which was very easy to do because all that I have gone thru to get banded, I will never put that bad stuff in my stomach again...well, for a long time from now. Good luck to ya, Judy

Under 200...........that is great and keep going if you want to. I can't wait until I can type in here saying I am under 200. Working on it and I will get there...............you did.

Wow, Just had mine put in me last Friday and hoped it would last longer than 5 years. Good luck to you and get that weight back off................you will feel better. I lost 2 pounds and I feel great about that.........LOL Judy
-
April, 80 lbs.............wow and you just found this site. You will find so many good friends here to support you. I just had my surgery on Friday so I am still healing and not loosing but I know soon I will be loosing. And me being on that clear liquid diet...................that chicken broth taste so good to me. I don't feel hungry at all even though I have my band wide open. Just knowing I am going to loose weight and it is there to help me I don't want to eat. I even made my husband a good supper last night and went to lick my finger and stopped myself. Amazing when you put your mind to something. So you keep loosing and as far as people thinking this is an easy way out........poop on them, they are just jealous of the new beautiful you. Hear this old lady roar...LOL

I love your post and yes you have been an inspiration to me as well. I can't wait until I can post that I am under 200 and I will do that. Judy

Bandsters for the week of December 27 ~ let's chat!
Judyjones replied to rather be scrapbooking's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Me too telling people about the hernia repair. I feel it is no ones business and this is personal. Also feel that people will think I am weak and could not do it on my own and then the thought of failing. Oh, so much to think about. But I am think positive and will do it. Tomorrow is my surgery day and I will be able to look away from those cookies and candy.........I hope. -

Thank you for the entry on my blog and that sleep thing was a breeze so don't worry about it. I stressed over it also and then laughed at myself after it was over with. I am sorry your husband is not with you but you are doing this for yourself, not anyone else. I have only told a few people and wished I just kept it to myself but too late. I am excited and scared too because you hear of so many bad stories but I don't look at them, I like reading the good stories. Take care and I will blog on how I make out tomorrow. Judy

Oh, it was so nice to hear from you and thank you for the kind words. Yes, I love to read your blogs and see you in the big green shirt. My shirt is going to be yellow and today is the day I will take my picture in it being it is the eve of my surgery and then I am going to wear it to the hospital. Take care and I will see you on this after my surgery tomorrow. Judy

This site is wonderful. I will be banded on the 31st and very excited to start my journey. My doctor is kinder that most of yours because I am not on clear liquid diet, just special foods which includes one slice of bread a day. I love those shakes from Walmart with skim milke and ice cubes. I am from upstate NY, NOT the city....LOL and 59 years old. Anyone else from my area or at least my age? Thanks Teri for starting this. I loved reading all the blogs and what you are going thru. I have decided over the holiday that food is not the holiday, the people you are with are so everyone Merry Xmas and think skinny. Judy I wish I could figure out how to make one of those ticker things. I love to see those and how much weight has left your body. -
Hi Julie, Yeah for you that it is over and now the real journey starts. My date is on Dec 31st at the same time as yours. I also have a hernia that has to be repaired but hoping they don't make me go thru that upper GI. You make it sound great to have it over with and I will be watching for more blog entries from you. My pre op diet has not been too bad and I also have lost weight but I...

I am going thru the pre-op right now because my date is Dec 31st and I can not believe how my mind is set not to eat. I have been thru so many test and meetings that this part is easy and I am loosing weight. Knowing this lapband is going to help me keep loosing the weight, it is not hard at all. It is all in the mind and a little help. Good luck to ya, Judy

Hi rose, It has been a long time since I have been on here and wow, it is changed but my new lapband friends are here. Dec 31st is my surgery date if you have not read my blog. I am excited but scared too. We have been down to NC for over a month with my kids and I went to two craft shows down their selling my hats and wow, sold all but 2. I can't wait until next year when I am skinny. Judy

Today December 19,2010.
Judyjones commented on jmunks2000's gallery image in Before and After Lap Band Photos
You look great! What a difference from your other pictures. Can't wait to post my pictures if I can figure out how to do it with this new website. -
I have a doctor that is kinder that yours. I am eating reg food but not as much. I am being banded on the 31st. I find the more water I drink the better I feel and then when I get on here and see how much people have lost, my hunger pains go away. Come on we can do it. We both want to get healthy and skinny. When the hunger pains start, get up and do something even if is to clean or look at old pictures of you when you were skinny........LOL I wish you the best of luck and we will be doing this together, well one day apart. Hope to hear from you to see how you make out with the surgery. Your new friend, Judy

Nice thing to remember about getting dizzy. Glad you shared that. Thank you. I will be a December bandster but not until the last day, the 31st. I get excited reading all these blogs. Judy -
Wow, under 200. I am so jealous but I am doing something about it. I am getting banded on the 31st so someday I can right on here and say I am under 200. Congrats to you and keep up the good work. Judy
