I am scheduled for my surgery on April 22, I am supposed to start my liquid diet in a couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me how much weight did you lose when you finished your liquid diet? Thanks!!!!!!

I am 26 and I am supposed to be banded in April. It is best now that you take care of your weight and get band as opposed to waiting years down the road to do something about it. My advice to you is to block out the negativity and have no regrets about what you are doing, because it is for YOUR health after all.

I am scheduled to be banded on April 25th I just wanted to know who has already started the process for the liquid diet. How much weight did you lose on the clear liquid diet.? I have to do mine for ten days. I also wanted to know how much everyone lost in one month after lap band surgery. Thank you!

I was told that I would have surgery most likely in late April, I attend the nutrition classes my third class is next month. I just want to know how long it usually takes to get a surgery date so I can give my job proper notification.

I really want to get lapband done. I have already attended a seminar and I am going to proceed with trying to get lapband surgery performed. I have a half sister that I thought I was close with until I told her that I was thinking about getting lapband. She was very rude and nasty to me, she started saying that I am getting it because I am lazy, which is definitely not the case. She said that I would put ALL my weight back on if I were to get pregnant. She was saying how she did this and that to lose weight and I did nothing. Not true I went to the gym four times a week for an hour and still had no luck. Has anyone else encountered negativity such as this when it came to revealing your lapband secret? :smile2:

I wanted to know if anyone had a month to month diary of how much weight was lost on lapband. I also wanted to know if there was anything special you had to do a long with eating right and exercising.:smile2:

Ok so I have been heavy my entire life. I am so sick of it. This country is based on everything skinny. One example is, how many times have you walked into a department store to get an outfit and discover that the clothes in the plus size department looks like table cloth patterns and looks so dull that not even an elderly person would wear it?(Not trying to be smart) I just hate it! That is one of the reasons I am just going to lose this weight with LapBand and start my life over again. I want to be able to look nice as well and feel confident. I have discovered that the same people who flaunt their figure in my face are the same ones who hate the thought of me wanting to do lapband. "Oh that is lazy, you are taking the easy way out, you are not even trying etc. I wonder how the skinny crowd would feel if they had slow metabolism and couldn't lose any freakin weight. I can almost guarantee that Lapband would be their choice eventually. Some people need to take a walk in our shoes and be big for a day. It's easy for someone to say you are not trying when they haven't tried to put themselves in our shoes.

I personally know five people who I am close to that had lapband I know what they are going through. They are my friends and I know them on a personal level and I feel they are the only ones who know what I have been through. Justrite could have found a better way to choose her words, since she doesn't know me from a can of paint and made her comment off of assumption.

I feel yucky because I am unhealthy. I have confidence and I know I am beautiful. I have the right to feel disgusted if I am not pleased about my weight. I have done a year of research on lapband for over a year. I am mentally prepared for what is to follow. I have confidence but I will finally feel complete when my extra weight is gone for I have battled with my weight my entire life and as I get older I am getter bigger and therefore I feel disgusted. I have a baby boy who I love dearly and I want to live for him, myself, my husband, and my family. I know what I am doing by choosing this route. I am not in for a rude awakening, I woke up when I realized I needed to lose the weight NOW.

I have an appointment for consultation on November 4th. What should I expect when going to my consultation.:smile2:

It is a shame how when I am big I am fun to hang with, but as soon as I want to better my self my sister wants to find ways too put me down. Green can be an ugly color.
