bandedon831 0 Posted September 3, 2011 I got banded last Wednesday, delayed 2 days due to the Hurricane There has been some minor discomfort, not much. I had much more discomfort walking out of a Chinese Buffet!! What I dont miss is the overeating and obsessing about food.< /p> I am so glad that I didnt overeat today My journey just started, but so far so good. I went on the liquid pre op and lost about 15 lbs. My weigh in at surgery was 301 on Wednesday. Today, 3 days later, its 290. I havents seen the 2's in along time!! Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences; it truly helps me!! Good luck to you all!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theodoru 0 Posted September 4, 2011 I don't miss worrying about whether I would be able to fit into the seat on the rides in Orlando when I take my grandchildren on vacation. I barely fit into the new Harry Potter ride (imagine someone jumping up and down on you trying to get the latch to click in place) last summer, and I put on even more weight after that.

Rachel412 116 Posted September 4, 2011 I don't miss fast food either! I don't miss eating anything I could get my hands on just to get that "full" feeling. I don't miss my back fat rolls touching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bandedon831 0 Posted September 7, 2011 Today is one week! I am soooooooooooooooo excited!! You all have given my alot to think about: clothes, rides at the amusement park and even dips. Until you experience what we experience, the food addiction, nobody can understand. They can be understanding, but they just dont understand. I DONT miss "hunting" for food while thinking about a binge: the perfect meal, which of course never happened and only led to terrible discomfort after overeating...AGAIN!! Thanks everybody for your support and guidance. I couldnt do it without you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
