May Bandsters!

[mdfinch 24]

I just wanted to pop in and wish all the May bansters good luck. I was a May banster last year. I will be banded for 1 year on May 4th. ( I won't post my loss yet because I'm trying to reach a goal, but I'll post in on May 4th, just as a record.)

anyway, just wanted to wish you all the best of luck with the band. I know it has been amazingly wonderful for me. This year has really flown by. I can't believe it's been year already. It seems like just yesterday I was kvetching about the liquid diet and the post-op diet.

But really, just keep your chin up, keep plugging away at it. Don't look at the scale for the first month, or if you do look at it, just do it for record keeping purposes and don't get discouraged if it doesn't move for a few weeks. it will eventually move.....and a year from now you will look back and see how far you've come. Best of luck to all of you.

I can't wait to hear about your one year weight loss. When you give us your total weight loss you will have to share some of the ups and downs that you went thru.

I was planning on a week until I seen my surgeon on Wednesday and she told me that she will not release any one any sooner than 2 weeks . And than she said that depends how well she thinks the patient is doing. What a bummer' date=' I love working :wub: and I probably sit at a desk 6 hours out of 8. Now I have to sit at home for 2 weeks, I'm going to go crazy and you all are going to be sick of me.[/quote']

Oh wow...I couldn't imagine being off for 2 weeks! I really don't want to do 3 days but I knw I will prob need @ least that.

Yah! I'm May 11 too! How come everybody's "before" picture looks so much better than mine???

Ok I have to agree with yelorz we all look beautiful with are close ups of our faces showing only. How about the weekend before our surgery we post a front, back and side view picture of our selves? I guess that means I better get with it since my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday May 2. Be on the look out. I will post when I get my pictures posted. This is some thing I want to do on a monthly basis so I can see the difference any way. I also plan on taking measurements this weekend also.

I also strongly agree with Chantix. I think this is a miracle pill. I quit 12 weeks ago last Tuesday and It has really worked for me and my husband. Chantix really made it very easy to quit and I have tried on several occasions before. But chantix really kicked the nicotine in the butt for me.

Started my liquid diet today. So far it's going ok... But I am supposed to have 6-8 8oz servings a day and I've only had one so far. I have a feeling I am going to have to be drinking constantly to get it all in.

I only have to do liquid diet the day before surgery, HOWEVER I'm going to attempt to do it 5 days before, to get ready for post op....

Happy Weekend May bandsters! I start my liquid diet on Friday. (5/4). I am scheduled for May 18th for my surgery. I have PCOS so I have been struggling for a long time to loose the 60lbs that I carry with me all the time. I am ordering my Unjury powder today. Hope everyone is staying positive and hanging in there. Who else is a May 18th surgery date?

[daisychains7 427]

Day 1 of liquids was going fine til about an hour ago. My mind and body feel weird. Can't explain this feeling. lol

I also told my manager at work today I was getting banded in 10 days. She said it was too drastic and that she doesn't think I need it (she is the same size as me). Frustrating!
