May Bandsters!

[azhoselady 17]

Hang in there I think people say that a lot because as I have read in other posts no one wants to be the the big friend. Only you know what you want and need. Don't let it get you down. You are going to do great keep thinking positive.

why do I have lines all over my previous post? So strange!

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!

Hope it gets better for u!! I haven't told too many people that im getn banded...no one that i work with jus told them i have to have surgery and left it at that...

May 7th banding here. I am struggling on the pre op diet with 9 days to go.

I only told 2 people my mom and my husband and of course my lapband family :-). There is no need for anyone else to know afterall what could they really contribute to my success! They never contributed anything now- I'm very excited and can't wait till my new beginning - May 18.

High five to the recent ladies who have joined!! I ordered chocolate Splendor and vanilla Unjury, I like it! My nutritionist had given me a sample packet to try and it was good!!

Thanks caramel.

It's funny - The people close to me are excited for me. The people I've told who I am not as close with have negative things to say. Pay them no mind... They don't know our struggles with weight and what it has been like to live in our bodies.

I have 9 days of liquids left too... I can't lie, it sucks.

I am getting banded on May 11th. I'm drinking 4 slim fast shakes a day and Water only. Lord this is hard when your family still has to eat. Been doing this for eight days and have 13 more to go!

In 3 days I get banded. I am excited but nervipus as well.

Last night I had my "last" steak meal with my husband. Oh how I will miss steak. That is one of my favorite foods.

I am in the Catskills NY if anyone is looking for a local partner.

Well here I am and very nervous and excited at the same time. I've been researching and praying for about a year now on what exactly to do. I have chosen the lap band because that's what's best for me.

This is my first post of many!! I just found out friday that my insurance approved me and my surgery is scheduled for May 11th!!!!! Only 2 weeks wow!! I have to start my 2 week diet tomorrow and haven't decided on my shakes yet and need some suggestions please. A little bit about myself I'm 44, married with a son and live in Southeast Georgia!! I'm so looking forward to my band because it's the tool I've been needing and praying for. Any suggestions would be great!! Thanks and God Bless!!

Hey Congrats and welcome! I would def order the powder from Unjury it is the best I've tasted!

I've hear a lot about an Unjury drink that I've never heard of before. I've actually chosen my shake as the Atkins advantage Protein Shakes, the vanilla ones, I've tried the strawberry but I didnt love those at all. Has anyone tried them? And if so has anyone tried the chocolate

I am new to this site need some buddies to go through this with ! Surgery set for may 2nd anyone else scheduled in may???

I'm scheduled for May 10th. Not looking forward to the gas pains that people talk about. On day 4 of my liquid diet. Its getting better but it's still hard. Luckily I found a Protein Shake that's high in Protein but low in carbs and it taste good.
