Being Banded In The Morning!!

[DBRN1972 37]

I am so excited, yet very nervous. I've lost 13 pounds on the pre-op diet and I can't wait to continue on my journey. This forum is awesome!

good luck. Listen to your doc and your recovery should go smooth. Then listen to them about your eating, especially the first few weeks. you will have positive results!

My surgery was Aug. 10, 2011. I've lost about 60-65lb.s in all. I'm wearing attractive clothes again...not the "fat uniforms" that I used to wear. I still have a problem with "me" & temptation. But I am determined to stay healthy.I can now play with my grand children...get down in the floor...& get up again like I did years ago. Yes, I flabbed at first, but gradually, my skin started to tighten up. I would loose pounds & then stop. Then i would suddenly realize that I had dropped another clothing size. Talk about ":wow'. It was quite an adjustment. When I get tempted, I look at photos that I have in a special file on my pc. It is full of the worst pictures of me at my heaviest weight at the worst possible angles. I open that file & ask myself if I really want to go there again. It's hard in that my head gets hungry (not my stomach!) Boy do me & myself have some arguments!But, now i wore heels...really sharp looking ones...for the first time in years...comfortably. And I can cross my legs again, like a lady. Love it. I feel younger, feminine, attractive again & it's wonderful.

Just follow your doctor's orders 7 take it easy at first. If you have any concerns..no matter how silly they may seem to you, they arn't to your doctor. The more that you know & understand, the better it will be for you & your doctor. You will be in my prayers this am.
