If you have a LBT on your cell it is as good as email. Most don't like to give out email addresses as they can be spammed from the forum.

Hey guys i just got banded on friday as well...how are you guys feeling? Emotionally and physically? I am mentally overwhelmed i believe i am over thinking things way to much. Worried about Vitamin intake knowing i am getting what i need to worried about the fact i wonder what that new chix sandwich at wendeys i see on TV taste like even though I DONT WANT IT..i just thought i wouldn't even think about it that much after the band.. i did have 1 oz purred peaches with 3 oz of dannon fit and lite greek yogurt for lunch and 1 oz pureed peaches with pureed cottage chez for dinner and of course lots of h2o and my Protein shakes.... physically i am feeling pretty good a bit sore around belly button and other incisions i have been real fortunate not to throw up and have been able to keep everything down although i can feel gas in the chest area and wish it would just go away already lol. Hope u guys all feel well..will check back later internet is not working that great at this time ;( hope it will be fully fixed soon:) good luck to all....

Hey people. I was banded 4yrs ago. I have had a lot of issues with my band. I've learned a lot a long the way. Support is very important. Honestly, I isolated myself. I did not have the best support system in medical team, and I allowed that to deter me from using the band the way it was intended.

For you newbies, you really shouldn't have the feeling of vomiting. Its too early. Your body is still healing and you aren't really able to explore foods. I'm here for any one that wants to talk.

I've recommitted myself to this process. I'm eating right. I'm exercising and listening to my body and band.

Congrats on the loss! bread is really hard to swallow at the best of times as well as steak. Even when your on normal food the softer meat is the better cos you have to chew it till its mush before you swallow.

Ok' date='what about leafy vegetables like cabbage, greens etc.[/quote']

I never ate cabbage, it might be trial and error unless someone here has had cabage? Greens are fine with lettuce probley crispy is easier to eat. I used cos lettuce. Capsciun, cucumber brussel sprots Beans snow peas and sugar snap peas. Not sprouts i found them hard to try and chew to mush to swallow. fruit is different for most people. Just remember you have to be able to chew to mush or spit it out. I hope this helps

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
