It does suck and every since I got lap band, my lower back hurts every time, it never did before. At first I thought it was my chair at work (desk job) and realized the pain went away after I was done. Although, the cramping and pain has gone down drastically and I no longer take midol, so I guess I lessened one pain and gained another :). You'll get through it and the only thing I could safely suggest is liquid tylenol and if you do sugar free, there are some really good Sugar Free Chocolates out there and there's always chocolate Protein Shakes.< /p>

I had four Hershey kisses last night. I logged the calories wasn't over my limit but I know I had them cuz of TOM. They've been on the counter for weeks and then I HAD to have one (ok four) last night. Ugh.

Haha he is working overtime today lol he picked a good day to go in!

I'm going rounds with myself right now.. Cause my tummy is full!!! (With my allowed portion) but I want everything!!!! Lol

Tonight ill treat myself to a no sugar added Water ice for 50 cals .. That's if I'm even hungry after dinner :/

My cramps r laughing at the Tylenol... I may take some liquid Vicodin later.. I've had severe cramping since I was 13, been tested for everything possibly medically related and I'm clear.. It's just my body :(

      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.
