Anxiously waiting

[sistercin 5]

Hello, I'm patiently waiting for my band. I have now started the sugar buster diet. I'm on vacation and can't eat what I want....who cares????...lol....I'm excited. I see my doctor on the ninth and hope to have my surgery on April 19. Just a little nervous, but ready for the new me. I only want to lose between 50-60 lbs. is there anyone out there that only needed to lose the same? Please let me hear from you.

Hi sistercin. 55-60 lbs. is my goal. Banded 3/11/13 n down 20 lbs. so far. No band restriction yet but really trying to establish better n healthier eating choices. Always been around 285-300 since high school in late 70's. 3/11 was at 287 now 267. People tell me my face looks thinner but myself I dont notice much differance anywhere else....yet. GOOD LUCK in your future success.

Hey dearlh!

I sent message yesterday, but I don't think it went through. I'm excited for you! My emotions have been up and down. I'm a bit nervous, but excited and in much prayer.

I hope you continue to post your progress. It's very encouraging. If you don't mind me asking, how was your post op?...down time, pain, gas, nausea, eating, etc.???

You sound like its been going pretty well. I'm sure each day gets easier. Your doing great. Keep sending encouragement. Thanks!!!...distercin
