surgery date- and now SCARED TO DEATH!

[oldoneyoungagain 200]

Okay, no one has posted on this site since October. By now most of you have had your surgery, or you are getting close. As of the 11th I was two months post op. Doing fantastic. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't get compliments which even makes you feel better. And the energy, I can't believe it. I remember when I couldn't walk through Walmart Super Center and wish they had benches somewhere in the middle to get our breath. Now not a problem. The only thing I will say, is the surgery is really costing. New clothes an I'm not even close to goal, well for the doctors 36 lbs, me 50 lbs. Plus, I decided to invest in a threadclimber. Actually bought it for the daughter but told her it was her Christmas present, Valentines, Easter, Birthday and the list goes on and the stipulation is that it stayed at my place and I get to use it until I die in 30+ years . But I'm loving this more than I did the band and I felt I would never think that, but I do. No monthly visits, no needles sticks in the stomach, blood sugars totally under control. So if any of you had complications, I'm sorry. But this is the best thing that has happened to me in 30 years when I started to eating way too much . At my age I was also fearful of not waking up from the surgery but decided that if that happened there was somebody above me that wanted me there more than they wanted me here. Have a Happy Thankful Thanksgiving.

Is anyone else losing slowly? I have lost 20 pounds in 5 weeks Tuesday will be 6 weeks. I hit a stall week 3 for 2 weeks and this week I have not lost anything. I am able to eat 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup which is more than I was told which was 1/4 cup. I have a lot of head hunger. Trying not to get discouraged. I am so afraid I will be one of the lap band revision to RYN that doesn't lose. Any advise appreciated

Don't worry Lynn. I'm losing very slowly, about 1lb a week. I'm happy with this (as long as it continues) as I could eat this way forever and don't feel deprived or as if I'm on a diet. I'm considering doing some exercise to tone up a bit. But every time you think you're a slow loser, you can be sure someone else is slower 14lb gone, 51lb to go.
