@@newme62633 Thats very exciting for you! Let us know how it goes!

I was really reluctant to tell people in the begining but, as it has gotten closer I have gotten more comfortable talking to people about my choice. I figured people would have their opinions and I was not really interested in it! I've gotten more confident in my response and my decision whihc has helped any negativity I have encountered. My aunt is the most critical of my decision becuase she has had a failed lap band her slef. However, she is also the very first person to tell me how to "cheat." I'm not so sure she followed the rules very well and that is probablly why she had complications. I still politely say thanks and assure her that I have done my research and this is the best decision for me!

I am finally scheduled after going thru everything I need to complete to get the surgery starting back in October of last year. I am scheduled for the 16th of July. I have to do a 10 day no carb diet. Needless to say I am going to live it up a little this weekend for the 4th. I won't say that I am nervous for the surgery. I know this is going to be a HUGE change for me, but honestly I am ready for it.

I'll be banded on the 29th. So close, yet so far.. I start my 3 week preop on the 7th. I'm so excited I've been waiting for so long!

I've told my family, my best friend and my boyfriend. They're really the only people that need to know.

@@catlover602 that is so very exciting!! I hope it's all over and you are on your way to an easy recovery! Can't wait to hear how it went this morning!

[Ivowtodoit 30]

My three children and two friends know and my sister nobody else not even my five bother etc. I don't want no one to say the reason why I lost weight was because of the band not looking at all the hard work I'm doing...... also saying I took the easy way out. If any one ask I am on a low cab diet which I will do until I reach my goal.

I had a good work out at the gym today..... I'm going to start getting my bag ready for the hospital. Is there any one else have to stay one night in the hospital beside me?

[nerms 237]

I'm in overnight too

[canadian13 4]

July 7th is my day. Having pains from gas or hiatal hernia lately. Didn't think the drinks would bring it on. Now I am sipping on chicken bouillion at one in the morning. Getting nervous for Monday. 2 calls from the hospital today to bring my CPap machine. ??? I am a side stomach sleeper,anyone have a problem sleeping this way after surgery ?

One night in the hospital is normal. I see one of your goals is to lose 120 pounds in a year! That seems like a lot to me - what's your plan? Don't think I could manage that much! Good luck!

[Ivowtodoit 30]

I'm going to the gym 6 days out of a week. 500 to 800 calories a day and no more than 30 carbs. Hopefully I can lose 10 lbs a month. I was told you lose the most the first year and it will take two to three years to reach my goal.

Hi I'm kayleena I've been banded for 7 days now and doing great. I was banded June 28th

Good luck and the first week sucks and I am super happy I got some real Fluid down me such as creamy Soup and yogurt this week.

I have lost 26 lbs in 7 days.

Eating Jello drinking warm tea, chicken broth I used low sodium and then added herbs and strained them out. And I have flavor to my broth. I had propel Water and Vitamin Water and watered down Apple juice. I have been walking around a bunch and feel restricted. I can only hold a 1/2 cup of Soup or 1/2 yogurt.

Keep In touch
