jst4kel 1 Posted December 29, 2007 I am curious to know how you feel today on day 2. I am scheduled for surgery on Jan. 24 and am beginning to get nervous.Congrats on the step you are taking to a healthier you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoegirl1970 0 Posted December 29, 2007 Jst4kel, I feel great on day 2. I did have to take something a bit stronger than the Tylenol a little while ago but I think it's because I also have a little bit of a cough. It hurts when I cough so my husband suggested I take the prescribed pain medication. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainbowme2 0 Posted December 30, 2007 My band date is January 2nd and I have Dr Kwon also. I am very excited. Doing the dieting during the holidays had a special meaning for me. I figured if I can be good during the biggest food fest of the year then I can do this the right way till the end. My concern is I am an emotional eater but I am on top of it with a therapist to figure out other ways to express feelings instead of stuffing them down with food. I also find the group I go to very helpful. Happy New Year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
