Well I made it :thumbup:

Went in yesterday at 7:15am and was home by 3:30pm!

All is going well, the gas pain yesterday was the worst, but gasX is a good friend. Feeling pretty good today, drinking lots of Water, not hungry at all but sipped down an EAS shake.

So far so good! Glad to be on the other side of the fence :)

Welcome to Bandland, Bwhitty! Keep on walking to relieve the gas. Follow all your doc's rules and keep a positive attitude. Recipe for success.

Make sure to keep checking in with us and let us know how you are doing. Congrats on your big step to a new and healthier life and lifestyle.

Congradulations! 1000 pages:thumbup:!

I hope in another 1000 I know you all as well as you know each other!

Way to make my morning!

Back to the real stuff, i am going to try to walk twice again today. I walked a total of 70 minutes yesterday, and I got a diploma from about.com for having completed my 10 week walking program! I feel kinda proud....also nsv I started out in xxl sweats and now am in xl stretch pants, the next pair will be large, and that will be pretty soon, because the ones I wear are loosening up after two wears! YEAH:thumbup:!

It is looking a little overcast here so we might just get that rain forecasted for the weekend.

That is all for now...

some pics of my walk yesterday:

Hmmmm..... why does that look SO familiar????

Oh, yeah.... that's where we're going in a few days!!

Nice pics!

Dear Apples: Thanks for your reply. I am doing this for me, me, me! I too need to lose 130 pounds to be at my ideal goal weight and I will do it. It's so encouraging to see all these success stories. Were you banded or did you have the gastric bypass? I am being banded on Monday and am very excited ... and somewhat nervous. Keep in touch!

Csolo...I had band surgery in June, 2008. The entire process was pretty much a good one for me. I have mega energy and feel wonderful.

Please check in with us after your surgery (b/4 if you want to talk) and let us know how you are doing. We can help you along the way and are willing to do so. Lots of experienced bandsters on this thread.

I'm excited for you. Enjoy your weekend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY APPLES !!!

No one can hold a candle to you. Happy Birthday!

Today is your day to shine as every day should be. Happy Birthday!

I hope that your birthday is as wonderful as you are.

God gave a gift to the world when you were born; a person who loves and cares, who sees a person's need and fills it, who encourages and lifts people up, who spends energy on others rather than himself, who touches each life he enters & makes a difference in the world. May the love you have shown to others return to you multiplied.

Don't count the years, count the blessings.

Wishing you a year filled with the same joy you bring to others.

Right now I am going to get email notifications - I usually don't junks up my email too much - Found signature - but can'f figure out how to insert pic..

and I saw some place that they have newest conversation - but haven't done it enought to tell anyone else how to do it - right now going to forum and getting to our thread that way.... and i see something right now below this box says click to configure post options - going to try it = its the smiles and most are gone - you change color and text size just like you use to - well at least how I did each individual post that other thing never worked for me -

      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.
