New Years Resolution

Hi everyone, I was banded on Dec. 31, 2008 talk about a New Years Resolution huh? I am very excited about this new journey in my life and also a little scared. I have failed so many times before but I know that this time is different. My whole family is involved and very supportive. I feel very blessed. This is my 7th day and I am not scheduled for my post-op until Jan 20th. So it seems like I have a lot of time before I can even get a fill. I am trying to get used to the full feeling and realize that when I feel that I need to stop. It is defineatly a learning experience. I have done well and have had no problem eating. I am feeling very bloated and tight in my stomach. It is a very uncomfortable feeling I actually feel bigger now than what I did before. So much so that I don't even want to weigh myself. I so dont want to fail. Any advice out there I would love to hear from you.

Thanks in advance.:thumbup:

Congrats on getting your band and do take a look around the forums. Lots of great discussions and plenty of support from others that are going through the same experiences. As I say the easy part is over now and the hard part begins. Living life with the lapband. The weight will come off you just have to make it work for you!

Best of luck!

Thanks for the replies I am doing much better on the bloating now I just got to get past being so hungry. I don't know which is worst being in pain or being hungry. Im still on the full liquids and I miss chewing lol! Hope all is going well for the rest of you.
