I do water arobics. Love it.

LOL. GOod Blog!!!!

DO you work out?

You are sooooo right someone said that to me to and it's harder being banded if you ask me but the rewards are better!!!! Look at it like that. Congrats to you. You are my insperation!

Right!!!!! I was banded on Dec. 14th I have lost 30 pounds but I can eat anything! I go to the dotor today and I hope he gives me my first fill early. I have kids and they always eating cakes and cookies and I look at them like hmm.... one bite and I don't even eat sweets!!!! Things are not the same but I keep pressing on.

Congrats my fellow December bandster!!! I am so very proud of you keep up the good work! I was banded on the 14th ( as I think you know already) I have lost 20 pounds but I have been hungry on the liquids. Can't wait to get to pureeds. Merry christmas.

HAHA I just asked my mom the same thing!!! SHe said no because its liquid as well. You only need to do this with solids so that the food can last and won't be washed away. My mom was banded 3 years ago so I go to her for alot of advice. SHe has lost 95 pounds and is in a size 8. She is my inspiration and my support partner.

Thank you for the advice! I will try some eggs for sure!!!!

Hang in there girl it is werth the wait. Times are hard I am not going to lie but I would never change my mind about getting the band.

Good luck! I get banded tomorrow!

O Congrats! I get banded tomorrow I am so exited! I have been doing the Wii fit plus it really works. I want to get the biggest looser! Good luck.

I agree! Keep posting!

Thanks guys for the great words!

I am 8 days on liquid diet and I have lost 11 pounds that's what keeps me going. Yes I will agree it will get easier at first I cried because I couldn't believe I got to this point where I had to do this but I got over it and am focused! I put my shake in a 2 liter bottle and mix it with a pack of crystle light that taste ok with a dash of lemon juice. I am on full liquids and I take like brocclli chedder soup and water it down and blend it then strain it add some season all no suger and some garlic powder and pepper just a little and it makes the world of difference. You have to think of it like its the soup from the olive garden or something. I do that with all my soups and broths. hope that helps.

Stay on the + side it's for the good. I am in the same boat. I get banded on the 14th of Dec. and I can't wait. Family is going to down you eather way it goes if your fat they got something to say if you loose they have something to say, so you need to do what's best for you. Lets stay in touch with one another I don't know about you but I am looking forward to all the support I can get. This is going to be life changing. I had a aunt tell me the other day that when I loose the weight that I was going to look like an old sagging bag! Then 2 days later she asked me for the 2 week pre op fast diet so that she can do it with me. LOL, so it's interesting, people don't like to see others succeed sometimes. Just stay focused and do what you need to do. I live with my mom. She was banded 3 years ago, if was the best thing that has happend to her. She was a size 22/24 now she is a 8. She will be my motavation partner, she is very supportive. Anyway good luck and can't wait to see you once the pounds shed!

My operation has been scheduled for the 14th of Dec. I can't wait. Like the lady above said the 6 months go by so fast, and it gives you a chance to mentally prepair yourself. As soon ass my 6 months was up I got approved in less then a week so be encuraged!

Maybe try a WII they really do work. WII fit.

I am right there with you! My date is set for the 14th of Dec. I can't wait but I am still trying to get into the right mind frame.
