I'm checking in for this week and last. Last week 189, this week 187.

191.0 Down a couple!

Hi, This is my first time posting here but I've been reading for a while. My lapband story is a little up and down. I was banded December 2010 and lost about 30 pounds but lost all my restriction and Fluid. I had a mysterious fluid leak that somehow has gone away on it's own. Thank goodness for my fantastic doctor and nurses who have helped me along the way. This past January I found my sweetspot again and am doing well. I've lost 17 pounds since 1/26/2012 and my fluid is not leaking. I feel like I have a band and know how to use it.

HI!!!! So glad I found this place. I'm getting banded on the 15th like many of you. I'm on Day 2 of the liquid diet and it's hard, but I'm so determined. I go for my preop appt. on MOnday and I will buy medifast from the office to use for the remainder of the 2 weeks. Until then I'm using atkins Protein, slimfast high protein and s/f Jello. My Dr. didn't say anything about caffeinne...should I give it up? I'll figure out how to do a ticker later, but I'm currently about 245 lbs and I'm 30 years old. I don't have a fear about the surgery, but I do fear about the post op. I just don't want to throw up. I hate throwing up! I'm so excited to start a new chapter of my life!!! I think I'm most excited about picking clothes that I like instead of clothes that don't make me look "too fat".
