  1. I am officially 13 days post op! I too am afraid to vomit... But I have accepted that this is something that is going to happen one day. My first fill will not be until May 6 which is 5 weeks after being banded.The way I'm feeling right now is I need to get a fill so that I don't gain the weight back that I have already lost. When I feel hungry I'm quick to drive through a drive thru and make some really bad choices... So I can't wait to get that first fill so that I can eat to live instead of constantly thinking about what I'm going to eat! <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/whY7fGx/"> <img border="0" src="<A href='http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/whY7fGx/weight.png">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/whY7fGx/weight.png"></a>
  2. Hey all! I am 5 days post op and is STARVING!! I go to my follow up appt. On Friday I hope he puts me on mushies. I need some substance!!
  3. I was banded 3/31. I feel great other than the incisions on my stomach. My trouble is I can't get enough protein in after drinking my ounce of water every 30 minutes I'm full or can't get anything else down. I'm also very afraid of vomiting while newly stitched. Anyone else having these issues
  4. My surgery is tomorrow also!!! I can't wait... I have lost a total of 19lbs on the pre-op diet!! Let your new life begin call 1800 get thin!!! I've been singing this song for weeks now!!! The journey Starts TOMORROW.
  5. I'm on day 7 and I am down 11lbs... strictly liquid diet.... I would wish the diet on my worst enemy.... but it is part of the process....Half way there and I really don't even care if I lose anymore weight just as long as I don't gain another pound. Good luck!
  6. I started my pre-op diet on the 17th.... I am on strictly liquids...This liquid diet has been and up and down emotional rollercoster for me. The first 4 days went by and I was okay, but once I hit day 5 I strarted feeling really emotional (crying for no reason at all) I have no idea why... I am currently working and going to school full-time... I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. It could be that I am on the move constantly and only having liquids.... However, I wrote to encourage you guys to keep up the hard work I now have 7 more days to go... I'm half way there... now when I get hungry I drink soup or a protein shake and the hunger pains go away. The way I kinda see it is I have eaten enough in my life time... it's time to take my life back.... I want to eat to live not live to eat... Be encouraged....God Bless you all March bansters!!!
  7. I too am scheduled for March 31st! I am so excited! I was told to lose 10lbs by surgery date... I am determined to try my hardest to get this 10lbs off. I will keep u all in my prayers! March 31st is OUR time to shine! I wish u all the best of luck and hopefully by summer we will have a remarkable difference in our health!
