Take a deep breath...remember why you had the surgery and focus on the day in front of you. Everyone has those struggles, you can do it -- it gets easier. Just focus on the day...not the food. And remember that your body really does need time to heal - especially on the inside. I have faith in you, and I know you want this to work. Be strong! Jim Banded 3/30/11 - down 48 pounds

You're not alone! I had my lap band put in a week ago Thursday...and everyday is a grind. I'm having to remind myself why I got this surgery in the first place, how I wound up here and what the goal is. Keep strong, know that you're NOT alone...and it's a shared experience with your friends on here (even the bad stuff..lol). We'll get through this and be better for it!

I'm getting ready for my lap band surgery this thursday...have that butterfly in stomach feeling I haven't had in years. Still thinking about how I got here (6'5" 400lbs.)
