Congrats on your approval! It's very possible that he may feel jealous as you lose, but hey you'll be healthy right?! Maybe he needs some reassurance, but support is really important in this process. Some of us have it, some of us don't. I say do what you feel is best for you!

Hello! My name is Sarah I'm 26 and was just banded May 14th so I'm about 4 days post op. I live in Collinsville, il which is about 15 minutes east of St. Louis. Looking for anyone who wants to chat and swap stories!

I agree. thats even good for anyone with reflux before the band...eat at 6 or 630pm and dont go to bed until like 11pm.
Now if you go workout a couple hours after eating...that would help as well.

@CanCan - Yes, it's horrifying. But not just the sugar. Also all those chemicals in there. I'm so glad that I did the challenge, making me aware of these hidden 'poisons'
@Dawalsh - You're right, it's hard to stay in control. Especially in the beginning, but it's getting way easier after you've survived the first 3-4 days...and then you'll be so proud of yourself for being/eating healthy

are you regretting because your hungry and your sore?
if so, please understand it will get better...pre and post op are tough, there is no doubt about it.....i dont know whom comes into this and think its a cake walk...i have read one or two who are fine but for the majority, its difficult..keep sipping and resting and move about as much as you can...this is and was a wonderful thing you had done, once you start feeling better, you will realize it also..congrats on your surgery

I wanted to add that I am so proud of myself some people may think this is an easy way out but it isn't this is very hard at first knowing it will soon get easier makes it even better. Wishing everyone else good luck on your own band journey !! An thanks in advance for looking at my results.

Poor thing praying for you.

Good luck on your journey!

Your body will make strange noises at the most inappropriate times. As much as I read it, chewing well and eating slow really are important! Always know where the nearest restroom is located in a restaurant just in case you get stuck or have a PB. Don't compare your progress to anyone else's. Good luck on your journey!

I am thankful for my band it does have its ups and downs but its all worth it in the end the negative side to me is going out to eat with friends u have to b really careful because your food can get stuck and it can be embarrasin there is food u want to eat that you realy wished you could but thats what got me in the situation im in so im thankful i cant eat like that anymore
