Hey everyone! It's Mimi the 20 year old Jersey girl. Last time I was on here I was browsing and talking about getting approved. Now I'm 2 weeks and 6 days banded, time flies! I just wanted to share my story to anyone who is interested. I have a loonnnggg way to go so I am documenting my journey on youtube. Subscribe to Bandarina's YouTube I update every Tuesday. I hope to follow your journey as well -
I need to make a video about my psychological and emotional issues with weight and weight loss, ASAP. The closer I get to surgery date the more I feel like I just want to stay fat, it's what I've always known. Stay tuned

Sadakat sevdiğinin kalbini tutup avucunda tutmaktır ama sadakat gerektiğinde o yüreği fırlatıp yere atmaktır!

If the purpose of chewing food 30 times bfor swallowing is to make sure it is liquid-like consistency so it can go down smoothly how can that liquid not slide through the opening of the band like other slider foods? If you chew your 4 oz of food to ice cream or mashed potato consistency I don't understand how it can stay in your stoma, keep u full, and not slide through? Curious to kno the technicalities behind this?

really need to make a youtube video soon. some people are under the impression that I was banded 4 days ago LOL

My surgeon does not require a 2 week pre op liquid diet. Should I do one anyway? What do you think?

I am going to keep a long story short. I was approved for the lap band surgery and was suppose to have surgery on May 24th. I recently found out that my surgeon only uses the realize band and I got real bummed. For personal reasons I just do not want the realize band. I'd rather have no band than the realize band. So I had two options. 1- switch to a surgeon who did use the allergan band, or 2- stay with my surgeon and get the sleeve. Well luckily the surgical coordinator at my surgeon's office spoke to him and we found a solution. My surgery has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for either the first or second week of June at a different hospital that DOES carry the allergan band. I AM SOOOO HAPPY! I was afraid this would stall me and cause complications but it only took a phone call to fix. Ahh I am super excited. I'll be banded in less than 3 weeks If anyone wants to follow my journey on youtube feel free to subscribe to me: Bandarina's Journey or add me on facebook: Bandarina's Facebook It is much easier to keep in touch on either of those. I love making new lap band friends -
I need an accountability buddy who is going to be hard on my ass LOL message me if you dare to exchange numbers haha

LMFAO I love how I text my cousin and she doesn't answer so I assume she is sleeping. Then I go on Tumblr and see she posted something 6 minutes ago! just wow.

might find out when my new surgery date is today
can't wait until the office opens! -
I've been in bed all day having cold sweats and terrible "gallbladder pain" but I have no gallbladder! I read online that sometimes some people still feel like they are having an attack even though their gallbladder was removed. Thank God I had perks left over from surgery. Anyone else ever feel like this?

I don't understand all this drama about people not talking to others or cliques and all that jazz. No one person, or people, owe you or I ANYTHING. If someone doesn't say Hello, so what? Maybe there is a reason behind it, and if there isn't, oh well. You can't force people to like you, or talk to you, or pay attention to you.

In case you weren't aware I won't be having surgery on the 24th, instead I am rescheduling for the first or second week of June.

should I buy like 3 bottles of each vitamin I need from random places or get 1 bottle of each from bariatric advantage for the same price? Hmmm. I think I need Calcium Citrate with D, Iron, B12, Multivitamin, Biotin... anything else?
