Congratulations Kristina! I am 1 week behind you; keep me posted on your progress. Without this surgery, my life would have been over way too soon!! Thanks again for sharing

I agree, you are an inspiration! Congratulations on your success, 1 day at a time.

I agree, I would have a panic attack on line; am I going to fit??? I went tubing last year and got stuck on the rocks; I couldnt move or get up. It was sooooooo embarrassing; but not today. Keep up the great work; it inspires me!!

Me either!!

Today is one week! I am soooooooooooooooo excited!! You all have given my alot to think about: clothes, rides at the amusement park and even dips. Until you experience what we experience, the food addiction, nobody can understand. They can be understanding, but they just dont understand. I DONT miss "hunting" for food while thinking about a binge: the perfect meal, which of course never happened and only led to terrible discomfort after overeating...AGAIN!! Thanks everybody for your support and guidance. I couldnt do it without you.

I got banded last Wednesday, delayed 2 days due to the Hurricane There has been some minor discomfort, not much. I had much more discomfort walking out of a Chinese Buffet!! What I dont miss is the overeating and obsessing about food. I am so glad that I didnt overeat today My journey just started, but so far so good. I went on the liquid pre op and lost about 15 lbs. My weigh in at surgery was 301 on Wednesday. Today, 3 days later, its 290. I havents seen the 2's in along time!! Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences; it truly helps me!! Good luck to you all!!

Thats awesome! Keep up the gr8 work!
