Thanks babycakes! I have my protein shakes ready.

Good Luck with your new begining!

I never thought that way either. I'm doing this for myself and no one else. I know what my goals are and I will make it!!

AWESOME! Way to go!!

I was banded on 2/3! Everyone is here to help...

I felt the same way. Excited and Terrified at the same time but now I know I made the right decision. Think positive and why you made this decision. I also joined this site for support and you will not be sorry. Good luck!

I will be headed to South Carolina tomorrow. This will be my first road trip since being banded. It will be interesting trip but hopefully my husband will drive most of the way and I can sleep. I don't want to be tempted to snacking. I just want to keep with my three set meals a day. I know once we arriving in SC I will be fine. I'm just worried about the actual drive there and back. Wish me luck!

Congrats! I was banded 2/3/12. You sound like you are doing great. Just keep up the sipping. Good luck!

Luckily I haven't experience any sticking. I chew my food until it just slides down and wait 1 minute before taking another bite. Good luck and just chew and take your time eating. Enjoy every single bite since we don't get many bites. LOL

I've been using baby lotion everymorning after I shower.

Welcome and good luck!

The pain was bad but its kind of like child birth. You know it hurt but you forget. LOL The other thing I wish I knew ahead of time is ahh how can I say this... No #2 for days... I thought something was wrong with me but you are not eating anything so no #2. LOL

Wow that is awesome!

Some foods make you gassier than others. I get very gassy after a protein shake. I know it is very uncomfortable but just keep trake of what you eat and see if it is the food choice. Good luck!

I didn't get a fill my first visit either. Same situation for me too. I read someone has had their band for over a year and never received a fill. My doc did tell me if you don't need then don't get it. Good luck...

I had to fill out a questionaire and then the had to talk to a doc. Just like readytogoforit said be honest.

Your doctor should give you a list of foods you will need post surgery. You will be on liquids like broth, water etc... Good luck!

My doc told me no bread at all. I haven't eaten any.

Great job! I've just started my journey but can't wait to get closer to the end! Thanks for sharing, you are in inspiration!

I was not required to do a liquid pre-op diet, instead my Dr had me do the South Beach SuperCharge Phase 1. He didn't believe in it because you will be on a liquid diet after surgery. Yes it is to shrink your liver because it has to be lifted out of the way to get to your stomach.

Wow! Congrats and keep up the hard work... I hope my success will meet your in a year!

They have it for Android too. Welcome!!

Use the BBCODE. I have not gotten a fill. I had an appointment on the 2/28 and I did not need one at that time. I have another appoinment on 3/20 so we will see.

Everything is going Great and I couldn't be happier! Make sure you are copying the code for blogs.
