HICK CHICK '99

I was banded march 9th & I recently joined the gym with my mom. (I hate to work out) my mom is my motivator. I am so sore. I really need encouragement to keep going. I have lost 20#'s since my surgery & go for my 1st fill April 17th.

I had my surgery 4 days ago. I had a hiatal hernia that had to be repaired as well & it hurts MUCH worse than my band. I am pretty much living off of broth & protein shakes. I am hungry & thinking about moving on to thicker foods. Would that be a bad idea?

Me too!! I had surgery Friday morning & now I'm bloated up like a puffer fish. Congrats to you on your surgery. I just keep thinking positive like just think how much weight we are going to lose.

Checking in & VERY nervous. Please pray for me .....

Surgery tomorrow. I am excited & nervous about the pain. Please pray for me.

Yes it is. Surgery tomorrow. Excited but worried about pain.

Thanks everyone. I have never felt such support. This is a big step in my life. I have 3 year old twin boys & I want to be able to play & run with them.

Wellborn clinic is doing mine. I'm a cash pay so I got in fast. Ready for my quality of life to be better.

Had my consultation today. It went well. Friday is the BIG DAY ... getting nervous.

Please someone give me a list of what to buy to get me started. I have surgery Friday (march 9th) & want to get stocked up before then. Like what kind of liquids I need to buy & what kind of mushy food do I buy or make & so on......I am new & have no idea how to get started. Thanks. :-)

Will I still be able to ride my horse? Riding is my life & now I'll be getting thin enough to ride longer & more often. (I tell my horse "ranger" I promise I'll lose weight for you) I can't imagine how miserable he feels. I would love to continue to ride.....

Hello I am having surgery this coming Friday (march 9th) & getting nervous on what to expect. I am currently 290lbs & 5'4". Not sure how much I'll lose.
