  8. Anyone use instagram to track their Lapland journey? If so, I want to follow you!
  9. You'll balance out. Those fills will help. Bandster hell is a very real thing. Just be patient and focus! You can do this.

  11. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!
  12. I was scheduled to take a cruise to the Bahamas in April of last year. I opted to wait until June for my surgery. Though a cruise is a lot different than the travel you're talking about, I wanted to be cooped up in my house during my liquid diet. That way no one would see me cranky and aggravated and there would be no temptation. Lol
  13. I completely agree that it's normal. I have an anxiety disorder and was going crazy. You'll be okay though!!!
  14. Lol! I watched YouTube surgeries, too. A year out I still do from time to time. Still freaks me out as much as it did the first time. Lol
  15. Fill is the saline adjustments they put inside the band to make it tighter or looser.

  18. Awesome. Was just wondering. I had a friend who tried it, but she did eat the foods. She said it was very pricy.
  19. I've been struggling with constipation lately too. I'm thinking about a one daily. Milk of magnesia always helps me though.
  20. Congrats!!!! I'm glad you're sticking to your choice, regardless. I had zero real support when I made my decision, and a year later, I'd still do it again.
  21. Nervous is totally normal. Welcome, and congrats!
  22. You're the only person who's going to determine your success. With that fact in mind, do you allow it to be liberating or scary?
