it is normal for your mind to go crazy. I would say one more day I can do it. I gave up and just did it. I still struggle with my diet. But it is worth the weight drop. Stay strong if you want a new life. Yes we all say We are happy with are bodies. But it is alot of nice thing with being thinner. Good luck... Find someone close to talk to. Alot of peaple dont understand unless they had the surgery.

Could you have eating something that is stuck on top of the band?

All doctors have different diets and times. The most important thing is to get your protein in and fluids. You will not have room for carbs. You will not want them. Protein drinks will become your friend. My doctor want 4 drinks a day I could only get in 2-3. Seek out different brands and flavors. Watch the surgar and carb, People working out can have that not you. Sugar will make you sick after surgery. I did me and still does 3 month out. i just read alot on this page and learned alot. Seek out a support group or other tha have had the surgery. Good luck

I only told a few but the word got out. People see a big change they figure it out. Most are supportive. Some are judgemental.. Oh well I just tell the one that if they cooked for me I wouldnt of done it. That stops them.

Me too. My legs look like they are 80 years old. Good thing for tight pants. Fat or loose skin I will take the loose skin and save for plastic surgery to remove it all. Good luck.

Good for you. People dont understand. I hate when my little friends say all you have to do is stop eating. Wow never thought about that. I guess the hardest thing is saying I am not perfect, It isn't easy. Believe me alot of us are with you. This world is hard on large people, because they see us as imperfect. I am more perfect them, but not perfect. Good luck

Do you have a YMCA by you? they teach swimming. And they go by your pay so you may be able to go for free. Wear shorts and a tee-shirt. My YMCA is very understanding to money problems. I love to swim. Even if you cant most of the pools are not over your head and you can do exercises. The Class is free. i hope this helps. I work out on the steps.
