DeAna N

how sweet....... thank you so much for the kind words I am so excited today I can barely stand it. I kept trying to figure out why this has me so thrilled but last night I was laying in my bed trying to ignore my grumbling stomach and it hit me I feel like dealing with my weight over the years has been so hopeless and I had just given up and now I am so HOPEFUL so I'm not scared I am ready to get moving on to my new skinny healthier self I will let you know how I am doing

Good luck to the two today!!! DeAna, our group is next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot settle down today!! LOL

Your very welcome I just thought it would be a little easier to see your band buddie kind of nice to know someone is going throught same stuff as you at the same time. Thanks so much for participating.

Irhodes46, Mom2 4kidos, MszShaye, farmgirl04, ErinO'Donnell, kimeo99 good luck today and congrats

me too I have had surgery before but for some reason I am nervous about this one I guess because I worked so hard to get to this day. I am working tomorrow I just need something to occupy my time if I sit at home I will go crazy and it's easier for me to be on the clear liquid diet when I am constantly busy Good luck 15AUG band buddies we are almost there

I am so sorry for your loss I am praying for you and your family Hang in there

We are band Buddies====I am having surgery Weds also Good Luck

Thank you! You all are seriously awesome! I do not know anyone personally who has had this done, so I have felt pretty alone in this. It's nice to know I'm not!

A few things....first, a side effect of anesthesia is the blues. Believe it or not...I've experienced it many times after surgeries. I just felt like crying, no reason why. Also, after lap band, your diet has changed durastically and you no longer can take comfort in food when you're stressed, especially right post-op. I've heard a lot of people feel like they're mourning the loss of food. You've got big changes ahead, and that can be very overwhelming. Add in the fact that the post-op liquid diet is not fun an all.
All you can do is take it one day, rather, one decision, at a time. You CAN do this if you want to. I've done things on this journey that I never thought I could do. Reach out for support, this is a great forum to do that.
I wish you all of the success in the world!

Your very welcome I just thought it would be a little easier to see your band buddie kind of nice to know someone is going throught same stuff as you at the same time. Thanks so much for participating.

Hello, congratulations and good luck with your surgery. I have my surgery on Wednesday but Im still anxious and nervous all the same. Im going to pray for all of us.

6 days post-op and back at work. Down 20 lbs since Pre-op diet and feeling pretty good. Still having issues with some gas pains but am moving around and taking Gas-X. Hard to believe that a yogurt and applesauce cup were the only two things I've had today and I am FULL. This band is going to end up being my life saver!!

I was banded Aug. 3!! Each day is getting better.........

Mine was on August 9th! Still recovering, but so happy about my decision!

DeAna N, in case I don't get a chance, thank you for your service to this thread and good luck on Wednesday!
