I know the feeling Kanda! I was working out religiously pre surgery but since having the surgery, and the two weeks off for recovery, I've been less than motivated. I'm going to work out tonight, I'll let you know if I've had any success in the motivation department.

Hi Shells - This will get better, I'm sure it's just the underlying emotions of Jean Shopping and then the high of finding a swim suit. Then you have to consider actually traveling to San Diego... You have plenty on your mind to keep you on the emotional roller coaster. I'd say, just relax tonight after work and have some 'you' time. Hopefully, you'll feel better soon

I can't put my finger on just how and what I actually feel, maybe something will kick in for us tomorrow?
I'm naming my band Bambi...LOL!!

Good luck! Im 4 days post op and ive named my band Lola, because whatever Lola wants, Lola gets! be it gas-ex, water, broth, walking, walking, walking! i hope you are doing well! keep us updated.

Jane, I know exactly how you feel. Being the "fat/pretty face/super nice" girl my whole life, my boobs helped me discover my femininity. I can't explain it either, only that I wouldn't feel right if I no longer had a nice rack. That is what got me the male attention when I was in the bar scene, that is what helped me realize that I have options when it comes to my love life. It is vitally important to me that I don't become flat chested (doubtful) or have saggy gross tube sock boobs, this is my real fear. I have been working out to make sure that my skin has the best opportunity to not embarrass me. Haha. Anyways, it's nice to see that other women identify themselves with their boobs like I do. Thank you for sharing.

Mylynn, tell the doctor about it. Many times the doctors don't know that their office staff are falling down on the job. I agree, this is completely unacceptable and unless she wants to lose you as a patient, she needs to make sure her staff is following thru.

Lack of food or food from your normal diet, your brain can become tired. And there may be underlying stress that you aren't fully aware of.

I did that once right before surgery and a couple of times afterwards. I am normally a very outgoing, happy person - we all can just have a bad day. This too shall pass. Trust me!

After reading all of the issues with the pre-op diet I am hoping I will be able to function properly during my work days. I am starting my diet on the 22nd with surgery on the 29th. I believe I am more stressed about my emotional being that week than I am about the pending surgery! I am brand new to this blog, however I believe there is great support here!

OMG, Dr. Nurmil was my surgeon, too. Don't you just love everyone in the office? They are the best!
I was banded 8/19/2011 and have found it to be most rewarding. I have lost 90 pounds and still have another 50 to go to reach my goal.
Best of luck..

My date with the band is the 20th:) and I'm a TR patient as well, good luck and keep updating.

Good luck with that. Can't say that I'm looking forward to two weeks of preop diet but I am sure looking forward to the operation. So I wish you all the luck in the world!

Definitely sucks. There is something about having this surgery that makes people think they have rights to say this stuff. I've lost nearly 30 pounds in 2 months and my mom actually said I was lying to her about the weight loss because she can't see any change in me. If she is serious and does start bugging you about choices, gently explain to her that you have a food plan you are following and if you are having a treat it means you worked it in and it's ok.

My first day was hard. My liquid diet is 1 Premire Protein for breakfast and 1 for lunch. Dinner I can have soup. Lots and Lots of water in between. This was very hard for me because I was used to just eating anything and everything. My 2nd day was better not by much but I know as the days pass it will be better. Today is my day 3 and I'm feeling great! Jumped on the scale this morning and lost 4 lbs. I know its only 4 lbs but I'm headed in the right directions. Keep Strong and best of luck to you!!!

this is great! keep tracking all of your measurements...you will need them when the scale doesn't cooperate!!! good luck to you:)

Hi Goal! I'm quite new to the site but like you am looking for support. All our our loved ones can be there for us to the best of their ability but sometimes you just need to talk to someone that is going thru the same things you are. I hope you find the support you are looking for! I am being banded in 16 days. I am just a bundle of questions and have found this site to be amazing.
Good luck!
