Everyone is scared going into this. Try not to worry so much. I'm sure you'll find somethings that you like and can tolerate with the band. Always take a multivitamin to help give your body what it needs. You'll be surprised at how your mind opens up to different foods once you've been without for so long. (aka-2weekliquid) I might be struggling now, but it will all be worth it in the end. Have a little faith sister!! Love ya!

So excited for my sister!

Welcome Mike!

I can't seem to get rid of all the gas. That's the only thing that's driving me crazy. I did really good most of the day, but whenever I drink something it seems to get worse. Ugh....ready for it to be gone. I am getting hungry! My hubby cooked a really good meal tonight and I soooo wanted some, but I wasn't about to risk it. I think I'm getting hungry because I'm not drinking enough protein. I just haven't been able to stomach them like I could. It seems to leave a yucky taste in my mouth all the time. Trying to keep hydrated, but it's hard.

Nope..never did that.

No I never did one. What exactly is it?

I'm sure you both will do fine. Good luck and keep us all posted.

Congratulations! This is the very first step in a long journey to become a more healthier you. Keep us posted!

Congrats! I can't wait until I'm at my half way mark!!

No....never did one. What exactly is it anyway?

I hope your guys are feeling a little better today. I'm just sooo tired and sore. Think I'm just gonna go back to bed. :/

Wow...that's great news! Glad things are going well for you!

The day is finally here...tomorrow is SURGERY DAY!! I have to be at the hospital by 9:30am. I'm a little nervous, but mostly sooo excited to be starting this new journey in my life. I know it's going to be tough, but I have this great community and supporting family and friends to help me. Please keep me and the other people getting banded tomorrow in your prayers!! Wish us luck!! :)

That's really exciting news!! So glad you got to ride whatever you wanted!! I too have felt that twinge of panic before I get on a ride. I'll be so happy when those days are GONE!! Congrats!!

I've had people say the same thing to me! How do you reply to that??! :/

You said everything I have been feeling. I too have always been told "You have a pretty face". Guess I can't wait for my body to catch up with my "pretty face"!!! I've had some comments like you also. It's frustrating, but I'm ready to show them!!

What is that I hear...walking around without sweating? I hope to be there one day...lol. Great job! Keep it up!

Bite the bullet and step on the scale. What will it hurt. If you gained, then you know you need to buckle down a bit and start fresh. If not.....then I would say you did great on that trip!! Good Luck to ya!

I'm 3 days away for surgery and not feeling nervous yet! I'm just excited to start this new life!!
