Omg my mom is a nut case!!! She always tries to bring out the worst. She constantly puts ppl down. Calls me, this person is stupid this person don't need to wear that. You don't need to do this, you don't need to do that. Four days post op I was starving and had 1/2 cup Tomato Soup went down fine no problem. I'm on a liquid diet until tomorrow. She was like your supposed to be on clear liquid only your messing up your dumb why did you get this if your not following the rules. Last time I checked Tomato Soup was a liquid. Then she was like all nice hey you want me to ride with you to the doctor to keep you company?? I was like sure. Then she spilled the Beans I can't wait to ask the Dr if you were Supposed to eat tomatoe soup. I was like hell no this is my deal you can stay home if your gonna pull embarrising crap like that. I just don't get her she says I just don't want you to mess yourself up. I think its about controlling what I do. She tried to talk me out of getting the band. Still says stuff like I know a girl who has this band it does'by work for her at all. Your gonna have creepy saggy skin. Ya that girl comes to my job and eats a delux nachos and a sweet tea. I wonder why she is still big??? I'm sorry I just had to vent. Thank goodness I have I have supportive friends and a very supportive husband. He gets so frustrated with her. Babe she always tries to bring you down why do you still even talk to her? Because she is my mom. I just want her support with this band not her trying to snitch me out to my doctor for some type of personal satisfaction. : (

I was banded 6-12-12 I'm down 39 lbs I want to get under 300 soon I have 16 lbs to go. I've been loosing about 2 lbs a week I get my first fill 7-27-12. I'm healing well and love my band so far. I eat off of a saucer plate now and get full. I still have problems sometimes with saying bye bye to my plate even though I'm so so full. I'm working on it my husband helps me he says babe your head hungry your driven to finish your plate go throw it away. He is So supportive.

I'm 321 from 355 I can't wait to say good bye to 300's good job everyone!!!

Thank you very much!!

I still love her and will still get my hair cut by her

I want a budd : ( I have a co worker with the gastric bypass but its just not the same. I also know a younger girl with the band but she isn't even following the rules and is totally immature! I am 330 lbs 29 years old with 2 kids and 2 step kids. Im married with a wonderful husband but he also is clueless and eats me out of house and home. I need someone or more to share my journey with.

I felt the same way I was 355 lbs when I started so I love love food. I was freaking out the night before surgery6-12-12. Now I'm a week post op and I'm on mushie foods now I'm still healing. I have been so pre occupied on making sure I'm following my diet and re focusing my attention to doing things right. Has it been hard yes have I been frustrated yes. But I've lost 30 lbs since my pre op post op diet. I rushed to get a side of mashed potatoes when I got put on mushies. I could only eat a little side but they were the best! I ate a little oatmeal this morning and a little chicken salad and tonight a little ribet with the rest of my potatoes. I get full faster and I'm eating yummy foods. I'm trying to learn to eat slow and enjoy the taste. The foods are still really good. I was also able to wear my old pants to work this morning. It's totally worth it! And if all else fails you can always get your band unfilled and go back to the old way. But I doubt you would want to so that when you start seeing the new sexy you. And if you want a little wine with your Pasta drink it. One time won't hurt when your in a special occasion most ppl cheat at holidays and vacation anyways. What would be the difference banded or not. Good luck I hope I helped ease your mind a little.

Wow this sight is amazing yall are so supportive. I didn't move in with my mom until I was 11 my grandma pretty much raised me while my mom drank and slept with all the married men in town. Now she is trying to run my life. Says I'm going to loose weight and cheat or leave my husband because I'm just like her. Well I'm nothing like her. I have custody of both if ny children I am there for them 100 % I don't drink or party or leave them or anything. She tells me I'm going to get skinny and basically be like her. I refuse to be anything like her. Even though it is a deep seeded fear as being fat all my life and not getting lots if male attention. But I like to think I will stay very faithful to my husband and make my family even stronger for my children. Omg she gets in my head ya'll!! I think she is jealous of my life I really do. Thanks for yall listening to me vent. I'm going to let her go and watch her look stupid and dumb. I'm not ashamed of what I have done I'm proud. I've lost 27 lbs and have a lot more to go. She has never held me back and in the end I do what I want and she can't stand it!

I was banded on May 25, 2010 and last night was awful. I was wondering if Constipation is something that lasts just the first week or longer. If longer, do you take laxatives often or just fiber?

Put my seat belt on easily
Push back my plate without guilt
Eat healthy
Have more intimacy with my hubby
Cross my legs
Shop in the Jr section or rue 21
Ride roller coaster
Water park rides
Wear sexy night gowns
Get off blood pressure meds
Completely clean out my closet maybe make some curtains out if my old clothes lol
Be able to wear my hair cute cause some cuts just don't look good on fat ppl
Run ya know incase I ever get Attacked
Fit through small spaces like what if I wanted to go cave exploring I'd get stuck
Not have to embarrassingly ask for a seatbelt extention on a plane.
Not breaking down my furniture. You can tell what side of the couch and bed I'm on. What about yall what do you look forward in doing?

I'm so sorry lapband lala this is tragic. I watched your video and feel your pain. It must feel like your loosing your best friend. I wish their was something I could do. I just recently got banded Tuesday. I couldnt imagine. Your so strong I've never been below 200 so it would be devestating to loose then gain back. I hope that you can remain strong and not fall prey to this horrid disease. Obesity its evil and it always in your mind nagging you to eat bad stuff more stuff. Stay strong!! I hope everything works out.

Yes I feel like my husband has never met the real me yet. I can't wait to get some confidence back. Even though we met and married when I was big I want him to have that hot wife he deserves. ; )

Well guys I'm alert enough to post. I'll give a play by play. I went in at eight they were very quick to get me in. They are so nice and understanding about your nerves. They put in an iv made me pee in a cup just to make sure I wasn't prego lol. My tubes are tied no trouble there. Took off my jewelry and ring ext.. wheeled me back gave me happy juice. They wheeled me on operating room on a stretcher. I was awake to move to operating table. Then I got a shot and out I went. I woke up to not being able to breath as they pulled the tube from my mouth. That was a bit scary. Then I awoke again in the recovery. Yes I was in pain and very nauseous but they quickly gave me lots of pain meds and fenergrin. I had to swallow this barium so they could see me drink it ess pretty cool watching that in x ray. Then took out my iv discharge instructions and home I went.gas bubble moving around. Most ppl toot I've been belching. Gas ex strips pain meds fenergrin I'm good to go guys. I still havnt been up yet. My doc said I need to move around tomorrow. My husband is super man for sure. It hurts but I know the results are gonna be good. Goodluck guys! And thanks for the support and if you have anymore questions let me know. I know how scary it is. Oh and I feel like I did 1 million crunches then someone punched me in the tummy. And my throat is very dry!!!

You can visit YouTube and many ppl out their pre op shopping list and show you what they bought it was really helpful for me. I got the chocolate delight Adkins sheaks nit bad and they have a coffe flavores in to for Breakfast. 3 oz lean meat a day plus two cups of veggies per day lightz chicken or beef broth sugar free hello and sugar free popsicles are free you. An have as much as you want. Meat chicken breast tender loin pork Canadian bacon egg whites beef Jerky I would nibble on beef jerkey through the day to keep by tummy at bay and I woud eat pork rines to eas my carb crunchy cravings. Their is a fee more things . But the YouTube really helped me just type in liquid pre op lap band and tons of choices pop up. Good luck I hope it helps. The dic said my liver looked great yesterday when I had my surgery.

Well I'm getting ready to go in for my very first surgery. I'm nervous and exited all at once wish me luck! I'll try to let yall know how I feel. Here we go.

Well I've been scheduled for surgery at 8:15 am in the morning 6-12-12 I'm super nervous I've never been cut on before so I'm getting jitters for sure! I've already lost 23 lbs from the liquid diet I've been on for two weeks so I'm sure my doctor will be happy. I'm a June bander too! I just turned 29 on 6-9 so this is a good present. Oh and just incase any one hasn't heard of banded Wendy on YouTube her videos are very helpful!! And skymoon's videos
