congrats to you!!!

SIngle School teacher, 33. Never married, no kids. Banded two weeks.

Wow I love this site. You guys make every day a little easier. I truly am thankful for all of the support!!! And woohoo to all of you for making it thru another day of temptations BANDED AND PROUD BABY!

I had the ultimate test of willpower today. I am sitting in a faculty meeting around 3:45, and we have about 50 pizza delivered, every topping, every type. They sit four pizzas at every meeing table. I wanted a slice so bad, but i knew it would only get stuck, make me hurl, and probably make my already tender tummy hurt even worse. i have not had to throw up yet and I know my will power will probably be way less once i know my incisions have healed and it is less likely that i will damage my band. BUT today right as I drink another bowl of beef broth i fell damn good about myself. ·

hello my fellow 8/30 twins. TOday I was hungry. I ate my broth and a shake. waited 15 minutes and decided to have another shake and bowl of broth. Well silly me i had two spoons of broth and a sip of the shake. Guess I have my Breakfast for tomorrow. And now the gas is killing me. THis is going to take some getting used to. BUT, I know I am lucky. I had no back or shoulder pain just abdominal gas. and pain at the incision and port sites.

Good luck my fellow banders we will get thru this

How did your surgery go yesterday? My husband teaches near you in Sugarland.

I feel pretty good I was very sore but I just put a heating pad over my stomach and I feel much better.

Hello, my name is Diane. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning. A little nervous, a little excited. Things have progressed very quickly from my decision to persue the Lap Band to my pending surgery. I guess I'm lucky in that regard but it all seems a little surreal.

GOOD LUCK!!!

wow a written test that one i had not heard of before.

I won't start my pre-op diet until August 13th but I've been making Unjury Vanilla Protein Shakes for breakfast with a few strawberries blended in. It's very tasty! After surgery I won't be able to have milk or the added fruit for a while but I will be able to have the unjury with just Water. I haven't tried it with water just yet. I started with the vanilla and unflavored and I'll order the chocolate and starter kit this week.

I really enjoy the unjury shakes. I have only had them with water. I have had the Vanilla, Chocolate and chicken flavor. Not bad!!! I also ordered the opurity chewable vitamins and they are OK.

I am on Day 3 of Pre-op diet. I had a chocolate shake for Breakfast, The chicken Soup shake for lunch, and salmon with a salad for dinner. Thank goodness for my Crystal light peach tea and my nightly cup of canteloupe. So far so good.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you Lucie. I got to meet Dr. Reilly when he did my EGD and he seemed very nice. The whole staff seemed very nice. I am just worried that I do not have enough recovery time. As a teacher I went ahead and took the first Thursday and Friday of school off. Luckily, I have Labor Day off the Monday, but I have to back to work on Tuesday. Did you feel any pain or weakness?

I just joined this site tonight but my surgery date is August 30!

Hi Juli, my name is Tori. I am due to be banded on August 30th. I am a bit worried too about recovery. I am an elementary Math/Science Teacher in Sugar Land. My doctor is Dr. Reilly thru True Results. Good Luck to you!

hello everyone. I am a Fourth Grade School Teacher and I am having the Lap Band Surgery on August 30, 2012. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I am 5'8" and 280 lbs. I look forward to being able to run around with my students and squat down. I need to finish my profile but i was so anxious to get on here and start talking to others; I forged ahead. LOL

Wish me luck!!!
