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

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

GOOD LUCK!!!

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

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!!!
