Great accomplishment!!! 40lbs is really good! Ps.. Are u located in MA? The scenic photo looks familiar Keep up the good job! Best wishes

I was banded 4 days ago.. Spent the night in the hospital and was hooked up to an iv. Up until yesterday I felt hydrated enough... I am seriously struggling with drinking Water. It passes just fine, but it makes me nauseas. I've tried crystal light and find that to be worse... Any kind words of advice are really welcomed!! Th

I too was banded last week on thurs.. Have shortness of breath but mostly When going up the stairs... This post has me concerned. Please let us know if everything is ok... Sending Blessings ur way...

I tried cold turkey to give up coffee! Caffeine withdrawals were horrible! Not to mention at work i park in the same parking lot where there is a Dunkin Donuts. Drank it fAithfully for 3 yrs! Is there any way for me to continue drinking my morning coffee?! My job depends in it!!! Lol

Thanks for all the positive feedback! Looking foward to my 1st cup of caffeine free coffee ever!

The time has come for my surgery! 2 months ago I wished it was immediately, yet right now I do not feel fully ready or prepared! Have everything I need, but it may just b that I am nervous... Well, surgery is at 11... Wish me luck!! :)

Thank u everyone!!! Just got home right now.. In allot of pain.. But the dry heaving is the worst part!!!! Glad it's over... Looking forward to a better tomorrow !!

Surreal feeling right now. Scheduled for surgery in 10days and after 5 months of wishing it would just "hurry up" and get here, i wish I can slow down time.. Nurse told me today doctor scheduled me overnight which was a shock since all along I would hear it was "same day" surgery and discharge. I have a 13 yr old son and a 16month daughter at home that I'm starting to wonder if I will be able to heal ok without taking too much time from them. I have not found protein shakes i like and have done zero preparations since I found out I was approved a week ago. "case of cold feet" right now

Aww I hear ya!! I battle with the selfish guilt trip as well!!! I can't wait until I am 2wks post op and I can look back and smile... As of right now it's such an anxiety for me. I have my fiancé at home but he is a truck driver and was declined time off due to the busy season we are having... So I am looking at doing this by myself for the most part... I have not told my son yet as he worries allot and I'm afraid it will disrupt his learning at school... So not only do I have to be strong for me, but also be strong for them!! Sooo much to do.. Soo little time...
