My loss has been slower than some because I need both knees replaced but I finally made it to ONEDERLAND!!!!! It has been a long time since I've seen a one on that scale. So glad I made the decision to embark on this journey!

I did it pre op. did not use it all and have use for it.

I have a case of opti-fast (12 vanilla, 12 chocolate). If anyone is interested I will give it away if they want to pay for the shipping.

I was banded 11/27 and down 23 pounds. I had my first fill today

Wouldn't how much you weigh to start with affect how much you lose? I've always heard the smaller you are the harder to lose. Just curious...

I had surgery on the 27 th and have to do the clear liquids for 2 whole weeks. Energy level is very low. I would die for a protein shake!

I was banded on the 27th. This two weeks of clear liquids is definitly going to be hard. I keep telling myself that I should be able to live off body fat for 2 months. Lol. Good luck to all of us

Called my surgeon and he said go to hospital. Just said their going to keep me

Having dry heaves. This is horrible

What can I do if I feel like I'm going to be sick? I am 3 days post op

Just the terrible gas pains

Amy-how are you doing? Are you home? I feel horrible

Surgery went well. Still in hospital. Very very sore

Thank you everybody for all the good thoughts.

My surgery day is almost here. Have to be at the hospital at 11 am. I can't believe it! I'm quite sure I will get very little sleep tonight!

My surgery is Tuesday! I know without a doubt this is the right choice for me and hopefully for all of us. Good luck to everybody. Thanks for all the support

I know what you mean! Tuesday won't get here quick enough.

Thanks and same to you. We're all in this together

I'm doing pretty good. Woke up today and realized its one week away! The final countdown!!!!

I had some real food a couple times so far. If I get too bad I have a piece of cheese, an egg or a tiny bit of cottage cheese. Just a little does the trick

Congratulations! Good luck

I mixed half chocolate and half vanilla. Their growing on me. I found its better to drink it out of a glass instead of the straw
