  2. I've had to do the pre op diet twice now. My surgery got cancelled the first time. My new date is April 8, and I started yesterday. I can tell you that it does get easier after the first three days. The cravings are UNREAL at first. You feel awful, etc. hang in there for the first few days! Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.

  12. This is me, at 250. I'm 5'7" and if I'd taken this pic sideways you'd see I carry it ALL in my stomach. Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.
  13. No, it's just that my doc doesn't want me to build unnecessary muscle right now. Not right before surgery. He also didn't want me injuring myself suddenly going to a gym when I hadn't been. And your story is totally encouraging. . Thank you for sharing the idea. I LOVE to swim! Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.
  14. Thanks! Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.
  15. I LOVED this post. My stomach flips out when I'm stressed so I now know to expect this after banding. Thank you!! Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.
  16. So my surgeon wants me to lose five more lbs than I already have on the 700 cal pre-op diet, or surgery might not happen. PLEASE help! Quickest way you know to lose that weight!
  17. Honestly my face is the prettiest it's ever been. Since I got big, my face filled out nicely and now I don't have such a pointy face for lack of a better term. Everything used to be so sharp. I'm going to really miss that when I lose weight. All of my weight is in my stomach. My back has no rolls, I don't have flabby arms ... I get asked allll the time if I'm pregnant because I look like I am. Honestly it happens about once a week. So I'm 5'7" and the most I've ever weighed was 255. I'm hoping to get down to 165. But yes, my face is much prettier now..., well I think so anyways!!! Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.
  18. What is EGD? Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.
  19. Gummies only have a fraction of the Vitamins that chewables do. Just be aware of that. Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.
  20. For your shoulder try a really warm wet washcloth against it. Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.
  21. Not yet! Nov 5! I'm just a surgery veteran. Send me a private message and ill keep you up to date! Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.
