  1. Congrats!! I cant wait to be banded after reading so many success stories! Keep up the good work
  2. Im 24 and getting banded on sept 10. I feel the same way. Its like im beating myself up for not being "strong" enough to do this on my own and being in my 20s I feel judged like people think I am taking the easy way out. But like you I just cant trust myself to make the right decisions. I have too many ill do it tomorrow moments and im ready for the weight to come off and stay off!
  3. I bought pure protein whey powder and on the back it says to drink with your meals. I am fixing to be on my pre surgery liquid diet. I thought these shakes were the meal replacement. Am I drinking the protein powder and a meal replacement shake?
  4. September 10 for me I cant wait!!
  5. Does it feel like peanut butter stuck in your throat I am nervous about stuck episodes
  6. Is it normal that I feel more nervous about all the foods ill never get to eat again then the actual surgery? Its mixed emotions of excited and a little depressed at the sane time
  7. Thank you so much for the support!! I am relieved to see that I am not the only one who felt like this. I want to do more things with my husband and be more adventurous without feeling the embarrassment and I want to keep up with my two year old son. My dr said I was a low BMI too I am starting this journey at 227 lbs but I am 5'4 and dont carry it well and it has affected my health now. Hypertension and joints are starting to hurt. I am on my feet12 hours a day at the hospital and I just look around and see people twice my age who dont even flinch when it comes to taking the stairs 6 flights down or running around for 12 hours straight dealing with different situations. I am determined to get healthy again before I wake up a few years from now 100lbs heavier! Again thank you so much for the support!
  8. Im 24 married with 1 son full time CNA for the hospital and nursing student. I get banded sept 10
  9. Im 24 and live in brunswick ga I am getting banded sept 10. How was the surgery?
  10. I am getting banded September 10 and I am so nervous. I am so ready to have my life back under control and enjoy being in my 20's and stop hiding in my house because im to embarrassed to be around people.
  11. I know pre op is full liquids and protein shakes but I am confused about after surgery I was told shakes are to thick so how are we getting protein I have a protein poweder that mixed with milk would be technically a shake but im confused about post op diet
  12. Yay! So happy for you. I get banded on september 10 and I feel the same way like a kid before Christmas eve! I would like to subscribe to your threads and keep up with your weight loss journey
  13. I'm getting banded in September and I've been curious about what kind of supplements I should buy does anyone have any good suggestions of products or places to get them
  14. Hi my name is Jessica. I am still awaiting insurance approval but if all goes well i will be banded in January. I am so excited but so nervous as well. I am 220lbs and i am hoping to get down to 130lbs. I have a 17 month old son and I want to reverse this hypertension and live to see him grow up. Any advice would be great! After getting the band is it like a constant struggle and war between your head and stomach? I am a bored eater and don't have very good portion control. It doesn't help that my husband is so skinny and can eat whatever he wants which makes temptation pretty hard for me. I hope this is the right choice for me Sent from my DROID4 using LapBandTalk Sent from my DROID4 using LapBandTalk
