Hi there, I hope you get home today! I'm up and in some pain, so I took my pain meds.... I hear day 3 I a little easier, I hope so! Feel better!

Way to go! I was banded yesterday, I can't wait til march 4th, c how much I lost. Keep at it!

I'm officially banded! The CIBO Clinic was amazing! I'm in little pain only discomfort is across my should blades. My throat is terribly sore as well. I've been sipping tea since 2:30 when I got home. Bring on 145! Thank you all for sending me well wishes and your virtual support, so amazing!

Well, today is a day to getting back to a better me! I'm nervous, excited as u all understand.....can't believe it's finally here! Off I go........

Hi there, I didn't have to do the supervised diet, I'm in Ontario, Canada and the only choice I had was to take a 5 year 18k loan to pay for this. I will recover about 5k thru tax credit, but that's it. Now, on to your, so called aunt, &@, her, I have family like that. A few weeks back I went back home to visit, I hadn't seen my family in about a year, so I called the critical u know what's, and told hem I gained a **** ton of weight, I took the fun out of it for them! And u know what, we will have the last laugh, when u Do loose ur weight, u can killer her with kindness and guilt! Tell her because of her rudeness, and inconsiderate ness towards you, it was a motivator. In he end, u will conquer! Stay strong, stay on this forum. I'm off to get banded.....

Sorry on my preop I old eat, veggies and protein, but nothing else. Go shopping instead of football. Hugs.

What! No food? Why?

Well, I made it! Tomorrow is my big day. I faced many challenges on my pre-op, fender bender with my new car, traveling with an unpleasant colleague for a week. I only had a few cheats, minor ones, but still. Today I nested, lol, like I'm having a baby tomorrow. Cleaned out my cabinets, got rid of a bunch of stuff and filled them with broths, soups, jello, and protein shakes! Get ready, Get set, GO! 145 here I come!

Interesting, I never thought of naming it, hmmmmm.

You can do it! I made taco meat, they will have nachos, I will ave mine on a salad, I also took boneless, skinless chicken cubed it and made "wings". Tomorrow is my big day! Good luck!

I'm sooo thankful I don't have TOM, now more than ever.....eeeks!

Didn't u share with the doc hat w U were intolerance?

I lost nothing on my preop. I've got 5 days left

Wow amazing! Huge congratulations, and I can't wait to read it!

I can't wait to post my 1 month success. Congrats to you!

Find pics of the lighter you, always motivates me. Try new recipes. Www.skinnytaste.com. Good Luck

I'm not banded yet, but I was told it goes behind the layer of fat in your stomach, and generally speaking you should not be able to feel it. You should give your docs office a call. I'm surprised at the 2 incisions, my doc said he does 5. Good Luck

Congrats! As others stated this is an awesome forum. I'm 1 week away yippie!

Don't be sorry to brag, you've earned it! Congrats and embrace the journey

The most precious pic ever! Congratulations!

You looook great!

I'm using the CIBO Clinic, my experience has been great! I'm getting banded on Feb 4th sooooo can't wait. I'm in Milton. Look forward to attending a Burlington coffee meet!

Hi there, think most of us go through it. I surely did. I had some great advice given to me from this forum. One person used a shovel analogy, try to look at my wall, to see it. One person said it was buyers remorse. Unlike you, my husband I had to take a 5 year loan to pay for it out of pocket 100 percent. I handed the lady at the CIBO clinic my bank draft, and said "there goes my finished basement". My husband replied, "here comes your new life" Good Luck!

I'm on day 8 of my pre-op, and I feel ya. I'm hungry toooo.....BUT, to remind me I look at my dreaded fat pic, and vision myself skinny! I not only had to give up food, but also my alcohol, I love my red wine! I'm doing this and so will you! Good Luck, you have an entire world of support here.
