That is awesome! See all of a sudden proof goes the weight.

You may be a bit swollen following the fill, but try to get your Protein down. It is important for your nutrition. Keep sipping and trying!

I am also a private person. I kept it to myself until after my approval from Aetna. I did run into judgemental people but they dont live my life. It was a health issue and my decision to make. It has improved my quality of life already and I am only two weeks post op. I dont go around waving a flag but if asked, I provide honest answers. The band is not an automatic fix, we STILL have to put the work in so anyone who says we cheated is full of malarky

I am 7 days post op and my clothes are already falling off. I walk more and I have taken up dancing, which I am anxious to get back to. I do have more energy and I am feeling much better about myself. Started my journey.at 317, today I am at 277. I cant wait to see the end result!

No one knows your journey or story but you. People that call you a cheater are jealous they didnt do it first. If the lapband helps me keep from getting my feet amputated or to stay off dialysis then A cheater I shall be. Good Luck!

No bananas pre op because they are high in sugar. Definitely no popcorn or bread unless the bread is toasted. Pre op I was able to eat all of the green veggies I wanted so I took advsntage of that, especially when I was hungry. I had salad, spinach, brocolli, or greens. It helped.

I was just banded on the 14th and I must say that I am not feeling too bad! Walking does help. I did have the pain in my left shoulder but it was mild...most of my pain is around my port. It is true what they say that every day gets better. Again, I started at 317. I weighed myself yesterday and I am currently at 288...very proud of myself.

Whooohooo good job

I had a huge headache after a few days but then it died down..funny thing is I did good on my pre op diet until the day before my surgery when I decided to eat just a spoonful of the sloopy joes that my mother had fixed....bad move....THAT gave me an even bigger headache. I started my journey weighing 317. I was just banded today and was down to z85! Im feeling pretty good

Tomorrow is the day! Excited, nervous, anxious and all that. Since I started this journey I have lost 30 lbs....it has done wonders to my overall health. Just hoping the band will help me keep the momentum going....I will keep everyone posted.

I read that after surgery you are only supposed to eat 3 times a day but I'm a diabetic and I need to eat every couple of hours how would that work?

@tamara3569 - my pre-op diet was a Protein Shake for Breakfast a small meal for lunch and a Protein shake for dinner. i had to atleast get 60 to 80 grams of protein in a day. Then 48 hours before surgery only liquids... I have lost 15lbs since the 15th of this month just on the pre-op diet......Surgery is tomorrow morning.....

Congrats. I will be banded on 14 August and I cant wait to start to lose weight. I have lost 25 on my own even before I start my pre op diet so I am hopeful that I can get down to my goal weight sooner rather than later.
