Thanks ladies it was a little bit of both I think my swelling Is completely down now. I am a little more hungry now, but I still haven't been consuming more than 700 calories a day and I've lost 25/ 40 pounds in about three weeks. I put two numbers because I went to one of my surgeons closer offices and they had a manual scale and it read 15 less than my scale at home so idk which one is right. I think my personal scale. But, I guess ill see when I go back into the normal office for my full on August 9th.

So I'm 9 days out of surgery and I'm on mushies. Really haven't had an appetite ,so I've just been drinking my Protein Shakes so I won't be completely weak during the day. The pain has been pretty uncomfortable ,but the doctor said everything is normal. I would think I would be more hungry now since the swelling is down ,but I'm not. I've lost 10pounds since surgery for a total or 20 pounds since Pre Op, so that's exciting.I'm just ready to get in the gym and back to work!

Went into surgery at 6 this morning everthing with so smoothe. Woke up in a lot of pain and nausea ,but they gave me meds through an iv that worked really good n quick. True Results San Antonio has amazing staff! I've been off and on sleep for about 3 hours but , I feel great sore n still a little tired but, all is well. I'm so happy about my decision and ready for my journey with my band;)

Good luck ladies !! Kianna I lost my Dad 5 years ago as well which is also the reason why I'm doing this. If you need a shoulder let me know I understand but I know you'll do great ! Good luck to you.

Hey girl! Welcome!

I was banded at 22 (I am 23 now). Best decision I ever made. Down over 145lbs, but more importantly, learning to love myself and live a healthy balanced lifestyle. Feel free to message me any time.

Wow you look amazing , I'm 20 and getting banded on July 11th . Your success is definitely a motivation. I'm so excited and anxious about the journey ahead!

I'm July 11th too! We can do this!!! I'm nervous and I keep rubbing my stomach thinking...ok what is this going to be like a week from now?!?!

i know I'm so excited but nervous at the same time lol

Oh wow I didn't even notice that July 11th lol

I use the one in San Antonio and we had to pay 4500 upfront.

Hey thanks for the encouraging words. I will most certainly keep posting. I see your from Texas. I'm from San Antonio so we definitely have to keep in touch!

I've been struggling with my weight for my whole life but, five years ago my dad passed away when I was 15 and my weight has reached it's highest. When i was

17 I started the process of getting the band , but my insurance stopped when I turned 18 and I wasn't unable to finish the process. So 2 years later, I simply asked my grandparents could they pay for me to get the lap band, and with no hesitation they said yes. I went for a consultation and set my surgery.

I'm super excited about being banded in less than

a week.I'm on a 14 day liquid diet the first week was so hard. I wasn't used to the taste of the Protein shakes and had to really get used to it.

Now that I've got used to the taste, it has been much easier. I lost 10 pounds in 5 days and that definitely has given me a push to realize

that the hard work has been paying off. I read a lot of posts on here daily and it has surely been a motivation. Therefore, I will be tracking my

journey on here and sharing my experiences with the lap band.
