  6. I hear ya. If the pain in my back and chest would subside this would b almost easy. Lol
  7. Yes I'm taking what the dr prescribed And took some gas x earlier.
  8. Hello all. I'm on the other side. I was banded about 9 hours ago. I'm home and doing well. Pain in my stomach not too bad. I've had 2 c sections and the pain is comparable. Hard to get up and down but just kinda sore when laying down. My question is.... has anyone experienced back pain? I have a bad back anyway but I've had constant pain my in back since I woke up. Nothing is helping. Could is be gas pains? I've heard gas pains in the shoulder but not the back. Also I have discomfort in my chest. Almost feels like heartburn. Is this gas? Overall doing well. Getting up walking some sleeping some and have only had water today. Thanks for reading and the support. Here's to a healthier skinny all of us!!!
  9. Tomorrow is the day!!!! So excited and nervous. No sleep tonight I'm sure! Can't believe I'm starting this new chapter in my life. So ready:) wish me luck!

  14. everyone's is different from what I've been reading. Mine is 800-1000 cal a day. 70-90 g Protein with shakes being Breakfast and lunch with a Protein Bar in the middle for snack. dinner is 3-4 oz of lean meat and half cup of starch and veggies. Totaling no more than 350 cal at dinner. I'll be a week in on Monday tomorrow with one more week to go. Band date is the 9th. I've lost 10 pounds since Monday. Crazy! First few days were very hard but it gets easier and now I'm used to it. It's just routine and I love seeing the scale go down. Don't get me wrong I still have tough moments like today At Nascar race. Corn dogs funnel cakes nachos cheeseburger fries. U name it.... I had my Protein Shakes before I left and protein bar while my bf was eating junk. Very hard but I made it. Good luck!

  20. So I'm on day 5 pre op. Doing well although I think my body is in shock. I dreamt last night I had eaten breaded deep fried fish and was standing at a dessert table thinking what had the least calories and knowing in my head I was cheating. I felt soooo guilty. Anyway, when I woke up I was so happy that is was a dream and I haven't fallen off once. Got on the scale and I'm 9 pounds down in 5 days. Wow no fried food or any dessert can make me feel that good! Just thought I'd share. Happy Friday:)
