So I've been kicking around the lap band idea for a while now. I am 5'2"and currently weigh in at 260lbs. My back hurts, my hips hurt, my knees hurt, my feet hurt. I don't know how I came to be this way at 34. PCOS plus pregnancy 5 years ago started the ball rolling. It seems over the years the harder I try to lose. ... the more I gain. So. ... I've gone and done IT. I've scheduled my lap band procedure. I start my Protein diet on Monday the 1st. I was told I can have unlimited Protein shakes and eat only Protein. I'm not 100% sure I can do it. ..but I'm gonna give it my all. I hope I can find support here as no one in my family would approve. I come from a long line of short round women who just accept it as a way of life. I don't want to be this way and I'm doing something about it.
If anyone else starts their journey on July 25 maybe we can walk this road together.
Wish me luck. I'm doing this first for myself and second for my 5 year old son. I'm a single mom and I have to be here for him because I'm all he has.

I've just finished my last Protein Shake before the midnight cutoff time. It's 11pm now and tomorrow morning is the big day. I did all of my laundry today, vacuumed, swept, mopped, and cleaned my apartment like nobody's business. Hopefully it'll last til I'm back up and running again. I'm nervous and excited. I've got my pain meds and heparin ready to go. Not looking forward to injecting meds for the next two weeks.... but I know I can do this. I'll try my best to remember and update tomorrow as soon as I can. Wish me luck.... here I go.

Good for you!! We are all here for you. This forum is fantastic and very supportive. You can do it! I'm in pre op stage now day 3 and down 7 pounds already since Monday. Band date July 9. It's not easy by any means and I work for a fast food chain. So its really hard. If I can do it so can you. Good luck!!
