Hello, it will go well and you will have no regrets. The hardest part is not reaching goal but maintaining. it. I lost 50 lbs and have gained back 20. I workout 5 days a week and run a lot and spin. I am going in for fill this Tuesday. Prayer sent up express for you:)

not chewing for a long time is hard. That was the one thing I did miss. Losing a lot of weight with the pre op diet is great. You may have a weight gain after the surgery because of the gasses etc. Don't let this bother you. We have all been there.
Congrats! on quitting smoking. They say quitting and dieting together is very hard. I never smoked so I don't know.
Good luck with your surgery. We are all here if you need help, questions answered or just vent.

Looking forward to seeing your progress!

I'm getting so anxious and excited!!! I was nervous at first but that has changed I'm just excited!!!! Can't wait to be on the other side of this!!!!! I have been on my pre op diet for 2 weeks now with shakes and Clear Liquids only and have lost an amazing 22 pounds already I can't wait to see what the surgery brings!! I get hungry at times and not chewing actual food is idk how to discribe it lol weird I guess it's just mental I think but overall I feel great really!! It takes me back to being a kid and ppl always said u r what u eat I think it's so true now!! Before I would have had McDonald's for lunch a large Pepsi at about 2pm to get me thru the day and some kind of nasty carb loaded supper but all that is gone now and I can deff tell a difference!! I also quit smoking for the surgery I am 1 month and 4 days smoke free now I really think this surgery is a blessing in disguise for me!!!!!
BTW I love this forum and seeing everyone's experiences with the lap band such a great thing!!!!!

Went great no complications as of yet (knock on wood)... I'm not in a lot of pain I've only take 2 doses of pain meds and I've been walking but the gas is being stubborn. They won't let me take any gas x yet they've only allowed me to have ice Water which quenches all of my needs. I have dry mouth due to the morphine they gave but other than that I'm banded and I'm still alive so life is pretty damn good!

I am 23 and about to have the surgery on Monday the 26th I'm on my pre op diet now I feel the same way like am I sure this is what I want or need expecially since I'm self paying for the surgery BUT when I look at people's success stories it makes me want this surgery that much more I can't wait for the life changes to come my way (good ones I hope ) good luck and hope u make the best decision
