Thanks for the tips It's funny how my worry went from "oh no I have to wear a swimsuit" to "oh no I have to eat". I'm going to have this laugh then have a good time.

So I'm going on a cruise with a group of people that I have not discussed my journey with. What and how do I eat without being outed? I'm feeling like I'm in my green zone right now but I know the environment will be challenging. I know it sounds silly but I do not want a pb or stuck episode to become the topic of conversation. I really just want to have a good time and enjoy my current success of 45lbs down. I'm hoping to be at the milestone of 50lbs by then so I don't want to remove any fluid. Am I over thinking?

I know what you mean. I have alarms set for meals and water. I notice when 4 hours pass I get a gassy feeling where my tummy or back starts hurting.

Great idea! Add me too milliekay193

Got my band 12/4. 1st follow up 12/10. 1st Fill 12/26. So far, so good! I'm feeling great. Started at 265. Surgery day 257. Follow up 247. First fill 248. Wowwwwww only 1 pound after a holiday! I'm loving this. No pain, no pb; just learning to listen to my band.

Awesome!!!

I'm glad you asked because I've been experiencing the same thing. I call it my plumbing, lol. I eat, I walk around for a bit, then flush out comes super belch. Hahaaaa! No pain just silly noise.

Wow! Day 4 was incredible. I woke up thinking I would still be suffering. Nope. I felt great. I even went for 2 walks 15 minutes each. No pain meds needed.

Thanks Bandsters! I'm feeling much better now. Actually the more I move the better I feel. The gas is starting to subside and the soreness is decreasing.

Thanks everybody! It's nice to have this support system.

I forgot to mention my neck.

Im having major pain in my shoulders and I have a bit of a headache. What can I do?

Dec 4th!!! Anxiety is kicking in. Is it strange that they haven't told me what time my surgery is yet? Also I'm hearing that it's odd that I'm not on a liquid pre-op diet....

Soon to be banded. I tried transitioning slowly but got tired of the in between thing. I'm sort of an all or nothing kind of person. I just did the chop. I switch it up between sew ins and Havana twist. As my hair gets longer I will begin twist outs.
