Just got banded Sept 11 but I can't wait to start working out

I know I will forever fight battles with food, but I know this was the best decision I have ever made! I am so happy and have so much energy! You feel like a new person when you eat right and take care of yourself. I knew when I decided to have LapBand surgery that this was it! This was my last chance to lose weight After all my failed attempts at every diet known to man. I can't wait to see where my life goes now! I remind myself everyday EAT TO LIVE. DON'T LIVE TO EAT! Good luck to the ones that are about to have surgery!!!! We can do this!!!!!!

My surgery was September 11th it went really good and wasn't too painful. Just remember as soon as you can get up and walk do it! Walking relieves a lot of the gas pain. Gas pain is where most of your pain comes from! Good luck!

I was also banded on 9/11- I have a hard time getting in the three protein shakes the doctor wants me to have. The doctor told me to do a half a cup of cream of wheat or grits for breakfast. 1 cup of protein shake mid morning. A half of cup of any cream soup for lunch (strained). A protein shake for the afternoon. And 4 oz of Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of protein shake mix and a teaspoon of sugar free jelly and then another protein shake in the evening. I feel like I'm constantly eating. Is this pretty similar to everybody else's menu?

Tomorrow 9/11 is my surgery! I'm so excited I have to be at the hospital at 8:30 am!!!!!

It gets easier try mixing crystal light as your liquid. Gives it bettee flavor.

Im Sept. 11th cant wait!

Thank you!

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a couple years. My Obgyn said when I lose weight it should help. Have you guys heard anything from your doctors about how long to wait before trying?? My surgery is September 11th.

Same with you Georgia
