ShayDee- Good Luck, I don't mean to sound negative, I don't want you to worry! Good luck to everyone else too! This time next year, we will all be THINNER!!!

How is everyone tonight? It is day 4 for me, and I am feeling more like I will survive. I wish I didn't feel hungry, but I guess that just goes with the process. My shoulder is still hurting. I am so confused on what I can and can't have that I am scared to do anything! Ginger

Susan, My shoulder was a little better today, but it still hurts. I have not called the doctor, but I emailed and they did not reply. That really bothered me since they were so quick to reply before they got my money! I am back at home tonight after a school trip, so hopefully I will rest tomorrow. Tomorrow will be my first day back at work. Let me know what your dr says. Ginger

Thanks for all the posts. The biggest problem I have is that I didn't tell any of my co-workers and I am on a business trip! I keep having to sneak away when they eat. I was disappointed about being hungry, but I guess it will take my brain a while to catch up. I have not been on the scale because I am not at home. I know I have not taken in what I used to, so it has to be good! Hang in there everyone, and keep cheering, we all need it!

I was banded on Friday, and today is Monday. I am finally weaning off of the pain pills. I can't handle the liquids not making me feel full. So, I broke the rules tonight and had a baked potato. I guess I will know soon if I am going to regret it. My incision sites are very sore. I don't even know which one is my port! Good luck to all who go tomorrow. Be prepared for gas pains!

How are you Susan? I was banded Friday too, and I am having the same problems. I am also very upset that I feel like crap! I should have expected it, but I was trying to be optimistic! Let me know what your dr said! Ginger

Tomorrow is Band day! I am debating taking something to help me sleep tonight! Congrats to all the May banders, your day is coming! Ginger

Date Change! I got a call today, that I can change my date from 5/11 to 5/4! I go for my consultation on Wednesday. When the appointment became official, I started getting more and more nervous! I went for bloodwork tonight and got all of that out of the way. I don't have insurance coverage, so this has been a quick process for me. Just making payments FOREVER! I go for a dietary appt on Wednesday too!! I still don't have the nerve to tell my mom!!! Anyone else here in Arkansas? Ginger

My date is May 11th! I wish it would hurry up and get here! I need lessons from you all on how to get the fancy pictures in your posts, LOL! My pre-op BMI is 42. May should be interesting! Any idea how much to expect to lose in the first month? ginger

My date is 5/11, I am READY! I am also nervous! I just hope this works for me! I am very afraid of failure!
