I can't believe I gained weight. Yes I can, I have eatten like a cow. I am sure some of it is water but it really scares me. I am back to weight that I was when I went to surgery. I have gained 6 pounds. I am really really going to try harder today. I think I will get out of the house. That will make a big difference. I also think I will measure my food and only eat 3 meals today. I really have to get this together. What is wrong with me?:cry

I am 11 days post op. I haven't had much pain. I am on the mushie stage of the diet right now. I am having a hard time on the diet. I am eating stuff I shouldn't and way too much. I have had more problems with my emotions since surgery. I am really suprised by that. I lost 16 pounds on the pre op diet. Since surgery I have lost 4 pounds. I haven't started the exercise yet. Will try to start today. I am very glad that I had the surgery but I'm frustrated with myself for not following the diet plan post op. I'm glad to find a place I can write my feelings down. This may help.

I'm really having a hard time today. I was banded on the 27th. I'm on full liquids for a week and can go to mushie on Wednesday. I actually ate an egg today because I was so hungry. I think I chewed it a hundred times before I swallowed it!ha I can't believe I am already trying to cheat this. It sounds like everyone is going through the same thing. Just wanted to whine:cry Snoopy

:DI am so excited for you!. Thanks for the private message. I tried replying to that but I must have done something wrong because it wouldn't go through. I have tons of questions for you. I don't want to overwhelm you. You let me know when you are up to the task. I am so excited that you are going to be in bandland. This forum has been so helpful. I have been posting a lot on the June Bandster forum. They have been very supportive. Looking forward to hearing about your success. Soon to be banded! Snoopy

Thanks for the responses. You are right it is a journey. I'm just going through all kinds of emotions right now, but I know this is normal. I will go back over to the June 2007 bandster forum, just wanted to check in and see what the future holds. Congrats to you all on your upcoming anniversary! What an amazing year for you and many more to come. Snoopy:clap2:

I hope you don't mind me posting here. I saw this forum and wanted to know what it is like 1 yr after the band. Melissa Lea you look fantastic! I hope I have great results like you. I think I was a little bit shocked after reading some of the postings. It still seems that I will be struggling with the same issues I do now of feeling hungry and wanting to eat 1 yr from now. I know the band is just a tool, but I was sure hoping that I would not focus on food and wanting to eat all the time. :nervous Current Weight 325 , 5'7"

Hello! I am scheduled for surgery June 27th at Sts Mary & Elizabeth Hospital in Louisville Ky. Dr. Olsofka is my surgeon. I'm wanting to know if anyone else out there had surgery at Sts Mary & Eliabeth and what their experience was like. I am getting anxious. I am spending hours reading everything on these forums to find out as much as possible. Thank you.
