Just wanted to drop in and say that I been doing pretty well since my surgery on 9/20. The first and second days were a little rough, but not like I expected--the pain was manageable. Today I feel pretty good, and I'm sticking to my liquids (Water, Protein drinks, Jello, and broth). I've not felt hungry at all (even with all of the food commercials). I don't know how to describe it except food just doesn't seem to be that appealing to me right now. I hope that lasts!! Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that I made it and it's going well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! PS: I did have a slight panic attack on the day after surgery--I remember thinking "Oh my God! What have I done!!" (this was as I was drinking a protein shake). I remember thinking "Is this the rest of my life?" but then logic kicked in and said, "No...this is only the recovery phase...you'll be able to eat real food again...just smaller portions." Hope that helps anyone who gets that feeling...I've heard it's quite a normal feeling to get.

Good luck, poohlvr!! Hope all goes well!! Keep us posted. Tomorrow is my day. I'm excited (and a little nervous) but ready to be banded!!

Found out this week that I was approved for Lap-band!! Woo hoo! Surgery date is 9/20/07. I've been lurking, but now I'm out of the closet url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wSRUfY4/] [/url]

My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 20!! I'm pretty excited!!
