Mrs. Ski

I'm in Lockport and my support group through my surgeons office is downtown at 6 on Fridays. No way am I going downtown on a Friday night:) I would love to be part of a support group. I had my surgery April 25,2014.

45 pound weight loss includes the three week liquid preop diet. I started on April 5,2014.

I'm going for my third fill this Friday and had surgery on April 25,2014. I am down 45 pounds. I have been eating lo-carb since my surgery but in the last two days i started eating more protein than anything. I am hungry all the time so I am hoping that this next fill will bring me closer to the green zone. I am at 5cc's.

Me too

I met husband on big beautiful people meet.com 5 years ago. Generally You go through a lot of duds before you get a stud:). There are all types of people not just chubby chasers. Just be truthful in your profile about your weight loss journey. Too bad there is not a online dating website for banders and other WLS folks. Good luck to you

Hi Martha. No shakes yet. Just jello. Soup and tea right now. Thank you for the encouragement

Thank you Chrissy. Today is a better day. Just resting and taking care of myself.

Actually today is my surgery 3 weeks preop under my belt. The surgery is scheduled for 12:30

Thank you Martha

Wow. What an amazing transformation. Thanks for sharing.

I quickly did forgive myself. I have lost 26 pounds so far on my preop so I am not guilty at all. I am only feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. Tomorrow is the start of my new future and I can't wait

Woo Hoo congrats

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. Today I got very excited I actually had egg flower soup while on a business lunch. But now I'm feeling very guilty because I did not strain it.

Thanks Mikee57:)

I'm at the halfway point of my 3 week preop. Unfortunately I can't weigh myself because my scale won't work because I weigh to much right now. I can tell in my clothes that I am definitely loosing something. I have 10 more days until my surgery and I am anxious for that day to arrive. I am extremely moody at this point. I can't wait until I start counseling on May 5 th.

Just know that for every one negative attitude you will encounter , you will have 10 positive people who have been there, done that and still doing it. You will get the support you need from your Lapbander family I am not telling anyone that be negative about my journey and my choice. Good luck to you

Has anyone else had any experiences with Dr Elli or a Dayone. Anyone else have a surgery scheduled around the same date there? I see they have several locations and i was wondering if they do fills at there other locations.

Thanks for all the replies. what I've been drinking are Nectar by Syntrax as well an Unjury and I see that the Syntrax Nectar has sucralose. As far as withdrawals go, I'm not a coffee, caffeine, or soda drinker. And I have been on the low-carb high-protein diet at least 10 times in the past but I've never experienced a headache along with it. I'm just wondering is there some kind of a reaction I'm having. Oh well, we are all in this together. I'm on day 4 preop and I'll get through it. nothing a little Tylenol won't help:) thanks everybody

I am currently on day three of my preop liquid diet It seems like every time I drink a protein shake (3 times a day) no matter from which distributor I still get a really nasty headache afterwards. Is this is happening to anybody else?

April 25th is my surgery date. I am more anxious than nervous. My first day of only liquids started yesterday and was extremely challenging because I did not feel full.

I am truly excited about starting today. I already have been stocking my pantry shelf with my "supplies". I generally don't eat first thing in the morning but my mind is playing tricks on me and of course I woke up feeling like I could really put a buffet out if business right now,lol. Time to go and drink my breakfast. Can't wait till April 25th:)

I am scheduled for April 25th. Sooooooo Excited:)
