Thank you ladies. I'm having severe PMS symptoms. It doesn't help that my son and step son are both graduating tomorrow from 8th. Now I'm also emotional.

Good morning! How many ladies gain weight when its that time of the month. I was a little upset because I stepped on the scale yesterday morning and apparently I gained 2lbs since Sunday. I'm still on mushies so I know I have not gone over my calories for the day. This morning I got my period and I'm thinking that might be the weight gain. I hadn't gotten it since April 17.

I want to see a before pic

Congratulations!!

The day of my surgery I was 191. After surgery I went up to 194 (I was warned this would happen). I got banded on 05/08/14 and I weight 187. I'm happy with the weightloss. I will be happy loosing 1-2 lbs per week knowing those pounds will never come back like before when I did all the fad diets out there.

The picture on the left is the day before I stared my pre-op diet and the one one the right is today

Betty I can see the change too.

I had my surgery done yesterday as well. My port is also on my left and it is also painful. Like you, I haven't gotten bad gas pains but I'm not sure if it's because I've been walking from the beginning. I think I feel more pain this morning than yesterday.

Hi.. I've been lurking this board since Feburary when I was sure I wanted to get the lap band. My surgery is tomorrow and I just got a call saying my surgery time is 12:45pm and now I'm so nervous.. I'm here at work about to cry. I've been battling weight issues all my life. I've gone on so many diets but my weight is always a yoyo. I loose kind of fast but I gain it back faster. I decided to get WLS because I have a 4 yr old daughter who is chubby and I don't want her to go through what I have gone through and I want to be an example. I don't want to take her for walks and be out of breathe because I'm so out of shape. I have 2 teenage boys who are very athletic and I hope my daughter follows their steps but I have to be an example.
