    jaedwards got a reaction from betty_s in a lot can happen in a month   
    I got banded on May 30th and what a wild journey. The first two days was painful but on day three I was walking and exercising and pretty shocked at how I felt. On the day of surgery I weighed 255 and 30 days later I got on the scale this morning and weighed 220. I'm in shock. I'm happy and feeling great. My son tells me that he is proud of me which I'm not use to.
    I had my first fill and up to 3.5 ccs and I was so nervous for nothing. I catch myself wanting to eat when I'm not hungry and that will be my hardest hurdle. But I'm still loving life right now. I have no regrets.

    Thank you all so much. I love the encouragement. It means a lot to me. I think the hardest part had been not knowing someone personally that has done this. So I love the support here. I'm sure once is done I'll have lots of questions.

    I got banded on May 30th so in 7 days it wasn't till day 5 that pain was bearable for me. Never felt hunger till last night. I walked and paced in my house or outside when I want resting. Today I start soft food and I'm truly scared. You got this and I just keep telling myself that this is a journey not just a moment. Journey is going to have some ups and downs. Keep on posting.

    I know that feeling. My surgery is on Friday and I still feel like something is going to happen. So this morning I made my first Protein Shake and I'm struggling to get it down. I packed a Jello and popsicle for work. Plus another shake. I have beef broth for dinner tonight. Im starting a journal of this whole experience and luckily I have some real supportive friends. That helps

    jaedwards got a reaction from Industrious Bee in Getting A Bit Of Cold Feet..Help, Please!   
    It is so comforting to read these stories and know I'm not alone in these feelings. My surgery is approaching and the thoughts and wonder are overwhelming. I have noticed that a lot start the pre- opp diet a lot longer where I start mine on a tues and surgery is on a Friday. I just really want the wait to be over so I can get pay the waiting. Best of luck bee. Keep us posted.

    jaedwards got a reaction from Mikee57 in Scared and Execited at the same time   
    My nerves are in overdrive, I'm approaching 39 in July and I know I want to have made a change by 40. This is the closest I have ever felt to actually being able to achieve my goal. Insurance has approved the procedure so the ball is rolling. I'm at a point where I am over food and just want the basics but as i approach a surgery date I have thoughts of "my last meal". Is this a normal thought? Just wondering
