Congrats Colleen! Your doing great..I went to cheddars the other night. I got a kids meal. I ate the hamburger Pattie and green beans. Ribs sound delicious! Lol Dont beat your self up.

Your welcome!

Thank you..I'm glad its finally working for you!

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. Your right I have to take care of myself. God bless y'all.

Dieing.

I Dont talk about it a lot but my oldest brother is during from metatastic esophageal cancer. He lives with me and I've taken him to all but a few of his numerous appts. Trying to stay strong for my whole family has taken its toll on me mentally and physically.I have had days that I haven't eaten at all. I know I have to take care of myself.

Thank you..I appreciate your comments. I have had several nsv. This is a really tough time in my life. Trying to stay positive. My fiance keeps telling me to stay off the scales! Lol. I really think I'm not getting enough calories. Haven't been able to take care of myself the way I should. I'm going to start though! Ty again.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!

Wow..that's amazing!

Congratulations and welcome! I know your excited. I haven't lost as much as I'd like to but its only been 4 weeks. I can tell you that I feel so much better already. Keeps us updated and ask all the questions you need to. A lot of support here. Best wishes to you!

I know we shouldn't compare ourselves to others but its hard not to. I lost 10 lbs preop and only 12 post op. Seems like everyone else is doing so much better .I'm struggling to get 800 calories a day. Sorry just venting!

I understand. I'm stressed in a different way. I'm taking care of my brother that's terminal. Its so hard to take care of ourselves sometimes but its so important .

Good luck to you both!

I have a problem getting enough calories...I think that's why I've only lost 12 lbs. So hard to do with everything going on in my life plus I'm just not hungry.

I enjoy the way I can drink now..I know it will be different after my first fill though.

Congratulations to you!

So sorry for all that you are going through. Try to take care of yourself.

Hope everything went well!

I have the same problem

Going to the grocery store isn't that bad for me. I've bought my son pizza. I'm OK with it.

We are always around if you need anything.

Good luck to all of you! Every day will get better.

So true bandista!

I try to stay away from horror stories. There are so many success stories. Choose a good surgeon! Risks are involved with any surgery. My Lapband was June 26th.. No abnormal symptoms.
