i agree fitted clothes are the way to go. i myself dont like to wear baggy clothes because i think they make you look bigger then wut you are. i usually stick to fitted jeans. Shirts depend on what kind it is if its a flowy top like a baby doll thats fine but nothing baggy, i usually leave those for working out and sleeping in. :wink_smile:

i have to say i went off a little too, (i thought it was only me) i dont have my first fill until august 1st and i can eat anything which is making it really hard for me to keep on track. after reading everyones posts i am making it my job to get back on track... just wanted to say that

for the past few days i had been starving... today i started somewhere inbetween mushies and full liquids. i scooped humus into a measuring cup and the whole day i ate less then 1 cup. i have felt full all day and couldnt eat anymore. but do make sure that you get your water in, last night i felt like my legs were paralized and numb i couldnt sleep all night when i told the nurse today she asked me if i was drinking at least 3 bottles of water a day (and im not) and she very seriously told me that it is very important that i get it in and that it could lead to problems if i dont. so make sure u do that lol im still trying to drink all this water

thanks for answering... yeah she really scared me b/c we were in a group class and then she pin pointed me out i was like ummmmmm especially bc my grandma was sitting right next to me lol so i didnt want to ask her why but thanks for ur help

Hi Has anyone been told that there is a very high risk of pregancy soon after this surgery???? This is what my doctor's nurse told me today. If this is true - how long am I at a high risk????? Thanks:confused2:

i lost 15 lbs on the pre op diet and lost 8lbs so far after surgery totaling 23 lbs!!!!!:thumbup:i also hit the 100's this morning 199 to be exact but it made my day i havent weighed this much since 11th grade and that was 5 years ago already good luck to everyone and keep on losing!! fast and slow it doesnt matter as long as its comming off

thanks for all your responses

thanks i thought i was the only one lol

ive read a lot about people having to bandage up their incisions but i dont have that my doctor glued mine i was wondering if anyone else had this done? it looks like crazy glue and its supposed to heal better so has anyone had it done this way?

i feel like such a baby compared to all of you lol i seriously cant handle pain at all!!! i mean its not bad its just really uncomfortable i wake up in the middle of the night a lot too i just cant wait for this part to be over. im down 3 lbs since tuesday though so i should complain.

i got out of the hospital yesterday my stomach is still in a lot of pain where they made the insisions (sp?) im also having some back pain ive been doing a lot of walking though. my stomach has also been making a lot of noises i dont know if its gas or hunger but i have absolutly no desire to eat anything i have to force myself and still dont eat a lot i think its also because im scared ill throw up or something since i have also been very nauseaus.

well tommorrow's the big day! i have to be at the hospital by 6:15am it hasent hit me until just now im starting to get very nervous well wish me luck lol

yes its already sunday!!! tommorrow i can only have one optifast for breakfast then its clear liquids for the rest of the day and nothing past midnight. i also have to take laxitives.... does/did anyone else? i have to be at the hospital at 6:15am so ill deffinetly be going to sleep early tommorrow.... im so excited and yet a little nervous at the same time not because of getting banded but surgery in general...ill be fine though hope everyone has a great memorial day weekend!!!!!!
