Susanbee

I will not miss finishing eating with stains on my boobs....they caught everything my mouth misses. Buttons popping off my pants in the middle of the day. Wearing the same pair of black pants to work because they are the only ones that fit. Hoping no one noticed. Not going places because I couldn't walk.... Answering the phone and people thinking you were running because you are out of breath....all you did was get off the couch.

hey if we were so great at liquid diets and all we wouldn't need the band. I only need to do one day liquid diet the day before operation so i can't relate to what you are doing. Keep your head up you can do it.....how will the doctor know that you cheated anyway...don't beat yourself up......

way to go and good luck to you

I lost 20 pounds. banded 4/4

Your first stop needs to be the psychologist to make sure that this is what you need.

any liquids you can see through....not..milk tomatoe soup...

OMG...yes I only had one day pre op liquid diet so that wasn't a problem..now I have 11 days post op diet of full liquids. I bought all kinds of drinks and now I to am finding that they are way to sweet. Prior to this i could drink that stuff without any problem. Thank God for tomato soup because that is what i'm living on

I had to do 24 hours liquid preop

I was banded 4/4...my dr sent me home on a liquid diet...i can have any liquids, including creamed soup, milk,yogurt, jello

I had my gullbladder out 4 years ago and Lapband 4/4...the cuts for the lapband are different then the gullbladder, both were done laproscopically and one didn't bother the other.

Here we go..April. Advengers..good luck to everyone!

:thumbup:your story sound so similar to mine....i was 130 pounds before i got pregnant with my son...gained weight and never saw 130 pounds again....I also have a hypothryroid.....now weighing 265 pounds I'm going to be banded on 4/4....don't wait..you are young and can do this....my son is now 17...so i have lived heavy for 17 years.....

I'm going to be banded on April 4 my doctor only requires a 1 day liquid diet preop.....yippee....lucky me...

if i could stay on a liquid diet for four weeks i wouldn't need the lapband.....

I'm not sure what I was thinking but I know I posted on the sheet that I was april 7 and on the board that I was april 3.....but i just think that i'm so excited that i got ahead of myself i'm really april 4...my birthday is on the 6th so i guess i'm thinking around the day.....

Good for you. That is exactly the reason I haven't told anyone except my immediate family. I really don't want their opinion. I agree that they hear stories and believe them. We have done research and based our decisions on truths. I tell people after the surgery...maybe...

i'm april 3 but my preop visit with the dr. is on tues

Get another opinion. I need to loose 130 pounds and I'm going to be banded.

I'll be banded on April 4...one day liquid diet

Clothes on, shoes off.....plus the nurse shaved an inch off my height
