How did you know??? I was hungry and tired. Dr. Authur Glasgow is my doctor. I did meet Dr. Adam Glasgow the day after surgery. Everything was going great was losing a pound a day. I started out at 199 got down to 183 and now I am up to 188 this morning. I'm thinking I might be depressed and should call the doctors office on Monday to see if I can get help. When I saw the weight come back on-I got into a rut that I can not get out of. My stomach is so sore and having a hard time sleeping. I sleep on my belly but right now I have to sleep on my back. So hungry and the smell of foods are driving me nuts. I dont want to fail. I did order some Lap Band books and Lap Band cookbooks online yesterday. Maybe they will keep me postitive and on track. Thank you for being so kind. I feel I'm not alone. MAG

Feeling much better than the first three days. I did try to go to work on Monday, but came home around 11am and napped. Work is too much and I need to take care of me right now. I think I will take the full two weeks off to recover. I'm still sore and have a hard time getting out of bed (anyone else have this problem). How about napping? I need a nap about 1pm. I did go to Barnes and Nobles today to buy some of the Lap-Band books but of course they did not have any. I’ll order them online tonight. I need some positive reading. My body is so tiered. I figure it must be going through withdrawals from all the bad food I have been eating (almost like a drug addiction). It’s been tough. Cooking dinner for the family and the smells it makes me hungry (or is it in my head). I am trying to listen to my body but my tummy is rummbly. When I go to bed hungry my stomach makes very scary noises too. I keep reminding myself that I can do this. I have to do this. How’s everyone else doing? Hopefully better than me.

I am so tiered and sore. I am having such a hard time getting out of bed. I need my husband to help me out and into bed. It feels like the stitches are being pulled out when I try myself. I did walk outside for about 15 min. I just need to take it one day at a time. 199 pounds banded May 29th May 31-192 pounds

This is so hard-its Thursday and I have seven more days. I have not cheated yet. I keep telling myself it is self control and I need to do this. Ahhhhh...... So hard to cook for the family and I have to drink a shake. I have Memorial Day Family Picnic to go to. Sister-in-law called for recipe for the party and I agreed to bring a fruit bowl. I plan on bringing my protein and magic bullet. Sorry I had to complain to someone; just having a tough day. XOXOX MAG Band date set for 05/29/2008 5'2 199 pounds 125 pounds

Thank you for sharing your experience. You are amazing:thumbup: I hope I will be as strong as you. This website is great I have learned so much about the lap band its pro’s and con’s. I know that my pro’s out weigh my con’s; so why am I stressing out :scared2:I sure its normal. I have talked to everyone I know about this procedure and some are for it and some are not. Drives me nuts when they say you don’t need this lap band your fine just the way you are :ohmy:Are they nuts. It’s like saying gee she might be fat but she has a pretty face. I am staying close to the positive people and will be attending a lap band meeting this month before I go in for surgery. Thanks for letting me rant and rave about my problems.:sad: XOXXOX MAG Lucy12 Pre Op May 12th:scared2: Surgery May 29th:thumbup:
