I was banded on the 21st and as soon i woke up i have chest pain. Now i have pain breathing in, white blood cell count is up a little and they said the lower part on my lungs collapsed due to surgery and not breathing deep. The chest pain is still there and has not gone away. Anyone know anything about this and what might it be from? ~~jessica :crying:

I did 3 weeks of slim fast then i strayed alittle for the past 2weeks . since the start of march to now i have lost 23 lbs. Tonight i had some "POOR" :wink_smile: choices but im calling today my last day for food really. Tomorrow is pre -op and i have no clue what that entails for me. But im pretty sure im back on slim fast and vegs/fruit with some Protein until may 21st when i get my band. I hope that was enough for my liver and the past few days and some choices here and there wont hurt me when i go in this week. ~~jessica

So im set for may 21st for my lap band.... any advice? Im happy but scared at the same time. Another thing how long did most of you stay in the hosptial? Im having a problem right now with my diet also. I keep thinking i should watch what i eat... but then im thinking... OMG if i dont eat the foods i like now... i might not for a long time be able. Any help would be great thanks!! ~~jessica:confused:

well i guess not often.... for lunch around 830 pm est I eat 500 calories. If im short on time ( which is very often ) I just grab a lean cusin and maybe a fruit. But those meals have little chicken in them. I do have the slim fast 4 times a day with eaither 10g of Protein or 15g. and thats all i have all day... 1 500 cal meal ( which sometimes is not even 500 cal ) and about 4 slimfast ~~jessica

I have been on a low cal diet since march 1st and lost about 21-23 lbs. For the past two weeks im starting to stray away from it once i lost the amount of weight my doc said i had to lose to submit for the insurance. Right now just waiting for the insurance to say okay and to set a date. But I feel depressed that im starting to eat bad food again. I know i should not... but some how i ignore it. Like i do well all day.... drink my slim fast , eat about 500 carb low carb meal around 830-900 pm est . Once i get home around 1230am est from work i get retarded. I'm also feeling hungery all the time now. Can anyone please give me some adivice or words of wisdom. I did so well before... why am i faling now? Its making me pretty depressed... but i keep putting the food in. ~~jessi
