    If you do your protein shakes they will keep you fuller longer. You may have to make yourself like them but worth it.

    i'm not trying to tell you what to do, but don't weight until the day you go for the check up ,otherwise you will be playing with your mind. YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT so don't put yourself throught it. I'm waiting until my check up. GOOD LUCK
  3. I had surgery on the 20th so i know how you feel. I had diarhea last night. I have had to sleep in a recliner because i cant stand the pain when i stretch out. I have also felt hot and then later on have chills but i have no fever you may want to check with your doctor but i kind of think maybe this our body reacting to everything it has just gone through.
  4. yall i'm so scared my surgery is monday and my nerves are starting to get the best of me. I love my children but...... and i don't want to be alone but..... what will i ever do?

  6. MY surgery date is October 20th. I am so nervous when i sit and think about it. I know we will be fine. The days are going by faster than i thought they would. Good Luck!
  7. I like reading what everyone has to say about the Lap band. I'm so ready to be banded. I'm waiting on the insurance to approve. I know they will but it can take up to 30 days before they respond. I know that when i get my date i will feel more excited than i do right now. Best of luck!

  13. I'm with you girl on being nervous. I know everything will be okay. Just gotta have faith in what we are about to do. I can't change my mind because i want to have a life like i once had. I'm tired of hurting and out of breath and no energy. I want to enjoy life so i'm going to go for it and not look back and if i can't help someone else i will.
  14. I'm going on the 10th to meet with my surseon to schedule surgery. I've already talked to insurance company(UHC) I'm covered and ready to go.
