Hello! I understand the battle you are having with yourself. I struggled with having surgery several times. But I had to do it for me. And I love my band. I have lost 75lb in 7 months. It isn't easy but I know the harder I fight the more I will lose. Do it for you! The more I got depressed and stressed about my weight the bigger I got! NO MORE! I am living for me! Do it for you! Good luck! Stop kicking yourself for what happened yesterday and concentrate on what you have in front of you.

Hey just thought i would say HELLO on this forum. I am usually on the TR forum!!

I am sorry to hear about your loss! Just trust and beleive that you will see her again. As far as baby I have already started to process I went for my first exam and it went fine now I am on my way to the final stage and after that we can start the process of baby. I am excited!! I have lost 60lbs and feel wonderful. I have my low points still but I think that just comes with having weight issues my whole life. I will keep you posted on baby. Keep up the good work sounds like you are on your way to being a mom in no time!!:thumbup:

Happy New Year!! I haven't heard from you in awhile. How are you doing?

I am glad to hear you are doing so well. Before you know you will be down 50. I am so happy for you!! Isn't it wonderful to finally do something for you!! Keep in touch!

Your friend, Cristina

Mine hurt about 5 days. I always had a heating pad on my lower back and an ice pack on my port. It really does work. Try to stretch a little that will help with some of the soreness. Just remember when you are stretching listen to your body and don't over do it. I am really happy you are doing good. Just hang in there. Remember this is your time to heal so don't rush it.

Praying for you!!! I know you are doing great!!!!!!! Just remember its all for your dream!!!

Thanks for the recipe!!

Well my doctor told me to have a nice final meal!! Don't over do it but make sure it is good. Crushed ice from Sonic is wonderful to chew when you are on all liquid diet and they have a great Lite Lemonade Minute maid drink!! I lived on those. Get a heating pad and ice packs. The hospital sent an ice pack home with me and I used it!! Take your pain and nausea meds and walk walk walk. Have your husband message you when the gas pain travels to your shoulders that will help so much. I am so excited for you. Keep me posted

Just wanted to check in and see how you are doing?

I have 153lb to lose and I just got banded on Oct 29th. WHat worked best for. Your such an inspiration!!!!!

Yeah in less then 2 weeks you will be in bandland. Good for you. A little advice after surgery you are going to sleep. As soon as you get up go walking it helps so much with the gas and also take the GAS X gel tablets they work quicker. Tell you husband to give you back massages that helped me so much. I didn't have alot of the gas pain that everyone talked about. Good luck!! KEEP ME POSTED!!!!!
