Hey chic! So im home from the hospital and pretty soar but other than that im good. I hope your surgery went great today. Good luck and let me know how you are.

So Im totally fine now and just ready to do this...i cant wait either..except today is an unfun day for me...bowel prep and only clear liquids no protein shakes...but then tomorrow will be great. Its all worth it...keep me posted on how things go on thursday for you.

Hi Janet! Im having my surgery wednesday and Im feeling hesitant. I dont know if im making the right decision. I had a very rough time with the liquid diet and Im an emotional eater. Im 5' 1" and 216 so yeah not a petite flower. I want to to do it for me and my kds but im nervous. I keep hearing horror storys so im wondering if its worth it. Thanks for the advice~Lyndsay~

Hey girl! You look amazing...im having my surgery wednesday..im excited but nervous. Any advice for me?

Hey there! So I was looking at your pics and you look absolutely amazing..im having my surgery on wednesday and im a little hesitant. I want to be thin but im a little scared do you have any advice. Im the most worried about the foods and what i will be able to eat after the intial 6 weeeks. Thanks for any advice that you may have.

So how goes it? We have just a couple more days...are you as nervous as me? Im having these nervous thoughts of like can i really do this? Is it worth it to not eat breads or rice for the rest of my life? idk is it normal for me to feel this way?

I have to be at the hospital on wedesday at 10am so not sure exactly how long the whole process takes. My fiance comes back from cali on that day...his flight leaves at 8am his time which is 10am my time right when i go in so he probably wont be here to see me till the evening which bums me out a bit. Ill be good im just nervous. Its such a big change no more breads or rice for the rest of my life..is it worth it?

Im doing ok..i had a few slip ups during my liquad phase...im getting banded wednesday. Im starting to get a little anxious and hoping im making the right decision. Im originally from NH ive been in KS almost 5 years. My ex-husband is in the army and is stationed at Fort Riley..and ogden is in between the fort and manhattan..its one of the towns if you blink you might miss it. How the weightloss?

Im excited but nervous im sure i will be fine and my fiance comes home on the day of my surgery so he should be at the hospital once im all done. I cant wait cuz I havnt seen him in 5 weeks so yeah. How are you doing? Any better with the foods?

Hi there! Thanks for the friend request...how are you?

Well that was a good decision finals are important. My surgery date is june 10th so soon. Im excited and nervous all at the same time. Im scared to step on the scale lol..this has been hard i did eat some food because i got all emotional then i just wanted to throw it up but i didnt but i just told myself that tomorrow was a new day. Yeah its a mind thing totally..i know once i have the surgery and I cant eat i wont its just hard when you have a normal size stomach ya know. Anyways keep me posted on whats going on with you and good luck on your finals.

Awesome we will be going thru it at the same time..did you have to do a liquid diet? If so how did you do? Its been hard for me but im trying to keep a positive attitude. Well hope to hear back!

Doing ok...i cheated yesterday..it was my birthday..so im feeling really down about it but today is a new day. How much have you lost?

Congrats! 4 lbs is awesome too...well broccoli is one of my favs as well. Its been hard im so hungry today is not a good day. There is always tomorrow right.

Hi my name is Lyndsay and Im pretty new to this too. I know the feeling of people not understanding..im here if you wanna chat.

I can totally hear your frustration..i know what you mean about the support. My mom says she is supportive and then in the same breath will say idk how you live without all the GOOD foods..which she means fat foods. It is totally frustrating but I look at her and dont want to be her at 60 she is overweight and has been my whole life. I can imagine how the weightloss would be frustrating too when you see people drop 20-30lbs after surgery like its nothing and you just want to lose like that too. Are you exercising? Thats a hard one for me to get consistant with. Well i know you dont know me all that well but im definately here to listen and if you want to chat outside of this sometime I could give you my number or email or something. Have a great day and you CAN do this.

I so know what you mean everytime a commercial comes on I either change the channel or cover my eyes lol. I just want to chew something..lol..i caved and at brussels sprouts..but im only human right. As of monday though I had lost 8lbs and that was less than a week so it it will be worth it. Im taking it hour by hour. Keep up the good work.

Thats decent weight loss though and thats important..can you feel your port from the outside? How is it not drinking during meals? Does it feel foriegn to you? Could you eat more so your not hungry or are you still kinda restricted?

Oh wow...well i guess thats good for me then lol..how long since you were banded then?

It will be interesting to see but you are already ahead of me by 11 lbs lol..ive been on liquids almost a week now and lost 8lbs so far. Hopefully ill lose more by next week..we shall see.

So did you lose any weight during liquids? Its really hard to not eat anything..I have to admit i ate some brussel sprouts..lol. but everyday is a new day. How is the pain on your tummy from the incisions? How much have you lost so far? Thanks for the advice!

So any surgery date yet? I started liquids last wednesday and still alive lol. Ive already lost 1 3/4 in on my waist but afraid to weigh myself..i dont want to be dissappointed ya know. Well i hope things are great for you. ttyl

So i noticed that we are starting out at the same weight and im looking for friends to go thru this with..lol. Hoping to help support eachother..when were you banded? Im having my surgery on June 10th currently on liquids..its hard but doing it. Well hope to hear back Lyndsay

Hi..im getting banded on the 10th..saw you were recently banded..im on liquids now and its not easy but i keep telling myself it will be worth it..what was your total time on liquids? Were u hungry all the time too? Hope to hear back..Lyndsay

So how goes it for you today? Yeah I said goodbye to my foods to I know what that did for me..it was hard. Ive decided though that steak and bread really arent as important to me as my life. I wanna be here and be healthy for my kids. I hope you are doing well on your liquids. Everyday is getting easier...i havent weighed myself but i did measure and I have already lost 1 3/4 of and in off my waist since last wednesday so im pretty excited. Good luck today you CAN do it.
