Hey there, saw your post on another profile I was just on. Anyway, I wanted to compliment on how you look fantastic. Your before and after pictures are remarkable and inspiring. Great job!

Hi - me again

Another question for you. I just read a thread on "not feeling any restriction" and how it takes a few fills until you feel restriction. Did you/are you going through that? Are you feeling any restriction? I'm worried that I will over eat after my band is in if I won't even feel the restriction until months later. This is discouraging.

Thanks,

Marie

Thanks for writing back! I definitely expected pain and discomfort after the surgery. I'm glad I can talk to people on here to find out what I should really prepare myself for as far as the pain goes. What is it like for you with having just liquids after? Did you feel hungry? Did you get a headache? Was it hell? When I don't eat when I'm hungry, I get a massive headache, that's what I'm fearing right now. I think I can take my surgery wounds, but my headaches, I am not sure about. What type of pain medication do they put you on? Anyway, I think that's all of my questions for the day (LOL!), I'm sure I'll come up with more.

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the message. I'm not sure what you mean by what type of exercises I do. Do you mean actual physical exercises?

Congratulations on getting your surgery date! 6/10 is right around the corner. How are you feeling?

Hi there! I saw your pics on how you've progressed after your surgery and I must say, I am very motivated by it! My surgery date is on 6/10 (in 2 weeks!) and am very nervous about it. How was the recovery for you during the 1st month? Was it really difficult? Anyway, I wanted to say congrats!

Hi there! I see that you were recently banded - how are you feeling? How is it going? My surgery date is on 6/10 and I'm very anxious. I'd love to hear about your surgery and what it's been like for you post-op.

Congratulations!

Marie

Hi there! From the pictures you posted, it looks like we may be about the same size. I'm 5'2" and I'm probably about 260+ lbs. I am having my surgery on 6/10 and am very excited about it! How are you feeling post-op? Would love to get your perspective on your experience with getting surgery.

Congratulations!

Marie
