Thanks! I feel good! Wow I looked at your stats and you have 12 lbs till your 6 month mark? what will be your weigh then? Congrats! thanks for your encouragement!

I’m doing good! I don’t have any complications and am in day 5 today. I have lost 6 lbs as of today. I took the week off and actually laid by the pool today.....Today I had 2 oz of yogert and 2 oz pureed chicken in my parents vitablender…..I’m drinking lots of water and cranberry juice. Everything seems to be going down nicely. I have been walking every morning with my mom at 9am. Today we walked 2 miles….I feel great! I make sure not to drink until an hour after I eat. I wait 15 minutes after eating to "gage how I feel" to make sure nothing is going to come back up. I am reading a book about emotional eating and really getting in touch with my zone...I have too. Actually, I am force too but very willing...One of the questions in my book asked...When was the last time you loved and nutured yourself?" .......years until today.....in five short days my life has made an amazing change......stick to it. This transition isn't for fence straddlers....just do it and get your helmet and shoulder pads on....

I am 4 days post lapband surgery and i have lost 4.5 lbs. I am on the lowerside of BMI coming into this at a weight of 198. My goal weight is 130. I was like you, I wasn't sure which way to go....so I did reasearch. then I stepped away from all of it for about 2 weeks and just did some sole searching to determine what was best for me. I liked the fact that the lapband can be adjusted and reversible. What detered me from anyhting other that the lapband was the fact that i had 2 friends who had that and have gained weight back. I like knowing that if I get a little out of hand...back to the doctor to make a fill....I hope I have helped by sharing my recent experience....in the end it is all the same...successful weight loss and a new you

When did you get banded? Great job on losing 17.5 pounds...stay positive....I am day four post band and I have lost 4.5lbs...

Hi all I just wanted to check in and let you all know how my journaey has been. I was banded in Mexico by Dr. Lopez Corvala. My stats: day of surgury 198 (6/26/09) 4 days post op lost 4.5 lbs I want to encourage people to make this transition. I am not here to say that is was a cake walk. It was trying at times but all worth it. I'm oplen for questions......I feel good. I am still on clear liquids...I am having some pain in my shoulder but not using any pain meds. I also want to let you know that I had a hitatial hernia that was also repaired. I have taken a week off work even though I feel like I could return in a couple of days. I am glad to be at this place in life. I miss binging but have found a deeper place in myself that keeps me going. I look ahead at what I want and not what i am letting go of....No regrets....
