beth how much did u lose?

I was banded on the 17th and all I can talk about now is how hungry I am! Im jus sittin here counting down until next monday cuz then I can have soft foods...I too go 2 bed early just so I can not think about food...People piss me off when they eat and say "im so sorry fab" but I jus smile and tell them "dont be sorry, I feel sorry 4 u cuz while im losing weight your gaining it" lol then they have nothing to say. I keep myself busy and I guess I just count down till soft foods...things will be ok 1 day..and remember nothing comes easy, we got to suffer to get what we want :smile2: thats what gets me through these days

I was banded on the 17 of july n I cried for like 2 days straight! I had gas the whole week! now its week 2 n I cannot wait 2 get off this liquid diet..I too find myself wonderin why I got this band. I get so frustrated when everybody is eating chineese food and im sipping on shit...but I try to remain calm n tell myself that if I want to succeed I have to suffer...thats they only way I get through these tough days...its only mon and im dreaming of next monday so I can finally have some scrambbled eggs! wooo-ho! :smile2:

well if u tell 1 person, the whole world will know...I told a few people before my surgury and then after that everybody was allowed to know. My mom didnt want everybody knowin before I had surgury because she feared they would talk me out of it...But she didnt understand that I didnt care what people think and that I do what I want with my body. But anyways, after the surgury, I didnt even have to tell anybody. They all knew. Because people have mouths and dont kno how to keep it shut. But everybody is supportive and are really happy for me! Once u have the surgury what can they say??? They will be happy for you...Before u have ur surgury, you think u can tell 5 people but your really telling 10 and so on and so on cuz in the end they each will tell ATLEAST 1 person...Then u look extra dumb in the end. You start tellin people "yeah i lost weight by diet and excersize" but they really kno the lap band is givin extra support. I would never wanna set myself up for something like that. People can know because its there to help me and maybe they can be helped as well. I'll never be embarressed of my band, I love it :crying: But some people are different so if you think its best to keep it to your self then do it

Im from Long Island (Huntington Station) and I was banded by Dr Geiss in Syosset North Shore Hos...he's the BESTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

im glad 2 hear everything went well! :skep: good luck tomorrow!!!

call your doctor and ask if you can take liquid tylenol...since ur surgury is tomorrow u cant drink anything until midnight..so dat gives u time..i dont kno i would either ask or just suffer for the day...u dont wanna risk something then find out tomorrow that you didnt get the band because you took a pill

why are they concerned about you gettin pregnant? Is that one of the reasons y u were denied or is that seperate?

I finally got the blue raspberry :biggrin:

I hope u like ur nectar! good luck on ur surgury :biggrin:

I've been taking my vitamins/minerals chewables so I think ill be good, hopefully lol

:tongue2: yes I will be taking measurements by friday...I dont like to check up on my body every single day...I mean I look in the mirror n see changes in my clothes n let other ppl compliment me but I just leave it at that. I jus continue doing what I have to do and check on that scale every 2 weeks because then it will hit me like "omggg I lost 10 pounds!" and thats all that really matters to me. Im just trying to get to 160lbs. Ill be going to get my first fill on friday so I'll kno how much I weigh then

yes im still on my liquid diet..its hard bc sometimes u just wanna eat but u CANT...but it helps to kno dat u gotta suffer to get wut u want...and I already look like I've been losin alottt of weight..people are tellin me dat i look small already and that the process is soo fast lol

yeah im 1 week post op and feeling a whole lot better...there is still pain but I can deal with it...next friday I will get my first fill and I can't wait. I cant wait to start eating real food in 2 weeks lol

im sufferin from left shoulder pain as we speak :thumbup: before it was pain in my abdominal area now its my shoulders..and all I do is walk but nothing works..I kno time will heal me so only thing I can really do is suffer

I just cant wait to look and feel good! everything else will fall into place

thanks Jodi, im hanging in there

GNC has the glass bottles? if so im going to get some today

I keep goin over there and they dont have none..thats why I left my number so they can just call me when they have it lol

Good news is that I finally burped! band news is that it still gets trapped in my chest from time to time..and now, the pain wants to stay in my left shoulder! Damn I didnt know I was going to suffer like this! lap band comes with all different types of surprises! lol

im glad I helped some people find something to like...I hope every1 is satisfied with their diet cuz I kno it sucks not liking it...For some reason I cant stand isopure anymore...im 6 days post op and im really tired of drinking it...They sold out on raspberry blue so I drink alpine punch...i can do that but i dont enjoy drinking it...I would rather enjoy raspberry blue but somebody keeps stackin up on them...vitamin shoppe was suppost to call me when it comes back into the store but they never did....I dont kno how im goin to finish this liquid diet for the next 11 days I need the raspberry blue

I've experienced all 3 types of gas but the 1 im feelin now is the 2nd one..the one where its stuck in my chest and wont let me burp. Its the worst one

oh ok that makes sense...I wont be seeing my doctor until next friday though
