I know right now I feel like my stomache is deformed but its probably because of the surgery and still trying to get rid of the gas that they use to blow up your stomache for the surgery. I have't weighed myself since I got the band tuesday, but I know before I went in I had lost 13 pounds so it finally paid off with my exercising. I'm excited to loose more, but I know I must have patiants. I had a chocolate protein shake this morning, fixed vanlilla pudding and hated it, and just got done eating an orange popsicle. That seems the best right now. The said thing is is that I'm not hungary either even when I fix my kids dinner! Sometimes with all the sounds my belly moving makes me wonder is it the gas or am I hungry! lol

HI! How ya doing? Today is the first day that I feel much better since surgery. anyways wanted to see how you are doing?

Hey thanks for asking! I'm feeling so so much better today. I know originally it was going to be outpatient but I had probelms with cming out of anesthia and then it was 5pm before they had a bed/room for me. I'm glad that they did keep me overnight. So I came home Wednesday at 6pm. Had problems sleeping but last night was better. I can tell my stomache is going down from being blown up for surgery! Thank God! I only have to cuts one in my belly button and one that is two inches from my belly button...hopefuuly that means healing will be faster! Like I said today has ben 100% better.

Hey! How ya doing today? Ok here....just doing my countdown!

Hope you are doing ok.....Just thinking of you!

Hey how ya doing? You and I only have 4days to go! Hope things are still going good for ya!

Hey how are you doing? Just thinking about you!

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear! That has to be so fustrating for you! I know you must have anger feelings at yourself as well as the doctor for scheduling it out to May, but at least you don't have to worry about fighting infection complications that can make the experience even worse! I feel for you so much because I know how I would feel! I hope you can at least eat something you can enjoy for a few days before you must go back on the diet!

I know what you mean as far as the dreams....its just the not know of how its going to be when you get out of surgery and all. All of us on here have completely over analyze everything which makes us almost borderline psycho I think! Anyways I think overall cheating a little bit is ok what is two weeks going to change really and I don't think the doctor is really going to know you sneaked here and there. More than anything don't beat yourself up and tomorrow is a new day! Ultimately thats why we are having the band so eventually its not going to be THIS hard to loose. Talk to you soon! Good luck!

I'm so excited for you! One more day it is! Will be looking for your text as soon as you feel up to it!

Hey how are you doing today? okay here. I wish I understood why some doctors have diffent pre opt diets. I'm doing good though other than the weekend. its just harder for the weekend because I'm out of my normal routine and then the kids and all. But other than saturday where I cheated just a little, I'm doing great on my plan and exercising. The exercising has been the better motivator than anything....i just hope I will eventually loose the weight then. I'm ready for a new me! Good luck, you have 4 days left!

How are you doing today? Just thinking of you. I cheated yesterday for my brother n laws 50th suprise birthday party, but I figured out of the two weeks I can mess up for one day...so today I'm back on it! Hope your doing ok!

You look so amazing! i was wondering....I went from walking 1.5 mile 6 days a week to almost 2.5 miles 5xweek and 2xweek I tone by using the weights....can you tell me how you started your exercise regimine? I have 10days before I get banded and already have made huge life changes! Thank you!

I know right, only 10days away! I'm so excited! The diet hasn't been that bad until tonight for me. I haven't had a pop or a piece of pizza in I think 2months. Apart of me feels I can have one piece, its not going to hurt and then the other part of me says I've worked to hard to give in on even one piece....so struggling because a pan pizza hut pizza w/ extra cheese and pepperoni has been calling my name....which is very rare. Anyhow 10days of diet left before bandland! ttyl

Thats great! Everyone wants to know that although life will change with the band, that there is still some of your life that will remain unchanged! Take care and ttyl!!

Hey how are ya?

Hey Girl! Sorry about the pre-opt isn't being to nice to you as far as reflecting weightloss. I haven't weighed myself since tuesday because I'm afraid that it will make me no motivated. My pre-opt diet isn't bad, but tonight has been a hard struggle.I haven't had a mt dew in a longtime nor have I had pizza and tonight they both have been my mind. Ive gone two months w/ steak or chicken strips in my salad and being good and all and exercising almost everyday but Sunday and one day thru the week, that I too expect more. Hang there! Even more proof of why we are having the band since we are not normal and can drop pounds of weight because we do all that seems normal.....cut the calories and excerise....HANG TOUGH! Ha Ha Ha

I have to have 3 instant carnation no surger added and two meals from Healthy Choice or similar that has 17g of protein and no more than 300 calories. I understand about testing your own limits and challenging yourself. I have felt the same way until this evening. I haven't had a pop in I can't even remember and I know its prob been a month since Ive had pizza because of my own self been watching what I eat. Apart of me says go ahead and get once piece because things will change in less than 10days so go ahead and have a piece and then the other part of me says no you can do it don't fall to it. So tonights been harder. So when is date exactly?

Hey! How are ya doing? Just checking to see how its going for you? I start my pre opt diet tomorrow. I had my testing today and everything is fine....so on forward to the journey! Can't wait we have only 2weeks left! Yipey!

Hey! How are ya? I start my pre opt diet tomorrow! Getting excited! Hope you are doing well!

Hey! I'm doing okay! I just had my pre opt testing and everything is fine, so of coarse now I'm on the pre opt diet starting tomorrow. Getting very excited! I'm so blessed that my husband supports me here on this issue! I've been discouraged because I've had an exercise program in place and solid (not missed one day) and I've lost a total of 8pounds but it will flunctuate a little bit. As much as I've changed in the last two months, I've expected a bigger change especially when i weight myself today and it said only 5pds lost! Oh well, thats why I'm getting the band!

Hey! I'm glad you are doing okay! Its amazing that you have waited this long and it came and went so fast in a matter of a few hours! Now its the lifelong journey! Take Care!

Hope your doing better! I can't believe you walked a mile after the band! Thats amazing! I would say don't over due it, but I would be the same way! Take Care!

Hey how is bandland going? I know you get your first fill here in couple of weeks, things going good for you? Did you by chance tell any of your co-workers? Just wondering how the balance of life is going for ya with bandland.

Hey thanks for suggestion! I will have to look it up. I go Tuesday to try different protein things. I was told not to stock up too much on the shelves before surgery because our tastebuds can change so ...I plan on getting a few things to get me thru the first two days and go from there! Have a good day!
