Bread is a no go for me, the only bread I can tolerate is cornbread and for that I can only have a very small amount. I know it was very hard for me to except that bread was gone especially because i love to have tuna sandwiches,

I know I have lost almost 100 lbs and I find myself new to the job market after recent unemployment with only 1 professional suit to wear to a job interview. I would apprecfiate any clothing donations that are size 14-16. I donated all of my size 24 clothes to the local domestic violence shelter now I find myself without for my new pursuit in the job market. :wub:

GYPJ, I am need of business clothes. Please let me know. You can email me at ts4602@hotmail.com I look forward to hearing from you.:thumbup:

You deserve to feel proud of yourself. That is a huge difference. I have some good news myself. I went to my 2 weeks post op appt today and I am down 17 pounds!!!!!!!!!!! WOW, I am so glad. I wore some sexy red heels and a cute skirt to the appointment with my husband. I felt sexier so I wanted to look sexier. How many sizes have you lost???? :smile:

I am 8:cursing: days Post op and I have this horrible port pain as well. I am very concerned about this also. I wonder if it will always be like this. WHen I cough, I feel the port and it does not feel natural at all. I am so scared to fully cough cause I dont know what will happen. I am having such mixed feelings because I am wondering why I did this? I should have just stopped killing myself by eating and not had to get a foreign object placed under my left breast. I can hardly breathe in deep. I took a week off work but I do not feel I will be able to return on Monday. I am still highly sore and not energetic.

I am experiencing the same thing. Tomorrow is day 5 for me and all I have been eating is jello, pudding, water, and gatorade. I feel like I am not getting enough calories and I feel very weak. Is it time for mushies yet???? I feel like I am going to die from hunger before its time to eat real food again.

I am so proud of you. I would like to see these same results. I have been banded 4 days now and I am very much hungry and scared.

I look forward to crossing my legs, bending over touching my toes, tying my shoes without help, and making love to my husband without my stomach being in the way.

I am going crazy also. Dr. Pepper was my best friend. We had part in such sweet sorrow.

I am on day 2 and happy alot of pain. I am just waiting for the soreness to ease down a little. I have been walking so maybe it will ease up soon.

I had my surgery yesterday on the 16th. I will go back to work on the 26th. I think going back 2 or 3 days is crazy. You have to let your body. I am on day 2 and extremely sore and could not imagine going back to work today or tomorrow.

Everything is ok. Be proud of yourself for deciding on the change. I am in your same boat because my grandmother and my husband did not want me to get the band but I was banded today. I have to do me because for so many years, I havent. God bless you.

Sashay, thank you so much for your encouragement. I went in this morning with a positive attitude and it has worked thus far. I am very sore today but I am managing. I have the pain in left shoulder just like so many of you have experienced which is not fun at all. I am just glad the surgery is over. I have 5 days of liquid before I can have mushy foods so I am feeling very hungry right now. I am using school as a distraction but it did not help that my husband cooked bbq for himself and the children today. All is well though. How are you???

I am scheduled for APril 16th. I am really scared now. Scared about everything. Prayers to everyone for a safe speedy recovery.:thumbup:

Sashay, I am so glad you are home and you are safe. I prayed for you. I am very nervous about my surgery on Friday. Nervous is a little underrated it is more like scared to death. I have been worrying if I am making the wrong decision. Then, I stop and think. I am so tired of being fat. Out of breath. Sad. I know this will be the right decision for me my nerves are just trying to take over. I am also worried about the pain and the 10 days of liquid. Take care of yourself and give yourself time to heal. Smooches.:thumbup:

Sashay, Congrats to you also. I know you must be excited as I am. I have been very excited all this time, now that the time is near I am very scared. :smile2:

Hello everyone, My name is Queen and I am very excited and scared to say that I have been approved by my insurance and my date is April 16th. Dr. Carter is my surgeon and I am excited about my future. This battle of the bulge has been with me for the majority of my life. I know have children and a husband that I want to live forever with. God bless everyone on this forum for all of your inspirational messages and good wishes. My date is right around the corner. Are there any tips you have for me????:smile2::thumbup:

I call my husband's manhood one word that I have found to be very effective, "MINE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said a prayer for you, now you can relax and get ready for a healthier life.

When I read your comments it does not frighten me because I would do anything just not to be fat anymore. Being fat ishard work. You work to walk, work to breathe, and work to try to fit in. I just want to feel sexy to my husband again. The feeling that I feel right now is for the birds.
