Too Funny:lol:

TO FUNNY:lol:

You are doing great....my problem use to be that I would lose the weight but it would come back just as fast as I lost it. With the band it is staying off.

Have you tried protein shakes?

Good Luck and God Bless you and your family. I had surgery on July 7 and I'm very happy...wouldn't change a thing.

You are doing great and stop comparing yourself to others. We all lose weight in our own way. PS: Are you walking!!!!

Like you I don't like bananas and because of the acid it's hard for me to drink orange juice.

It gets better...I think around day 4 my headache went away, but I was still alittle grumpy.

You will do well, just had my surgery on 7-12...I really didn't have any pain from the surgery..the only pain I had was that from my neck and shoulder. I have degennerative disc disease and I start having spasms in my neck and shoulders from lying on the or table with my arms in the position for so long...Now that was very painfull, but no pain from surgery. God bless, you will be okay!!!

Hi Everyone, My surgery is over and I'm doing well...didn't have any pain right after surgery, but the gas around my left shoulder and chest has started to kick in. Thank god for hydrocodone

Congratulation!!!! I hope I'm as successfull as you are....Will have surgery on 7-12:)

What a wonderful blog....I sometime forget how good God is and how blessed I am.

Congratulation on your surgery. It's good to hear you say it wasn't as bad as you thought it would be, because I'm scheduled for july 12 and I'm so at ease it's scary.

No question is a silly question, because I had the same question:()

Happy Bandiversary!! Hope I am as successful as you.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but it's schedule for july 12...My pre-op diet started out really difficult but like jmunks2000 said it really makes you think about bad eating habits we've developed through the years. You have made the right decision to change your life. I knew it was time to change my life or loss it... I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesteral and acid reflux....so the big D was right around the corner. Good Luck!!!! Starting weight 232 today 222 started pre-op diet 6/21

My doctor told me that they would give me a card once the surgery is done. So you could just ask you doctor for one.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! God is Good!!!

Congratulation on being approved

How long after surgery can you start toning exercises?

I'm allow 4 slim fast shakes and 1 meal, consisting of 4oz protein and 1/2 cup of non starch veg.

Thanks, I'm trying to keep a positive attitude. I know it's the carbs.

Started pre-op diet yesterday, feeling a little strange. I guess do to the fact that I'm not eating all the junk:unsure:

I know, but it's worth it. It took me close to a year to get approved, my surgery is scheduled for july 12!!! But it took me such a long time to get approved, because I'am a veteran and I went through the VA.

Hi Honeybrown, when are you having your surgery? My surgery is scheduled for July 12, will start my pre-op diet on monday.
