Hi, All-

My surgery went well and I feel great! I have only lost 21lbs pre and post surgery and I haven't lost any more weight since my intial loss post surgery. It's been 2 weeks.

Has anyone else had this happen to them. Maybe my body is in starvation mode. I am following doctors orders and eating what's on the list. Help! Anyone!! Please!!

:eek::wub:Dear Bandster Friends,

I am hoping that this New Year's Eve finds you happy, feeling good, and looking forward to 2010!

I had my surgery on Christmas Eve- one week ago. I am feeling great today. It was a rough few days but I am doing good, weight is dropping, and I am looking forward to my birthday in January. Life is good, Life is good!

:smile2: I am happy to be on this path of healtier living. I want to be healthy when I hit my 40's, 50's, 60's, etc. Seeing sickness around me all of my life has been the driving force for my weight loss.

For some, telling people about their weight loss surgery is liberating, for others is scary. For me, I feel and I've responded to a few blogs about, that this journey is mine and mine alone and want to embrace this, own this, and live this. It's all about the goal and not how you get there. Get there, crawl there, fly there....any way that you do it.... congratulations!

With admiration to people who have taken charge of their lives and have chosen to live the best life possible.

I just wanted to say good luck. My surgery is 2 weeks from tomorrow. I am also very nervous, but I feel that I am making a good decision. If I don't do this now I may not be around as long as I want to be for my kids. Best of luck to you.

How did your surgery go?

Hey girl its going to be ok I just had my surgery on Dec 8th and I was also very nervous but it's over so fast you just forget about it. The pain is not bad at all and like people say its day by day. I feel a little better every day. At first I kept telling myself what have i done but I think I have made the right choose. Plus this site is great everyone here is a great support. Keep us posted and good luck

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT! I am 7 days out and feeling great. The first 3 days were tough but all is ok.

Hi, I am having my surgery on 12/24 and I too have the same fears. I started eating very clean now, doing protein shakes, drinking clear broths as my doctor suggested. It'll help ease your way into the clear broths after surgery or that's what I think. Congrats to Astra!! Keep up the great work....

Thank you so much for your encouraging words. It does help to know that I am not alone. I feel alone since I am keeping this hidden from almost everyone in my life. Good luck to you who are having surgery in December and best of luck to those who are just had it. Merry Merry!

Hi new friends. I am having my surgery in 2 weeks and am nervous. It will be on Christmas Eve--the best gift I have ever given myself. What can I expect is it bad??

Help!! :crying: Words of encouragement, support, anything...help a girl from NY out!

Thanks!
