WTF???

AlannaElyce, Congrats on getting banded. You can get the tickers at http://www.tickerfactory.com. Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

Hey that's great! I was SO glad my doc didn't do a long liquid diet after surgery. I was eating mushies by day 3. My weight loss is slow but I am kind of glad because I feel like I can stick with it much easier. My only advice is to not set high expectations. The band is designed to help you lose about 2 lbs a week when you are eating full foods again. That is reasonable and attainable.

I am doing pretty good. I don't think I would have lasted on another week of liquids. My doc had me progressing to foods within 3 days. I am eating pretty much everything. I have no restriction at all though so it is making it pretty difficult to not over eat. I have to watch everything I eat. I hope I get a fill in June. My post op appt isn't until June 10. Good Luck Thursday. Let me know what your doc says. I admire you for sticking to your liquids. Brave!

Hey there. How are you feeling? I go back to work tomorrow. I dread it.

I won't be staying overnight so I will be home that afternoon. My hubby is making it real difficult. We are going to have to have a heart to heart before Wednesday. I won't change my mind, I've come too far.

I am being banded on the 12th. Let's keep in touch.

Thanks! same to you.

Hey! I am getting excited. I am 30 days out. It seems like a long time but yet still it doesn't, if that makes sense. I am stocking up on Gas-X now. I have heard the gas can be horrible. I guess that is something that will always be possible since the tummy is smaller. Can't hurt to have it on hand. I have to take gallstone medicince for 6 months after surgery because I still have my gall bladder. My thoughts will be with you when you have the surgery Thursday. Let me know how you do. Thanks for all your support and words of wisdom.

Thank you for the words of support. I could have done it this month but it would be a tight squeeze between co-workers vacations so I opted for May 12. I am so excited and yet a little nervous about problems. I am off work a week but I have heard some horror stories on Gas and pains. I have to keep telling myself it is worth it.
