congrats on our surgery....hope all is well with you...i got banded 8/13/10 and it's been tough with the liquids...but it's so worth it....i already see some changes

how are you doing so far....i'm so ready for some mushy foods....lol...so tired of liquids already....

first 2 weeks just liquids including protein shakes...than 3-4 week i'm on pudding, cream of wheat stuff like that.... 4-6 weeks is tuna, eggs, etc...

congrats on your surgery....i had mines on the 13th of aug...already seeing some changes and so will you if you stick with the diet that your doctor gives you....it's hard but worth it!

Good luck nel..u can do it!!

i'm doing good to....still a little soar but usually in the morning is the worse throughout the day i'm doing fine...i started walking outside a little to get my strength back up again....my doctor doesn't have me eating pudding until week 3...i'm so over this liquid stuff...i'm trying to drink as much water as i can in between drinking protein but i get full fast and i'm not trying to over drink but i get super thristy....the smell of food is killing me lol...how have u been doing?

when was your surgery date? You look amazing! I'm also 5'9 and my goal weight is 170lbs i'll be even happy with 200lbs at this point..lol...i just had my surgery on 8/13 hoping to meet my goal by next year...

i also had my surgery 8/13 and i'm still a little sore especially when i wake up in the morning...are u still sore since surgery? i also have a hard time walking normal pace...i walk super slow and when i start to walk normal pace i start loosing breath....

when was your surgery date?

i'm glad to here that everything is going good with you....yeah i started my protein shakes today, but my doctor said no sugar protein shakes and my mom by mistake brought the shakes with sugar so i got to get it switched...a lot of the back pain and shoulder pain for me has been gas...so i've been taking Gas X to relieve myself...lol...so embrassing...lol...but it's hard for me to sleep to cause i'm so use to sleeping on my sides not on my back...but the codine helps with sleeping and the pain of course...

How's everything going for you so far?...i'm getting better everyday...still sore, but hopefully that will pass....

I am sooo sore right now...i can't wait for this pain to go away...i'm in to much pain to be thinking about food...so this whole liquid thing is fine with me right now...i'm taking my vitamins as scheduled...thanks to EVERY one for your support and thoughts...i so need it right now!!

thanks missKAYLA i can't wait to get this weight off already..so over it!...lol

looking good!!

AMEN!! :thumbup:

you look gorgeous!! congrats on your weight loss....i hope to be there by next year....my surgery is tomorrow...i'm nervous...

Angera i'm SUPER nervous....it's tomorrow...yikes!!....i don't think it will really hit me until i'm laying in the hospital bed...i know i'll probably start crying...thank god my mom came down to be with me.....i started writing a journal so that this time next year i hope to look back and laugh at how i saw and thought about myself....congrats...wish you luck!!! keep in touch....we both need that inspiration to keep on going....

Thank you for that Lola's Mom! That helped a lot made me less nervous....this is my first surgery ever, i've never even been put to sleep before...can't wait till it's over with and i get to start a new ME!

Wow so happy for you...my goal is also 170 due to my height....i'm currently 310 and my surgery is 8/13/10....i'm scared of the side effect and also scared i won't make it to my goal....how did you stay focused and how many times a week did you exercise?
