Thank you so much for the info on your band slipping and vomiting. You asked where I lived? I live in NY and NOT the city. Upstate NY. I see you are from Canada so I guess we don't have the same doctor...LOL Tonight there is a support group meeting and it will be my first one that I will be attending. I have my physcial exam appointment and then the doctor's appointment telling me when I will be banded so I guess I have lots more time to wait. But I was told you have to attend at least one support group meeting before the banding and tonight I have decided to go to see if I could find someone our age and the same doctor. Most of the people on here are very young I have noticed. My dream is to get back down to 150 but I was told by the nut doctor that I will probably only get to 190 unless I do the gastric bypass which I am like you, I want the lap band and I will think positive and want that skinny body again.

A Milestone! Not Eating When I'm Stressed?!
Judyjones commented on sandradee0124's blog entry in Blog 89559
Support groups. My first one is Tuesday and I am not even banded but decided to go to one. And by reading your blog they help. Stress from work is awful as I remember but should have never happened. I am retired now and think back how stressed I got and I was foolish for getting so stressed. Think of yourself and your health and try and stop the stress which is easy for me to say. You did great by not feeding your stress, I am proud of you. -
How exciting for you. I have one more appointment and then to see the doctor for my surgery date. I can't wait. Please keep posting so I know what to expect.

Feb 09 wow. I had my first appointment at the end of June and I am so excited to get this done and start getting this fat off me. This pre op day 3 and 8 more to go diet is surprising to me. To my understanding I don't have to do any of that but I am not thru with my appointments. My next one is a physical exam and then to the doctor to give me my surgery date is all is ok on September 20th which seems so far away from now. I bought some protien shakes just to see what they taste like. No powder stuff yet. These were all made up and I just shake and drink. Let me know if you like what you are drinking and what kind you got. Good luck and I know what hungry feels like. It is awful.

Yes, throw that food away. Start today. I am fat and have not been banded and you don't want to gain anymore weight. It is tooooooo hard to get off. Just like having a baby, easier going in than coming out. So, throw that junk food out. I can not wait to be banded to get this fat off me. I am starving now because my stomach is so big and wants to be fed. I want a little stomach to tell me it is full. I wish you luck but also say Start Today and get back down to where you were and you will feel beautiful. Just a thought!

OK, you have scared me. Does that mean when you get sick and vomit you can go thru the band slipping for sure? I am just starting this journey and have not been banded yet and yesterday while having the meeting with the diet lady she suggested the gastric bypass to me which I do not want that. I am confused now.

Your post was sad to me. Your husband should be your best friend and best support. Are you going to grow old with him? Ask him that. Good luck to you. I am happy that you are starting your jouney and jealous that you are starting before me.
-
Wow you think positive. I can't wait until I get banded and can think that way. Right now it seems so far away all I do is think of food. Sucks to be me today! Maybe my Monday will be good and so happy for you for today. YOU keep up the good work. Judy

Your six months ahead of me but happy to be reading your post. We spoke before and close in age so love to hear you are doing so good. Only thing is different you work and I am retired. I have gone thru 3 appointments and 4th one next week. So after reading how good you are doing, I can't wait to get banded. Judy

Thank you for that kind blog post for all of us that are just starting out. Everyone says walk, walk, walk and my problem there is no place to walk where I live. I was wondering walking in place will work. I have no choice but that unless I get in the car and go into the the city which takes gas.

I can't wait to get started and write a blog like yours. You inspire me because my weight is just about like yours. Keep up the good work. Judy

You are so sweet to send me all that information about yourelf. My goal is 110 pounds so I think the Lapband is for me. You are a beautiful and kind person. But I am happy I have a new doctor and can't wait to meet him.

Wow - What A Difference 50 Pounds Makes

What an inspiring blog. Thank you. -
Wow, that sucks. I am sorry for you.

Yes BG, I am a newbie and your blog scare the crap out of me but I am thinking positive and have lots to learn. This coming Tuesday is my first of the first 3 appointments, a group meeting with someone talking for 4 hours to a bunch of fat people. My wonderful husband is insisting on attending with me when he can stay home and fish off the dock. (we live on a lake). I am tired of the yo, yo effect all my life and hoping to loose 110 lbs within a year. I might be asking for a lot but gonna think positive. Doctor said 6 months befoe surgery which kind of made me sad but I will just try and get all my appointments done asap and then go from there. Thanks for befriending me and I will be watching your blog. Judy

wow, it does work..................you look wonderful -
I see you went to Alaska with your band. We are planning a trip to Alaska August 2011 and my husband is worried I will not enjoy myself being banded. I am just starting out and the doctor told me it will be about 6 months before banding so I will have it at least 6 months before we make our trip. Did you enjoy yourself even though you were banded which I guess is a stupid question caues food it not all that is in this world to enjoy. Right now I do enjoy my food and always wanting my tummy full. Thanks for listening. Judy
-
I am ready for ya too. How exciting for you.
-
Very entertaining writing.......I giggled at the way you wrote this but also felt sorry for your pain. Thanks for the lesson. Not banded yet but will keep this in mind.
-
wow, that was great what you posted. I am going to think that way too. Thank you for the post. Judy

Oh great, I am in my 50's also and waiting to have this lap band thing done. Well, really I am on my first stepping stone so I have a 6 month wait. I guess I have to go thru a lot before the surgery but I am taking one day at a time. You just stay positive for me and keep me posted on how you are doing and would love to know what you had to do to get this far. Judy
