Yea for you!!!! Keep it up!

My first few weeks...I felt "sad" and also felt why did I do this? You will go over this period. You really will one day feel better...it does take time. Be patience with yourself.

You will do well....be encouraged!!! Take it a step at a time.

Good for you. Stay encouraged and keep focused!!! You will begin to see some lost.

LoseIt....I am thinking about Jazzercise...is it really fun?

Thanks for any info.

We all have to vent from time to time!!!!! You have been so encouraging to others...let someone be encouraging to you. God is going to see you through! Just trust Him and let Him guide you out of the storm.

Be encouraged!!!

Hello and I am glad you are wanting to make an inform decision. As Giby97 said...you should try and do the lap band diet first. To be honest with you right after I had my lap band surgery...I was sad and maybe a little depressed. I think because I really knew I could no longer eat the way I use to. It was like losing a close companion. Would I do it all over again...yes I would. However, I would have tried the lap band diet to get an idea of the direction I was going to have to go. It is a tool....It won't stop you from eating...you are going to have to learn to do that with each step. But, it will be a tool to guide you.

I am by no means trying to discourage you...I just really want you to take your time in making this decision. Also, you should go to a support group from your doctors office....you will hear people talk about their experience.

I am grateful for this site...It has helped me a lot.

In whatever decision you make....you have people here willing to walk with you.

Be encouraged.

Very well said and expressed!!!! Thank you Jesus for your healing POWER!!!!

SbuggleBear...good for you. Yes, you are right....we God all things are possible. Keep trusting Him and He will see you thru. You are doing right to change those habits now....that will help once you have the surgery. There can be a sadness of losing the ability to eat the way you are use to and if you start cutting things now...you might not feel as sad. Please keep us posted as to what is happening. Be encouraged.

Keep up the good work!!!!!

It will come off as you go to bathroom. Be encouraged...it's the beginning of your journey.

Pray speedy recovery and take it a day at a time.

YEA!!!! My doctor did the one incision in my belly button. It went well.....but be mindful of the gas after surgery. I had to be really careful about getting up and down...not to use those stomach muscles...escepecially since the incision was in my navel. I did hurt for about 5 days...but everyone is different. The pain is no longer there. You will do well. Please let me know how you do. Now is a good time to start sipping your fluids...so you will get use to it. Be well!!!!!
