My surgeon didn't require pre op liquid diet except for day before. Im not sure i could have handled it! Best of luck to you!

I like Lose It! but im going to be checking it out!

Going to the beach with friends Wearing a bathing suit Dating Being able to shop in regular stores Feeling like a normal person Being confidant ....

I ordered from drugstore.com!

What brand is the pita?!

I was on it for about a week but only at night the last few days.

OH yes I had that bad!!!! It was horrible but I started walking around a lot and it actually helped. It will get better!

Thank you all, I'm going to keep going on my high protein and making sure i'm getting enough calories. I've started working out.. I can't do a lot right now but i'm trying . Hoping eventually it will pay off.

Totally!!! How obnoxious!!! It's seriously pissing me off.

Okay so I was banded on 9-21-10 and of course for the first week the scale was moving like crazy, like ten lbs the first week. This second week my weight has been fluctuating between the same 3 lbs and I can't lose! Did anyone else go through this so recently after surgery? Any ideas for getting the scale to start moving again? Help I am starting to get discouraged!

you look amazing!!! I thought the same about my loss but i think it shows more than the number!

Oh I was there about a week and a half ago! I was MISERABLE. Felt nauseated by everything, sore, the gas pains oh my gosh. And I had neck and shoulder pain and was starving. TOTALLY understand! I swear to god it will get better and you WILL feel like a human again. I felt the same way and wanted this stinking thing out but I turned a corner about 5 days after surgery..you will too!!! You can do it!

Sounds like you got lucky!

Try bariatric fusion as well, i think they taste better :smile2:

First of all...congrats. SEcond of all...that sucks. I totally understand what you are going through!!!! AFter so much work i got approved and my surgery took place three days later. It was almost too much too quickly! And you DO have support! You have us! Please email me ANYTIME. Message me your info and we can stay in touch. Try not to start freaking out i know it's hard! :smile2:

Congrats and good luck!! :smile2:

Wow I feel like I could have written your post. I ended up telling pretty much everyone in my office, they have all been supportive thankfully. My weight loss has slowed tons and now some days im even 2 lbs higher (im sure this is water weight but it still bugs me) People do ask a lot how much so i feel embarassed when it's not a lot!

When I first started looking into the surgery my mom was very apprehensive and did not want me to do it at all. My brother was even more opposed. I dragged my mom to my seminar and all appointments and then she started coming around because she learned more about it and the FACTS that this is the best bet to lose the weight. Even my bro has come around. Now post op they are all very supportive!

I work in a nursing home as a social worker. I'm on my feel a lot and was worried about going back to work. I went back on my 6th day (had surg on a tues and went back the next monday) and have done great. I think about a week is a good amount of time!:smile2:
