Hey y'all! I am getting my lapband in may and I am soo excited!!!! I have been o er wieght since I had my first child . I gained 70lbs with her! Ever since then I have dieted lost some only to gain back even more.

So I have UHc, I had to do a 6 month diet. I actually gained and lost during that but ended up about ten lbs heavier than I was when I started. Now I've found out I'm approved! Im anxious to get this part of my life started, but also really scared. When I think of how I'm going to deal with my emotions without food it terrifies me.

I am having my surgery in Jacksonville ar. And I will pick a date on Tuesday when I go in for teaching.

So excited for all of you! Congrats on making one of the best decisions. I was banded 1/10, have lost 43lbs. I'm getting over it, but the only "bad" thing I've dealt with so far is being mad/sad that I can't just pig out. There is definitely an emotional side to it. Feel free to message with any questions!

Best of luck in your journey!

Maggie

That is what scares me the most! For one month during my supervised diet I really dieted and exercised, I lost ten lbs but I was falling apart emotionally! I had to go to the doctor and up my anti depressants, now I am thinking what am I going to do, this is the rest of my life I'm talking about!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
