My preop is eggs for Breakfast and veggies(salad) and 4-6 oz of meat veggies to snack in between if hungry. First few days were hard but now Im not even hungry and have to remind my self to eat LOL. However because of this I'm thinking I can loose this way why do I need the band?..... then I remember all the times I lost 60 then gained 70lbs back......Its going to work out!!!!!

Exactly! LOL. I'm getting so anxious...8 Days until surgery. Can anybody let me borrow their patience please? Hehe

Im tomorrow too...yay for us....8:30 check in with a 10 am surgery :)

Waited so long too, am so ready and not the least bit nervous about the surgery. I am more nervous to come home to my 3 children and hubby who needs help because of parkinsons...I really wish I could have a day of peace to myself to rest somewhere other than home( I know that sounds sad- as that is where you should want to go to rest)...that is the part that is not going be easy for me! Good Luck and cant wait to check in with everyone tomorrow

Well!!!!!!! Im Banded! 5 days out.. Feelin Great, now that the gas in my left shoulder is pretty much gone. I can get up and down by myself, but need help getting up from lying position on the couch. Bummer, but funny. I go back to work tomorrow,, I think things will be pretty smooth. I heard of someone having to take shots of heparin in the belly after surgery,., i thought this was a little abnormal.. Any input would be great. Im now eating oatmeal, and applesauce aling with shakes. I try to drink drink drink. Im not very hungry, which is a true miracle in itself... Things are good.. Thank you for all of your support within the lapband talk site... wonderful.. How is everyone else feeling. Any questions??

Good luck to all of you having surgery tomorrow! I certainly haven't regretted my choice. I have already lost 23 pounds since preop and surgery 2 weeks ago. I feel great and already have a lot more energy.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
