LOL I was telling a co-worker that the other day...that I am way excited...but getting really nervous reading everyone's blogs and concerns. I guess I am psyching myself out! LOL

I am just ready for July 26th to get here! I am ready to start my journey!

Good luck to you , your first so I am going to follow you and we can do this together through this blog. I will give you all the support and encouragement that I can! I am nervous of the pain and thinking something is wrong...ugh. I need to stop over thinking every little thing! I am in NY, and you?

LOL I am the same wayyy. I overthink EVERYTHING. But I have seen both my parents go through this transformation...so I have seen the good and bad sides. I am up for the challenge if the end result is regaining my happiness and getting to a healthy BMI. I am excited for the journey! Andd I live in Texas!

How are you doing? I was banded the 6th. My BMI was 33. I caught a lot of flack for being banded with a lower BMI but knew I couldn't live this way forever.

I got slack as well from my sisters. My parents were completely supportive (they both have lapband). But I only told them and a couple people at work...for that reason. No one needs to know. After all, I did this for ME, and ME only.

I am doing good. I am 18 days post op. I was weighing everyday...but DON'T do that! The first month is for healing and not so much for weightloss (esp. since we are starting at a much lower BMI).

My port is still real tender...but that is it...I feel pretty much normal! How are you doing?

How are you doing today? Are you having any problems getting in your Protein? I am getting about 20 grams a day need more like 40.

I'm doing good. Yes my protein intake is a little low. However I am starving at times on this preop diet. I know it will get better. How are u doing today

Things are better today. Is the hungry getting less the longer you are on the diet? The protein will help you stay fuller longer plus it will help your hair post op and maintain muscle mass.

Yes it is getting less each day. However at night is when I have had to be in complete control as throats when I snacked so much. But I'm doing good. Today is day 3 and at one point I felt a little week. So I ate a cup of veggies and it seemed to help a bit.
