Good luck to anyone going for op tomorrow or soon ... You will be fine x I was nervous as hell ... Any soup or ideas because I'm bored of soup and yoghurt ??? Thanks all ...

Congrats razzle! When I was at your point I had started with cottage cheese and soft scrambled eggs and slowly worked up to omelets. Baby steps. Think soft and mushy and filled with Protein. The shakes help a lot. Good luck and welcome!

Thank you ... How long ago

Did you have yours? How much weight have you lost? Share your journey ... I'd love to hear it.. After 5 days scrambled egg and cottage cheese? Wow I'm so excited I could scream lol. I thought I had another week of Soup? Is porridge out of the question until week 3?

Hi. First - don't get me wrong. You should check with your doctor. And I sampled it with trying a little at a time. I didn't go all gong ho either. Your body is healing. It takes a couple of weeks too. I was banded Nov 2012, and I've lost over 50 lbs. it hasn't been easy, it's all about making better and healthier choices and turning nearly everything we hold wonderful when it comes to food down. But it's made me stronger and healthier because of it. Currently, I am only taking Vitamins now. Before my surgery I was taking 5 different medications, plus another 2-3 when needed. I feel 100 % better than ever. I'm active and recent jogged for the first time in over 16 years. I will be honest, I haven't been the poster child of a lap band patient, but I continue to strive and motivate myself to change old bad habits. During the time I fall, I try to pick myself back up right away before I get back into that dark vortex which could ruin me. Any clothes which have become oversized, I either give to goodwill or Am Vets or Purple Hearts. I don't want them in my home as a temptation to get big again. Everyone here has there struggles or issues. And what is great about here is that you can come or go when you need it the most. Someone will be here just for you Be careful, and try to be strong. Good luck to you and your new life!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
