Anyone having surgery in May? Im trying to get my surgery scheduled for May 1st

I actually worry that I might be eating two few calories and that's why the weight isn't dropping. Maybe my body thinks it's in starvation mode. Just don't know how to increase the calories eating the 3 small meals a day with no snacking.

I thought that too, maybe try adding a protein shake? Instead of trying to fit more in our pouch?

Wore the same outfit today that I wore the day of my surgery, only 7 lbs but seeing a difference!

284 vs 277

That is great! Me too. It sure feel a good doesn't it?

Will do, my sister is having hers done the same day too! Starting two days of clear liquids then surgery on Friday, so excited and nervous at the sane time:)

I think so. I'm pretty sure our bodies are trying to re balance. From what I've heard 1-2 a week is to be expected here on out. I'm a little disappointed because I haven't lost any since my 1 week checkup on Thursday and they moved me to mushies.. When I steady losing, on average, a pound a day before that.. I've cut carbs out of my diet and only eating the 1/2 C of food so I was expecting it to stay steady, but I guess not.

Don't be disappointed the weight will come off. My doctor told there is going some months wouldn't lose weight. You came this far, keep your head up.

I'm scheduled June 6th.. How's it going for the May Newbys. ???

I'm excited-started Atkins to shrink liver.

Best of luck to you all!!! This hasn't been as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I had mine on May 6th.

How's everyone doing?!

Well I've been reading over all the material for my upcoming lapband... Trying to stay positive.

Sometimes I wish I wouldn't have read all the negative because that's scaring the crap out of me. On my 3rd day of Atkins shrinking my stomach. So, I'm good just nervous .

People love to harp on the negative! Don't feed into it. If you've come this far you've made the right decision!

Thanks Betty

I'm good ... Love all the support on here.

I even found a friend who has my Dr and our surgery schedule the same day. How funny!

I was banded May 23 and feel great, just a little tenderness near port incision, but other than that, feeling great. I stop taking pain meds 2 days after surgery and that helps too!
