i know! @@Vtsoutherngal I'm excited about cream Soups too! i bought some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken flavor to mix in it!

i'm having an off day today. just feel kinda blah, and head hunger is back worse than it was on day 2. it probably has to do with the fact that my office is having cinco de mayo nachos for public service week and its all i can smell/see when i walk thru the hall. just really ready for thursday. i'm glad i have 2 weeks off (one for surgery, one for staycation) so i dont have to deal with these things right away, especially when i'll be full liquid for a week or two.

hope everyone is doing well!

Sorry about that!!! But it is a good thing on how you can experience this now and learn how to cope. I have had so many activities over here too but non have been tempting for me and I have surprised myself. Thursday can't come any sooner over here too, I just want to be able to get to full liquids by Sunday for mother's day!!!

well, less than 48 hours until surgery and I'm finally feeling a little nervous. i think its more for the surgery in general, not the lap-band. i'm not a huge fan of needles, so i dont enjoy the IV process. still WAY more excited than nervous, though.

Betty, congrats on your being banded. I too was nervous about the surgery not the lap-band part. Everything will be ok.

Good luck on your surgery. Just take it one day at a time and listen to your doctor!!

I was banded may 2 and feeling pretty good. How long is the typical recovery period?

congrats! keep us posted!

Hi.. I've been lurking this board since Feburary when I was sure I wanted to get the lap band. My surgery is tomorrow and I just got a call saying my surgery time is 12:45pm and now I'm so nervous.. I'm here at work about to cry.

I've been battling weight issues all my life. I've gone on so many diets but my weight is always a yoyo. I loose kind of fast but I gain it back faster. I decided to get WLS because I have a 4 yr old daughter who is chubby and I don't want her to go through what I have gone through and I want to be an example. I don't want to take her for walks and be out of breathe because I'm so out of shape. I have 2 teenage boys who are very athletic and I hope my daughter follows their steps but I have to be an example.
