Have been having many last meals the last few weeks in anticipation of my new life..Probably gained 10-15 lbs since deciding on the surgery...

I did the same thing....around 12 lbs to be exact!

Good luck, and WELCOME!

It really means alot to have an outlet like this which hopefully I can use....At this point I am not sharing my banding status with anyone but my wife..Will wait awhile before I'm out of the closet or kitchen...

hi

It started becoming so real when I began my pre-op diet 2 days ago...like all of us, I have " cheated " on every diet I've been on....I am so psyched taking this drastic , yet very normal step and the pre-op stuf so far has been fine..How are u doing??Is your family real supportive?? i've kind of reluctantly decided to keep this under wraps for now with just my wife in on the real deal..The rest of my life will know that I am going in for a double hernia surgery...Haven't decided when to tell my kids either...My doctor feels this worls best because so many people can be judgemental and we don't need any negativity now...Pretty heavy stuff but I'm going along with it..I'm usually a blabbermouth so this is also part of my journey....How are u doing ?/keep in touch and I wish u well..

Good luck NY Lapster. I have only told a few very trusted friends about my band. Just don't need to have the whole world knowing my personal business. If I am out eating, I just eat very slowly, nobody notices that I don't eat as much as them! People ask me how I lost weight, I just smile and say I eat lots less than I used to, and I'm telling the truth!

COngratulations! You are going to love your band! The wonderful thing about choosing the Lap Band is that it is very easy to keep it to yourself if that is the route that you choose! I am a blabber mouth to most people but there are a select few that I don't mention it to. THis is a great forum for support and information and friendship! Welcome!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
