Hi Hope. We were all new at one time. We are a great bunch of people who all started off in the same boat. I look forward to meeting you there.

Hope please do come - I have only been banded about 6 weeks and am anxious to lose this weight - I am slowly getting filled and talking to Lori and Donna is wonderful support. We won't be hard to miss - the laughter will give us away.

Hi

Well I'm 2 weeks pre-op and I feel pretty darn good. I'm down 20lbs :clap2:and I feel really good. I was a little grumpy:mad: on Thursday night but I got over it. I'm very excited about Friday coming up. I'm doing a big Thanksgiving meal as I have 6 children and they are all coming home plus my parents so that should be interesting. Then Tuesday is my birthday. I think I am giving my self the best present ever, my life .

Question :help:is it normal to think look I'm losing weight do I really need to do this?I find myself thinking this, but in the same time I haven't been able to do it so far so why do I think I could do it now. Also i keep thinking what if I'm the one person this doesn't work on? Is it normal to have these last few thoughts??? Any way I'm looking forward to meeting you all on the 28th.

Happy Thanksgiving:hungry: everyone!

Hi Hope

It is perfectly normal to think that you can do this, i asked the same question of myself, why can't i stay on the Optifast instead of having to pay all this money for surgery. My husband said you could but would you keep the weight off, and we all know the answer to that question.

The band will be succussful for you just as is was for all of us. :woot:

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone ;)

Maria :woot:

Jurema ~ Port Hope in east on the 401 past Newcastle. The exit is number 464. Then go north it is just over the bridge. You can actually see it from the 401 exit. I really hope you'll come cuz I would love to see you again~

Hope ~ I remember wondering if I would ever eat a hamburger again and many other things. I think all of us bandster know how to and can lose weight. Our problem is keeping it off. We have all lost weight and put it and more back on. This should put an end to that for all of us. Looking forward to meeting you.

Hi Loriely

I sent out a reminder last week and you are the only one who replied... I don't know who is coming but if it's just you and I do you still want to go ahead?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
