Meeeee! I know what you mean, it seems the days are going so slow... totally worth it, though!

Are you on a pre-op diet? I started all liquids on Wednesday. I've been good, but my insides are another story :o

I was banded on 8-17-09, and i've lost 12lbs. My doctor told me in the beginning with the lap band that most people only lose about 70 to 80 pds max. Just wondering why you chose to have the lap band, instead of bypass or the sleeve. I.ve had no problems, want go to the doctor until 9-17-09, i guess they will give me my first fill. I know some people dont even get a fill, until much later. Good luck.

Aug. 28th is my date as well. Starting to get a little nervous. I've even been telling myself I shouldn't do it because I will not be able to pigg out like I'm used to doing. But I have waited about a year to get approved and I'll not going to let anything make me lose focus.

I am 5 days into my liquid diet. I was placed on a 7 day liquid diet. I would say, after about 3 days, I no longer had any cravings or hunger. I have been totally faithful to my diet and I'm too far to turn back now.

Good luck everyone, we are experiencing a life changing event together. For me, no more roller coaster weight loss. Overweight will be Gone once and for all.:)

I was just banded yesterday and got to come home today. The whole process was just a breeze and I am feeling wonderful only one day out. The pain is minimal!

Good luck to the newest banders this week!

I know what you mean about being nervous. I wish I could say I have been as faithful to my liquid diet as you have been. I went and had sushi last night :-( Well, they keep saying, "you won't be able to eat rice anymore" bla bla bla, I figured one last time for something I LOVE!! Good Luck to YOU!!!

      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.
