Hi all

Im going to be banded on the 9th of November and I am very very excited!!!!!! I have been waiting a long long time for this and thinking about it for years. Looking into all the pro's and con's but I think for me the hardest part will be this pre-op shake diet BLAAHHHHHHH.....I hate it.....but I have the big picture in mind and It's only 2 weeks out of my life. Funny the pre-diet has been my dread from the begining. There is something about powdered milk shakes that is just not nice at all :)

Does anyone else have a blog? If so, let's see it! Let's follow each other and be motivators!

Great Idea!:scared2:

I have just started a blog site at: My Lap Band Journey - Home

Not much info on there as yet as I have only just started it, bhave found it helps to keep me motivated to talk about whats happening. I really need t try to keep motivated during this awful pre-op stage as I am finding it really hard.

Look forward to the new group of November lap banders :(

Hi everyone,

I am to be banded on Nov. 9 and can't wait. I'm going for my pre-op class on Thurs., 10/29 and will get my final instructions. This has gone pretty quickly for me (about 2 months). I'm very hopeful but nervous. Good luck to all my fellow November bandsters.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
