It has now been oooh....11 days since I had my surgery and I am soooo ready to get my first fill!! DOES EVERYONE FEEL THIS WAY? I just wanna get the show on the road if ya know what I mean! I am hungry still and I am really trying to be good about what I eat but I am NOT losing any weight. I am also exercising...I'M FRUSTRATED!!! I know that my body needs to heal but man oh man....I wanna start losing again...I do have a little restriction when I eat some things and I know that I should still probably be all mushy with what I eat...I don't know...I just needed to vent and need to hear some positive thought!
Thanks!!!

I am home from surgery and I am feeling a little frustrated with myself....I am hungry sometimes...which I guess it wouldn't be normal if I wasn't but I have picked up some things and put them in my mouth that I shouldn't have!(i.e. lunch meat....cheese) I am feeling a bit down on myself. I did exercise yesterday though! I am not eating anything BAD but stuff that is not pureed....my NUT told me to just go straight to puree and not follow a complete liquid diet this week? I am eating stuff off the list but not necessarily making it into mush! I don't know...I also have not lost a pound in the past couple days and know that the REAL weight loss won't probably start until the first fill. Geese....I just want things to start moving and I know that I AM the only one who can do it!

My nerves got the best of me right now! This is it!!! I am on my way.....5 days...February the 4th! Please pray for me...I hope that everything goes ok!!! And that this is the tool that I have been looking for. Not to mention that I am so ready to be done with this pre-op diet and ready to be post-op! Let's get it done!!! AHHH...I CAN'T WAIT! or wait can I !!!?????

I have to say that since getting on this website I have found that I am more motivated and less nervous than I was say 48 hours ago! All the support and friendships that seem to be built on one common thing that we all share: The journey. Most of us have spent our whole loves being made fun of or ridiculed for our weight and now we finally are gonna get a chance at life in ways that we have never been able to see it before. 

          Now i won't have so much foot and ankle pain after an 8 hour shift behind the chair. My passion other than my baby boy is doing hair!! I love the creativity and social aspect of my job. Lately, that hasn't been the case. Due to my weight I have began to have severe foot, back and shoulder pain. It has affected my work and playing with my son. I know that after YEARS of dieting and YEARS of pills and binging and purging that I have a new tool that is going to help me finally regain my life.
         I have been overweight my whole life but after having my son I reached an all time high. I have spent the last year and a half on medication even doing a 5k to try and shed the weight and it's just a vicious cycle that I can't beat.
On February the 4Th I AM sure that I will be a nervous wreck when I go into that operating room just like I was the day that Drew was born but like the first surgery I had(my c-section) what I will gain out of it will by far out weigh the pain of surgery!
Happy thought to all you and thanks!

Hi everyone!
I am just begining my journey with the lap band. I have a very positive outlook and am looking for any advice. I am nervous and excited all at once. Surgery is set for the 4th of February! Let's see how it goes!
