My LapBand Journey Post-Op Week 1

[dowhatitdo11]

I totally understand what u were saying about how u have to cook and be around ur family with food. Im being banded 2 days before thanksgiving Im going to need a lot of pray and determination to stay strong... Im going to ask my surgeon how long I will have to be on liquids before I can move to mushies on tuesday the day of surgery...

[AngieScura]

Good for you ...you look great ..

I got banded june 12 and I wish my scars were smaller like yours .. instead I have this 3 inch cut over my naval where the port is and 8 days later it hurts like the first day .

they have me on liquids for the next four weeks .. the upside is that i've lost 15 pounds in this first week .. but if you see what they let me drink you'd understand why .. anyway congraz you're doing awesome. tc, Angie

You go girl that is wonderful weight loss i pray that i can do as well as you when my turn comes...

[BANDEDin2009]

I know you will do great!

[killarmani]

I understand what your saying,it will get better the hunger thing,and you will cheat but just try not to cheat alot,remember its a life style change,so being to strick is not good,his the rule eat healthy most of the time,give yourself a break some of the time.And remember you are getting to know your band it takes time,im almost 3months out and im still learning,sometimes im on it and sometimes i feel like i dont have a band,so just take it slow,your doing great.

[Sandy77]

[BANDEDin2009]

[laurentayler87]

such a great job, congrats!!!! I did my upper GI and chest xrays today, i feel like im getting so close. I seriously cant wait and watching your video gets me all anxious lol

[BANDEDin2009]

Thanks...and you're well on your way!! It will be your turn in no time!!

I have 4 scares that are about 1/2 inch long and my 5th scar is about 3 inches long..that is where my port is...I wish i had small scars like u. When u heal may be u can show us..I will show u also once i get webcam.

[BANDEDin2009]

Yeah i will...im just debating on wether i'll do it live on the video, or just show pics...i have stretchmarks, from my past pregnancies, so im a little shy about that, but i'll definately show them someway...lol

[31cristine]

it's been 70 days since my surgary and i know what ur talking about it is hard to smell the food and not be able to eat it.  Once you are able to eat solid foods you will be able to eat what ur family eats just not as much!

[BANDEDin2009]

Oooh I cant wait till that day!!! lol

[CyndiHunny]

You look wonderful! 8lbs that is so great!

[BANDEDin2009]

Thanks Cyndi!!

[brownin0377]

[BANDEDin2009]

Thanks Girl!!  You too!!

[1Sweethoneybunz]

Very good! You go girl :-) I'm glad that you are doing well. 8 pounds in a week is great! I love it :-) I would eat earlier 2 or let hubby cook lol. Mine will be lol.

[BANDEDin2009]

Thanks so much!! My hubby has been great with helping me thru this...when he doesnt get in too late from work, he'll get something together for dinner. But I have been eating earlier, and it seems to be helping alot.

[BANDEDin2009]

Thanks Sterling!! Thats a great idea! I think i'll plan to do that sometime this week, so that they will be set for the weekend and early next week.

[sterlingstar1]

Congrats! Thats wonderful! I'm feeling you about the cooking. It's just me and my husband, but he loves to eat. Thank God he is okay with leftovers. Last week I cooked a couple of different meals on one day, but had enough to last him all week. He was able to heat and eat...what a relief. that kept me from cooking everyday. As of today I'm down 22lbs.

[BANDEDin2009]

Congrats on the 22lbs down!! Great Job!!!  Because I KNOW its NOT EASY!

[CoCoBandster]

Look at that smile! Wow!!!! You look awesome! I am soooo proud of you girl! 8lbs? Booyah! Yippee! I am so rooting for you! I cant wait til October!

[BANDEDin2009]

Thank You So Much!!! Im really starting to feel alot better about myself. Im rooting for you as well....Trust me it seems far now, but October will be here before you know it!

[DaChanginQueen]

You are doing great! I have kids too and fixing their food was a huge temptation once I got to mushies and solids again. What worked for me was to eat my meal before them so I was not hungry while cooking...problem solved :)

[BANDEDin2009]

Thanks, and i will try that tomorrow!!

[Ellamae2]

Congrats on your first 8 lbs. I look forward to seeing some fabulous before and after pics.

[BANDEDin2009]

Thanks Girl!!  I can't wait to start changing clothing sizes so i can take those after pics!!
