how long did u have to go on a liquid diet for?? by the way the change is amazing, you are an inspiration xx

[massagegoddess]

I did a liquid diet for 1 week about 3 weeks before surgery. i wanted to last till the surgery but couldn't. The last 2 weeks before surgery I ate like it was the apocolipse. My surgeon did not ask me to do it, i just did to try to shrink my liver. I did go into surgery a bit smaller than 3 weeks before. The week before surgery I was 305 I was 299.6 on the day of surgery and i was excited to not be 300 LOL

Did they make you do the weight loss monitoring? For how long?

[massagegoddess]

No, I was approved and was in surgery pretty fast. My surgeon did not require a diet, he doesn't like people to go into surgery malnurished and hungry

WOW!!!!...you have come ALONG way....i was watching all your videos from after your surgery ..and then i came across this one..WOW!!

[choirlady1976]

I happened across your videos as my sister recently got this surgery and I wanted to learn a bit and I am watching from teh beginning and I'm so impressed with your story, you look beautiful in all your videos, but the one thing I can notice is how sad you are here in the beginning, and you seem more drained.. and what a change!!! I'm not getting this surgery, but I'm still working to lose weight and you give me alot of inspriation!!

Hello everyone n to u to amelia hope everything is well with u n hope u feel better im doing my surgeey

[duclosduc]

y can't people just exercise and diet. Bypass has horrible side effects that ur surgeon will never tell you because if he/she did u probably won't do it.Oh by the way you told ur husband coz he's the one paying..tell you what, u gonna b taking injection of vitamin K for the rest of ur life. the reason u fell u can't drop any weight is probably bcoz u've a thyroid problem (hypothyroism) so better treat the underlying cause otherwise 2 years from now u'll be just as big with and unpaid bypass bill

I am very nervous about this as i have received my call about my first apt with my surgeon.. I do however have a question for those who have had this surgery... once you had it how long before you could go back to work? I have an office job.. so not like I do anything but sit at my computer...

[ANGELORO33]

I have a few questions don't know if you can answer them but I'm post-op now about a week and I don't feel as I'm losing weight people say I have but when would I start to see the great changes?

[BrandNewNana]

I'm having the surgery in 2 weeks and I'm super excited, but scared as well. People keep trying to talk me out of it and it depresses me a bit. They assure me that the lap band is the better way to go, but I just feel led to do it this way. I'm watching your videos now and hoping to be inspired by you to go ahead and move forward with this.
