Way to go Alana. I am new and get banded on the 28th of July. I look forward to when I can share a weight loss milestone. Elaina

Hello...my name is Elaina. I am also getting banded on July 29th. You have to lose at least 5 pounds. What are you doing to lose that weight...which diet option? Either option, you are taking in less than or about 1,000 calories. What exactly are you eating? Also, are you writing it down? That helps a lot so that you can look back on what you've eaten in the day. Also...any excercise? Elaina

Welcome. I too am new. I have my surgery on July 29th and it feels amazing to finally make this decision. I'm 28 and at a crossroads in my life. I am like you. Diet and excercise has only go time so ar. I am exhausted from playing tennis 2 hours twice a week and pilates every day of the week. I am just beat. So tired from fighting this war with my weight. You are not alone. We are all here to help. Message me anytime. Best, Elaina DiCarlo

Hi everyone. My name is Elaina. I am having the lap band surgery on July 28th. Not technically August but close enough, right? I am excited about this decision and the ability we all have to communicate through this forum. But I have to admit, I am scared. How did you all feel after the surgery...Did you throw up? Were you sick to your stomach? Can you feel the device inside you? I know these seem like silly questions...But I would love to her from anyone. Thanks Elaina :lb12: P.S. Good Luck to all of your out there like me who are embarking on this new journey....
