Jacklynrae Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 That is so exciting! I know the pre-op diet is brutal. I had also gained almost 10 lbs before going on pre-op thanks to an amazing all inclusive vacation! I wasn't able to lose everything but yet I started too late! You seem like you are starting in great time and already making progress! Good Job!! Keep up the good work! God Bless, Jacklyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks, Jackyln - I was going through a bunch of stressful issues when I first started and it totally worked against my diet. Thankfully I'm back on track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaMichelle Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks, Jackyln - I was going through a bunch of stressful issues when I first started and it totally worked against my diet. Thankfully I'm back on track! That's one of the wonderful things about the band, even when you feel stressed and still want to turn to food the band will be your safety net to prevent you from over eating and messing up your progress!!

Kittycat Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 That's one of the wonderful things about the band, even when you feel stressed and still want to turn to food the band will be your safety net to prevent you from over eating and messing up your progress!! Now that'a miracle, isn't it!!! There are so many amazing reasons for all us to do this for ourselves! Even if you wanted to eat a whole quart of chocolate ice cream on a rough day, you can't!! LOL!!

MamaMichelle Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Now that'a miracle, isn't it!!! There are so many amazing reasons for all us to do this for ourselves!Even if you wanted to eat a whole quart of chocolate ice cream on a rough day, you can't!! LOL!! Cathy Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllll- That's not entirely true Cathy... Ice Cream is one of those foods that the band isn't created to restrict. It's called "eating around the band" since Ice Cream becomes a liquid when melted it will slip past the band with no issues!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
