Hi I'm 10 months post-op -48lbs. My eating habits are starting to suck because I work at night and sleep during the day. I stopped going to the gym and can't get my meal plan going or back to the gym. I'm not really sure how to plan my meals, snacks and work a exercise routine back into my day. I think my personnel life maybe getting in the way. I really could use any advice or suggesting anyone my have for me? 

I HAD MY SURGERY FRIDAY 12/3/2010. I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING GOING INTO OR OR COMING OUT. I WAKE UP IN RECOVERY ROOM AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO MY ROOM FOR OBSERVATION. I FELT NO PAIN GOT UP WALKED AROUND HALL AS SOON AS I WAS ABLE HAD LUNCH AND DINNER WAS RELEASED ABOUT 9:00PM THAT NITE. TRYING TO GET IN BED WAS THE HARDEST PART BECAUSE MY BED SIT HIGH A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE. I WAS UP AT 5:30AM SATURDAY MORNING NOT REALLY HUNGRY BUT HAD SOME SOUP, HOT TEA NO JELLO WAS GETTING FULL. HAVING A LITTLE DISCOMFORTED. KEEPING MY HEAD UP AND LOOKING FOR THE CHANGE IN THE NEW ME.

SURGERY DATE IS 2 DAYS AWAY AND I'M READY BAG PACKED. I'M ASKING FOR EVERYONE SUPPORT AND ENCOURGEMENTS BECAUSE I'M GOING TO REALLY NEED IT. I DID OK ON MY 2 WEEK DIET BUT IT WAS HARD.

Hi Everyone Im having 2nd thoughts about having the LapBand and my date is coming up soon Im so confused. Im not that heavey 250lbs always been big but not a bad shape. My family and friends are very concerned because they want me to try dieting frist to see how that works also talked to some one else in the medical field who says it's not a good ideal because i'm older and i my not be able to tone up my skin is loser than a younger person. The people I know that had the surgery look like they are sick or gain all or more weight back and I don't want that to happen to me. I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing for me so I have to step back and rethink this out. My son who's 15 does not want me to have this he cried all night when I told him I was going in for surgery in about a month. So I told him I would rethink this over. He said he would go to the gym with me if I don't have the surgery.

Hello OH

I have completed all training class and program. I'm getting ready to schedule my surgery maybe for 11/16/10 and I'm scaried to death. I have no support from my family or friends just my boyfriend, but thats okay i'm goning to make it with or without and family or friends because this is for me. Its a hard and i haven't had the surgery yet i've been tring to do a diet plan and joined a gym. I'm glad i do have one person at work I can talk to because she has had her surgery and she looks good. I'm looking for any friends to join me on OH for support and any wisedom you can give me for starting out and after. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back on OH but I will keep you posted.

Hi I have started the steps to have the wls done I've gone to the weight loss program, seen the surgeon, scheduled to see the therphist soon. Then I can call back to surgeon to set up date for surgey in January or February.
