Topic: RE: How are the May Surgery Ppl Doing?
Hi Dianne, I am doing pretty well.
The food is pretty boring but I start on "soft food" on Friday. I had a little trouble with dehydration and low blood pressure for about a week. That really kicked my butt. I am not back to 100% but I am working. No problems with any foods so far and I am way too chicken to cheat. I have lost around 20 lbs only but my clothes are getting pretty loose. Some days I wish I could fast forward a couple of months, I have this fear that I am going to be the first person in history to lose only 20 lbs after WLS.

Hi Dianne,
I am almost 3 weeks post op and am doing well. I haven't returned to work yet I go back on the 9th. I've had few problems since surgery and am really suffering from boredom LOL. Yesterday and today I'm suffering from 'the blues" I don't know why, I have no good reason to be depressed. I think perhaps I may be mourning my ex. My ex relationship with food that is. I figure this to shall pass in a few days.
So far I've lost 28 pounds and 2 pants sizes so I should be dancing with joy instead of crying in my protein shake LOL.
Hope you are doing well,

Topic: Hello new to the room.
Hello, my lab-band surgery is scheduled 6-13-08. I am excited and ready. I am on the pre op 14 day diet. Which will be 3 weeks into it. I am so ready. Being overweight is worse than having cancer. I am survivor of almost 2 years. The cancer was cut out and its gone. My obesity is still with me. I wear my addiction and can't hide it. I am so ready to come out of protection and face the rest of my life on a lighter side. Lisa

Hi All
I just wanted to say I miss all my old friends from this forum. How is everyone doing? I guess most of us must be back to work and getting on with things. Just wanted to know how everyone was coping now that the worst? is over.
Hope you are all doing well.

Topic: RE: Seriously needing help with constipation/lightheadedness
I had major issues with constipation when I was first banded July 07. I was just rebanded on May 28th. I think the straining from constipation contributed to my band slipping. Now, I'm putting Miralax in my coffee each morning and taking 2 stool softeners per day. I don't have the cramping like you get from laxatives. And, the Miralax doesn't change the flavor. I'd suggest you give it a try.
