We're in this together...Joining the Gastric Band Gang

Hi all. Very apt to be listening and watching UK Eurovision entry as I write my first post. Have been reading lots of posts and am excited and nervous about joining the Gastric band gang . Op booked for beginning of June so am hoping to make some friends on here for mutual support as not going to shout about what I'm doing in the real world.
 
Good morning lily !
I have the band , I am 6 weeks post op this coming Tuesday :) and I am so grateful for it .. I have lost just under 3 stone in the total 8 weeks which includes the 2 weeks of liver shrink diet .. I don't feel like I'm in a diet at all , just not eating junk .
There is a thread on here called Weigh in at the Banders Cafe so come along and find us .. It offers some good support and help and laughter , lots of laughter ..
Everyone in here , no matter what surgery they have had , are so helpful and friendly .. I've been pushed along when I needed it , chuckled when I was low , cried even along with people's stories ..

P.s .. Start your own diary thread under the band section as this is an invaluable way of keeping your thoughts , feelings and weight loss in one place so easier to find .. You can say anything you want and feel on here as we all in the same boat and all rowing the same direction :)
 
Good luck for June :)
 
oooooh hello hunni..... come join the gang ...were a friendly lot, a little mad maybe BUT it all helps LOL ....don't be shy, tag along for the ride.....it most certainly helps to have the support..... the laughter helps too as does the odd kick up the bum LOL anyway Good luck and welcome x x x x x
 
Thanks all for the big welcome Very much appreciated. Will start a diary blog as Mindy suggested so that I can refer back to it in times of need! I have not got a huge amount to lose - about 4 stone so I think it will disappear quite slowly compared to some, so was not sure if my diary would be relevant. Have been reading all of your stories and it's really motivational and inspiring. Here's hoping I prove to be as worthy as ya'all
 
Hello chick ! Welcome and we will look forward to hearing your journey ! Xxx
