December Bandsters!
thecoolestsarah replied to sherrypep's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
SHERRY!!!! My Sista-in-banding!!! I just got my Dec 21st surgery date yesterday!! WOO HOO! I'm a school counseling graduate student doing 3 days of internships in 2 elementary schools - so I totally feel you on the Christmas Break recovery time. I'm so excited to have a week where I'm forced to lay on the couch and drink broth. Right now that sounds like friggin HEAVEN if you ask me! So glad to find the Dec Bandsters and also read how totally positive you guys are. These support websites kinda rub me the wrong way for that very reason. I'm all about focusing on fitness goals, being positive, and just getting out and living life! I'm glad I found you guys - MY PEOPLE! hahahaha Ok so I'm a little nuts right now - long day at school hahaha Anyway, hugs all, I'm glad I found you and let's keep in touch ok! We can do this together!!! -Sarah -
Tomorrow is my surgeon consultation - I think I'm setting a tentative date for my surgery!!!

Have you called your doctor to check in and let them know how awful you are feeling? Maybe they will have a good suggestion for you.. Good luck friend, I hope you feel better soon! -

I feel a little nervous too, but I'm also just more nervous about how I'm going to fit this into my schedule. I love reading all these comments, it's making me feel so much more at ease! Hugs friend, you'll do it when it's right for you! -
Hi Char! I'm excited to watch your progress, as I'm just behind you in the process! I'll be here cheering!

November Bandsters!!!
thecoolestsarah replied to skintyprincess's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! I'm not sure yet whether I am going to be a Nov or Dec. bandster... I have my appointment with the surgeon on Tuesday to set my tent. surgery date. I'm so nervous! I've been in this process for so long - I can't believe it's finally coming up on the time when it will all start happening. I'm feeling nervous about the pre-op diet, maybe even more than the surgery itself! I've lost about 20 lbs already, and I'm looking forward to losing a chunk through the liquid diet. Nice to meet you all - and good luck on your upcoming surgeries!! I'll be watching you! -
hi! I'm a Portlander too, and I go to OWLS! Just looking for local friends

Hi! I go to OWLS too, just looking for local peeps to share my experience with.

Wow you are doing great so far! I go to OWLS too, just looking for other local friends that I can share my experience with!
-
Hi! I'm a Portlander too, I'm excited to hear how things are going for you!
-
hi! We have the same surgeon! I can't wait to hear how you are doing, I haven't set the date for my surgery yet.. I think I set it next week!!
-
Hi I think I need a buddy, and I love fun! hahahaha! I'm not banded yet, but I'm getting myself prepared in advance. I set my surgery date at my appointment next week - I'm thinking it will be over Christmas break. I'm in grad school for school counseling and we're about the same age so I think we would have a lot in common! Buddies?

Hi Kristi! Wow, you've done awesome! I think we have similar weight goals. I'm at about 265 right now and hope to get down to 150 next year. I'm 5'10 and I can't imagine being 150 but I think it's time to go for it. If I'm going to go through with this band surgery I'm going to pull out all the stops and go for it! I have been in this process for 6 months, I meet with my surgeon next week to hopefully set my surgery date!! Then one more visit after that we send everything off to insurance and cross our fingers that it goes through. I'm hoping to get my band over Christmas break.. I'm a student and I can use that two weeks off to recover. It's been great reading how much weight everyone has lost - it really gives me hope that I can do this once and for all. -Sarah

Anyone ever try Optifast or Medifast??
thecoolestsarah replied to Texasbandit's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was very successful on medifast. I lost 85 lbs in about 9 months. But like everyone else, once I went off the program the weight crept back up. I'm also on my lap band journey so that I don't have to do that extreme of a diet again. It worked for me, and I got used to it. I actually sort of envision that I will be eating like that for a long time during this process of weight loss, but I hope that I don't have to be that hard core. It's not a great way to live your life, you are very, very restricted. Good luck to you! -Sarah -
