Hey Cajun, how do you like the Jay Rob Protein powder, we have it at Kroger and I thought I'd give it a try. Ever tried Peanut Butter and banana mashed all up together? Is mashed potatoes out of the question because of the carbs? Have you ever tried baby food? Have you ever tried muscle milk? Do you know how to prepare tofu? I've never tried it. What about soy milk? Yeah almost 20 questions, but if you don't ask you don't learn right? Judy

You'll be fine honey....you have a goal....to be the best you can be for your hubby when he comes home. Yes it will be major changes in my eating habits, but that's the whole point....my eating habits SUCK!!!! that is why I'm a tube of lard, because I can't control my portions, I"m a food addict. I need this, for my future, to have a future. Look at is as a blessing....and stay possitive, and we will ALL be her for you !!!! Hope i didn't make you feel bad, never meant to do that.....I'm a purdy tender hearted gal, and I would never want to hurt your feelin's. HUGS

I see this as an oppertunity of a life time, and I'm takin' it. I can't wait to start a life of optimism. To see actual results, to be encouraged everyday, to know my life will get better with every day that passes. What's not to LOVE !!!! I'm gonna be HOT again !!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!

NOT ME.... I'm as ready as I can be, I'm not scared at all, I'm excited, and there is NO WAY I'm backing out of something that is going to change my life in so many ways. Why would anyone back out, I don't get it..... When I found out about this procedure, I started making plans to get it done. This is the best thing that could happen for me. A way to loose weight permanently !!!! No falling off the wagon, will power be damned! I have NO pre-op diet at all. Maybe because I (as these gals say) am a "light weight"...I was REAL happy about not dieting. I'm having my surgery in the States, I have complete confidence in my Doctor. I've never had any problems with any surgery I've ever had. I've had 2 C-sections, and a hysterectomy. Came through with flying colors...no problems at all. I'm ready FREDDIE!!!!

november 3rd for me!!!!!!! Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!

how did you get your weight loss ticker on your profile? would you give me the insturtions? my email is judystilson@hotmail.com

well hopfully we'll get some good feed back from that question...it makes perfect sence to me too. My Dr. told me that he dosn't want me eating straight mushie carbs...so what does the mean? No mashed potatoes "I think". Dang it, I kind liked the idea of mashed potatoes or mashed sweet potatoes. But it seems mashed Beans are better. I have so many questions about food. What and what NOT to eat....I'm hoping someone has a list of DO's and DON'T EVEN TRY IT. :biggrin0:

Dang, I like my butt.....I have a pretty butt....even if it is big..:huh0: oh well.....only time will tell how things shape up....still cayn't wait!!!:biggrin0:

I HAVE A DATE ! I HAVE A DATE ! I HAVE A DATE ! I HAVE A DATE ! NOVEMBER 3RD IN JUST TWO WEEKS!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED !!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY TO GET STARTED!!!!! I'M DOING THE VICTORY DANCE !!!!!!!!!!:thumbup:

:blush:I'm going to my first consutlation/seminar tomorrow Oct. 22nd. I'm ready to get this ball rolling. I guess I'm as anxioius as I've ever been, because I finally see a way out of this fat life. I'm so ready to begin another chapter, a better chapter. I'm ready to have confidence in myself, to have self esteem, to feel like a woman, instead of a slug.....so so so ready.

You were able to brisk walk directly after sugery? That is good to know if you were. Also is it a good idea to start walking now to get used to the exercise?

HOw did you get your ticker on your profile?

LMAO, Amen on the chicken fried...yep never fails my monkey showed up about 30 minutes about, and it feels like he's in my stomach now...LOL. Keep em at bay.....get your garlic out !!!!

I feel the same way about that dad blasted monkey....he's killin' me....gotta get him gone !!!!

I'm having my first consult/seminar Oct. 22nd. I'm eating like it's my last horah....because I know after surgery....that will be no more....I love food. I know how hard this will be....so I'm eating while I still can....is this normal? :sad0: I feel like a total PIG.:welcome:

Yep...I'm doing it now....I don't know why....It's like....my brain is saying..."eat while you still can"...I feel like a total pig. But the girls here have assured me that it is a normal reaction....and when you have surgery, things change.

May I ask what you dislike about the band? I've not heard good things about it. I don't plan on getting it, just curious.

I feel the same way....although I don't know any of you well....it is truely a family of friends.

That is what I want more than anything, Not to morn the loss of food. It has been such a BIG part of my life for so long. I've been through so much in my life. Two nasty divorces, with cheating husbands that completely depleted my self esteem. It took a long time to find who I was before them. And now that I have real love in my life, I want to be all I can be not just for him, but for ME. To enjoy the rest of my life without food addiction. I want to eat to live, not live to eat. I want to do all those activities that normal people do, and like you said have the desire to do them, not just watch other people do them. I'm so ready...to change my life. Thank you so much for your encouragement, it means the world to me and I'm sure eveyrone here to have other women to talk to, who've "been there"....this is unlike any other site I've ever been on. You have not idea the impact your site has on us that are ready to begin this jorney of change....I'm ready to transform in to that butterfly I spoke of when we were talking about Tattoos. That will be mine...thank you all !!!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...just what I needed to hear....I want out of the body....and to have all those things....I need that pep talk....THANK YOU!!!!!!

Do you regret any of it? Is it still worth all you've been through? I knew when I heard of the surgery, I wanted it, I didn't care what I'd have to go through. I just want a way to control my portions, my appitite, my urges. I still want to be able to eat what I love, just not much of it. I can live with that. I just love food so much....I worry about the loss if it....it would be like a death...it seems....I don't know.... is it?

I'm going for my first Consult/Seminar Oct. 22nd. I'm hoping for a surgery date soon after. I'm so ready for this....I'm eating like it's my last horah....because I know afterwards my life will change....is this normal?

The ghrelin comes back???????

Hey Ladybug I read that your daughter is getting surgery soon along with your Sister? I see on the ad on this website taht they are offering a special of 5500.00 including airfare, can this be ture? This is at Emmanuel Medical. May I ask the Total cost for you, including airfare and everything. And have you had any follow up visits?

I see this protein powder is really expensive. How much do I need to buy? I'm waiting for a surgery date, and want to be ready. Is this something I'll need from now on, to get my protien? I read that most use the shakes daily, to get the proper protein intake. Will I need this with the clear liquid diet during the 10 day post surgery? Please give me as much information abot what to do with the powder, how to mix it, what to mix it with, during the different stages of recovery. THank you JudyJudyJudy
