Well this is my last day at school.... trying to get sub plans around... poor band and orchestra kids have to watch movies all next week because I couldn't find a music sub.... have been trying.... actually the week before holiday break is ok for them to watch movies...... this is really going to happen...... I feel less nervous/anxious today then yesterday. I check in with my surgeon today at 4:30

I like that challenge idea.. and Team December!! AWESOME!!!!!!! I am getting more anxious by the day..... It needs to be OVER! Give me the drugs baby, I'm ready!

So..... I was with my mother last night ( I am single and she is taking me to the hospital and then I am going to go stay with my parents for a few days) she says.. here is the plan for Monday after your are discharged we are going to go to your sister's and make Christmas Cookies... WHAT????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I said.. well mother lets just play it by ear and see how I am feeling...I may just want to go home! Yes this is a busy time of year... but CHRISTMAS COOKIES....... I suppose I could just sleep it off at my sister's.. but I was like what the heck.....

Hey Heavy .. how is the shoulder now?

I hope everything went well for the folks that had their surgery today! Let us know how you are doing!

Sounds like you are well! Congratulations!!!!!! I am 5 days away!

ME TOO! I had a dream that I forgot to shave my legs and grossed out the surgeon and he wouldn't do the surgery...... yikes

Hi there. I am an overeater..... First step to recovery is admittance right..... anyway... I hope with my band (which I get Monday.. :eek:) that the I am hungry ALL THE TIME will go away....... you are not alone for sure! :nervous

I hope all goes well!!!!!!!! Good luck!

I dreamed last night that I forgot to shave my legs and grossed out the surgeon and he wouldn't do my surgery,.... the games our minds play...

Man.... I have been pretty ok until last night/today. My surgery is one week from today. I went to the doc last week and he was pleased because I lost 11 lbs and he said I was right on track.... I have also been SUPER SUPER busy with a production of Wizard of OZ that ran the past three days..... all of a sudden yesterday I got this horrible knot in the pit of my stomach.. ya know... the holy S*#% knot...... this is going to be a long week.

My surgery date is December 17th as well. Make sure you jump over to the monthly support groups and join the Merrry Bandsters. Good luck to you both!

I totally understand....mine have started coming back up (TMI,sorry) luckly I go for a check-in with the doc tomorrow....... You are not alone!

Two weeks from today it will all be over.. I might even be home by this time....(I am first on the 17th) :faint:

Two weeks from today it will all be over.... TWO weeks AAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is if this GROSS pre-liquid diet crap doesn't kill me first.....:faint:

Hi all. I found this link on MSN that goes through the worst going out to eat food and places in America. I found it interesting! The 20 worst foods in America - Health - MSNBC.com

I was SHOCKED by the Aussie Fries too..... 4 or 5 of us will split them before our meal... that is a HUGE appetizer! Won't eat that again!

Hi all. I am sick to my stomach in the morning after drinking my shake and eating my bar. It usually passes by 10ish. Anybody else? Also..., I eat at 7 and about 11 (I am a teacher so that is the time) and then I die between 11 and dinner at 5.... I am ok the rest of the day..... it seems that 11 to 5 span is REALLY long..... anybody else have this problem?:help:

So I started my liquid diet yesterday.... it isn't great.. but doable.... I am on it for a month... which was my decision (doc requires two weeks) Which leads to my question.... do you think I could have ONE real meal a week (high in protein and low in fat and carbs of course) It is day two and I miss real food already and I think that if I could have one real meal a week it would give me something to work towards... thoughts?

BELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to vent. I started my pre-op liquid diet this morning.... SO naturally I ate whatever and how much ever I wanted to this weekend. My grandmother was with me Saturday. I have something like 3 candy bars (the bite side Halloweenesque ones) and then dinner. So she goes to my mother on Sunday and says... Kelly ate so much on Saturday and I don't think she is serious about this. She should have been eating less (which I have done the 5 weeks prior to this since finding out about my surgery) and that would make the transition into the pre-op diet so much easier. I don't think she is serious and can do this. WHAT THE HELL. I love my grandmother... but right now I could drop kick her. This is the first time I have received any resistance from anybody and frankly it pi$&)$ me off. :heh::scared: Vent over.

I just had my 3 hour nutrition stuff yesterday (overwhelming I must admit) and my doc says one week liquids and 3 mushies.... she said though that some people get sick at the sight and smell of pureed chicken and chose just to chew a million times before swallowing.... me I think I will stick with cottage cheese and yogurt.... another interesting note is that my doc says THREE MEALS a day and that is all..... helps to develop better habits for later in life....

Sounds like it might be Acid Reflux/GERD

Wow... I am getting banded on 12/17... I think I better stop reading this thread!
