Jay You poor bugger!!! I hope you are feeling better soon!! Hope the antibiotics have at least kicked in and the pain is gone!

You've still lost a lot of weight Lellow in a short space of time and your body doe go through phases in its weight loss. We still have to watch what we eat though and try to make healthier choices, The 5th isn't really that far away!!

Sometimes the anaesthetic can knock you around for a while but hang in there, I am sure it will get better. Just ensure you keep up the eating etc

Hey Moe, great to hear you are doing ok! And I hope the business trip goes ok!!

That is unfortunate but at least it isn't months away and you'll still be an All Star :wink2: I hope you can handle the diet for a few more weeks!! Good luck!

Goodluck to Ange05 (leading the way), arizonagirl, cakegal, CeeLeeW and her daughter, dglaeser, everhopeful, Gautinggirl, Jadeesmjk, lachamb40, Lauralee, mom2twins, ohjuly7878, SheeShee, spayneuter2008, suchatimeasthis, tigerlilyhair, trush 5713, VWalker and anyone else getting banded tomorrow!! That is one big group!! Positive Vibes for your surgeries and recoveries!! HUGS!! :thumbup:

Started my preop today a few days early. Stupid me though decided to also concrete a 5mx2.5mx0.15m area. Dad helped too, but Barrowing 1M of concrete myself and then helping to level it. Then edging it while dad troweled it on not much food wasn't the smartest thing I have done!!:tt2: Looks great though!:thumbup: Didn't think the headaches would start this early and I am really tired (but this could be contributed to by the concreting). I have been cranky too..luckily not too many arguments whilst concreting, well not due to my crabbiness anyway I think I'll be sleeping really well in the coming weeks so I can get over the hunger!!:thumbup: 18 days until surgery! The Positive of starting this diet is it brings the surgery closer and makes me feel excited that this is really going to happen!:thumbup:

There are quite a few of you being done tomorrow!! here is the list http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f183/wishing-all-12-08-08ers-best-tomorrow-72443/ The list of those being banded has been kept up by Lanakila and is up the top of the August 08 topics. Good luck guys

Hey Jen, I started mine on Saturday and I have been a good girl!! Just make sure you drink plenty of Water because you do get somewhat dehydrated! Day one wasn't fun, day two was ok, day three has kinda sucked, I'm hoping now I'm heading into day 4 things will start to improve :thumbup: Just keep persevering as it will only be a few weeks and then you won't feel as hungry as you do during this... for a while anyway Between Sat am and Mon am I have lost 2.4 kilograms!! So seeing that weight loss is very motivating!! Oh and if you are doing the Protein shake (I've been doing Optifast for three meals) use cold water to mix them as it tastes better!

Good Luck Ange I'm sure you'll be fine!!

Hey Lauralee, I've had Laser eye correction and it is the best thing I have done for myself!! (well until this band I hope :thumbup: ) It is so great to be able to not have to wear glasses, not have to constantly wipe them clean or dry them if it rains or clear them when they get steamy.

That is still great Lellow and I have heard it said it isn't good to lose more than 1-1.5kgs per week anyway!!

Guys DEFINITELY lose weight better than girls! That is why it is extra specical to have a female win the Biggest Loser!! And hey a weight loss is a weight loss :thumbup:

Hi Dunna, welcome and good luck on the surgery and recovery!!

Hey Gina and Welcome! It is great that you are finally able to get this surgery! Good luck!

Welcome Vera and Good luck for tomorrow Guys!!!

Welcome Mrs EOD :thumbup: I'm also getting banded on Aug 27!! It isn't long now!!

:thumbup::party: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CUTIE!!!! Hope it was ok!!

Good luck to those beng banded!! Hey Michelle, feel free to pop on over to August 2008 Bandsters - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum There is a whole bunch of us being banded in August and we are sharing the experience and giving support! There are people from all over the world and whilst not everything is the same in what we have to go through, we are pretty much in similar boats!!

Hey Ellinida Thanks for the encouragement!! I'm not stressed I think it was more likely I wasn't drinking enough water, doing such a physcal thing for hours and being only day one, the headache was a given anyway and the crabbiness :biggrin2: Have been feeling better, yesterday was easy, today a little harder going back to work (I have been hungrier today) but I am able to push through the hunger and wait for the next meal which is great! And hey I have lost 2.4kg in 2 days!! :frown: I would LOVE to take a hot bath but being on permanent water restrictions here in Aussie land I have given them up in favour of quick hot showers

Good luck to btimberlake, healthy903, dancing bear, jenbug, jolinbrown, liquidbluegal, MaryJo881, mom2twins, RestlessMonkey, revswife, soontobehottie, sweetpea0202, Tawna, zukagirl22 and anyone else being banded tomorrow!! Wishing you all a speedy recovery and sending positive vibes your way!!

I LOVE my little 1GB Ipod that is great because it is so little (Slightly bigger than a posatge stamp) and light (and it only cost $64)!!. I have created a folder on my computer that I have saved lots of upbeat songs that I have labelled 'Exercise Folder' it has at least 200 songs on it and I can change this whenever. The little one is great because it is so easy to use and won't jolt around when I wear it exercising

Hmmmm I might have to give that a go but I'll wait until the weekend...I don't want to risk hating it if I do it during my work week I plan on waiting until I can get to work before having my brekky shake...I'm usually up by 615am and start work at 8am so if I can wait until I get to work, I will be able to manage the hunger better by starting the 'eating' later!! Well I'm going to give it a whirl! I also managed to get some groceries today a LOT quicker than usual and spent $60.00 less :crying:
