Damn I missed this one ... wish I had of watched LOL but I was still at work though. It's rumored that Missy Elliot has had it done! But who really knows ... I'm sure alot of stars have but the are just keep it under wraps. So did Miss Jones the radio personaility here in NJ/NY. But who really knows at the end of the day it's their business.

I'm up this week too!! February 6th!!!! Can't wait to finally get this over with!!

Yeah me too LOL ... I have lost 15.5 pounds pre-op! But I think I will only be ther one day but I just didn't knowwhat to bring. So just gas-x and liquid tylenol ?? How long were you on liquids after surgery ??

UPDATE! I was 13.3 this morning! I am so amped about this and thank to all of you guys for the support!

Well it's getting kinda hard for me ... probably cause I am out of the best shake ... the chocolate!! But I am glad to say as of 2day 15.5 pounds down! 13 more pounds and I will be in the "2's" Hope I make it by Wednesday but I doubt it ... I am going to do alot of workout videos and she what happens ... but at the rate I am going Wednesday I will be 305! The more I loose now the closer to goal i will be post band!

I havent even told friends from work at all ... like people that I am cool with but from past conversations they always downed weight loss surgery one of them being extremely fat herself ... and I dont know what kinda lie to tell ... about why I will be on leave here desk is right next to mine ... I mean we are really cool and stuff but just have alot of different opinions on things. And she herself doesn't care how fat she gets. But anyway I don't know what to say of why I will be on leave.

Well guys my pre-op diet consist of a protein shake for breakfast ... protein shake for lunch ... protein shake for dinner and water throughout the day as well. I have been on it for 1 week now and I am 14 pounds down!!!!!!! I can't believe I haven't seen the scale move in yrs! So I am happy. I HAVE NOT CHEATED AT ALL! And I dont plan on it ... LOL everytime I look in the mirror I remember why I can't cheat I am just hoping I am not on liquids again for 2 long after surgery. I can't wait to even have a soup or a salad. However my out look on food is changing and now that it has been taking away from me so to speak I see how much my life really revolved around it and that sucks. But that's why I am having surgery I need help. But thanks for readind APPLES!

But I have a question once the cervix is scraped or whatever does the HPV stuff go away ?? I have a friend with HPV

AWW I am so sorry to hear this for you ... when was the last time you had been to the GYN ... I found some info online you might wanna read it Cervical Dysplasia - womenshealthchannel it's has to be something they can do... I hope all goes well for you honey bunches of oats! I pray, hope, and wish the best for you! Does the dr think it may be weight related!

Yeah ... thanks ... I know ... but I wanna keep this ball rolling! I am gonna like try to eat as little as possible ... my brain is now transitioning from "live to eat" to now "eat to live". So as much as I need to live on now! I am so determined it's crazy I have never been this determined before in my life.

Yeah guys I am nervous that I am going to cheat on this pre-op diet ... all liquids for the pass 3 days I have lost 5 pounds since Friday! But I am drooling dreaming of a big juicy ass cheese burger with lettuce and tomato with mayo, ketchup, mustard and ohhhhhhhh my god I am losing it LOL! I am finally seeing what the "head hunger" is that everyone has been talking about here. I am not really hungry. I am just craving really tasty things. I just need some pep talk or something cause I am DETERMINED to prove my mother-in-law and hubby wrong because they think that I am going to cheat. They are being very supportive about this. I mean as much as they can be cause they aren't saying mean awful things to me ... they just want me to do what makes me happy. But at the same time they think it's just this "lapband diet" LOL like it's just some new diet thing that I am doing. And I wanna prove them wrong I can DO THIS! I CAN DO THIS! But I'm thinking about fried chicken LOL. But did any of you cheat out there ... 5 pounds in 3 days is pretty damn good LOL. I should be motivated by the pounds lost but I am not I want some food. But I might as well get used to it cause no more food til after surgery ... wayyyyyyy after surgery cause I will be on liquids for 2 weeks after surgery. So anyone out there please help I need a buddy! Especially if you are doing pre-op right now 2. Thanks for reading APPLES loves you:tt1: *KISSES*

Yeah look at all you little pervs!! I knew that would catch you attention LOL!! Just kidding! But I was wondering ladies and gents... Is the sex better after band and some pounds have fell off. I know that I can't wait to have sex once I am thinner LOL!!! I tired of being the "pillow princess" and getting winded when I really wanna ride the hell out of my husband... But I wanna be so freaky with him but the weight restricts me from alot of things and I hate that so much!! I just can't wait to be maybe 40-50 pounds lighter. But I would like feedback from banded and people waiting to be banded.... Like what changed after banding and what you are looking forward to I am so excited and hoping for a January surgery date!! :bounce:I wish it would happen sooner than later!! I am so embarrassed to say it but we are all family here!! But I am so ready to see my vagina when I look down LOL!! Spouses please speak out as well if you have a banded partner how have the "changed" in the bedroom?!?!?

Thanks Queb I appreciate it! I am just trying to stay positive and think to myself well hey every pound you lose now ... you won't have to lose it after being banded!! But I didn't notice how much my life was centered around food until it is now taken away. And how much I think about food. It;s really crazy! I am shocked!

Ok I'm am seriously hating this fat bitch Tanisha! I am fat too but damn this bitch needs to be on this site with us. I can not stand and do not tolerate people who pick on people that they know they can beat or intimidate! It's not battle... just like a man beating a woman ... it's not a battle. But I will beat her ass! She is big, rude, uncouth and she uses it to her advantage! She knows that the white girl ... (no offense to white people) is not going to fight her so she picks on her and acts so stupid and ghetto... and it is so unecessary! But she will meet her match you better believe because I would whoop her ass! And I am a strong black african american woman and I am proud of my roots and heritage and I have different races of friends and we are all open to discussions like this and I hope you all are as well. But when they put black women on TV this way and it makes other races ... that don't really have black friends or know many black people think that this is the way we really are. And it IS NOT ... some are but not all .. just like red necks on TV ... I have sense enough to know that all whites are not like that ... but all people dont know any better ... all I am saying is ignorant people take these type of shows and run with it but anyway didn't mean to turn this into a racial thing but just voicing my opinion. But I still wanna whoop Tanisha ass all of the women in the house are immature and have alot to learn about themselves! But at the same time that's everyone walking the earth. Lots of love Apples!

Yeah what happened Bradley I LOVEDDDDDDD Clarissa explains it all LOL and Salute your shorts LOL ... our shows were soooooo much better than the ones on nick now!! I miss those days so muc now ... awwww brings sniffles to my nose.

I'm going to start the pre-op 2morrow. I am very nervous it's coming down to the wire. I have been looking at clothes and forming a wish list for closthes I want whenever I wanna snack. No more food for awhile ... LOL since I will only be on liquids after surgery. I need help I'm scared and I want to know how you all survived your pre-op. I need a smuch support as I can get ... my family is supportive but they kinda don't care ... they just think it's my "lastest diet" that I'm trying LOL since they are so used to me being on some type of diet anyway and never following through with it. But what they don't know is how discouraged I used to get when I would not see results and work my ass off. But I am determined to make this band work I will show their asses (i hope) I still have that thought in the back of my mind now that I will fail this. Cause of all the other times that I have failed. Now since everything is set in stone and I signed all the paper work yesterday. I don't know how to feel. I hope I don't die. And all the scary complication stories here. Just need some help anyone out there Thanks for letting me share! Apples!<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Thanks Jax ... I am sticking to the shakes ... I will do what I have to do ... to suceed. I am just scared and nervous! I just pray, hope, and wish that all goes well!

I know right ... makes you feel all warm inside ... like damn those days are gone!

I doooo sooooooo love it ... I like TV drama LOL ... not in my own life though! my motto... Too much drama on tv to have it in my life. So unnecessary!

well I am curious to know what makes you guys hurt? I am seriously not making a joke please don't take offense... but are ur hubbys oackage that big?? Where does the pain come in. Cause it feels really good to me when my husband goes deep LOL ... i feel so weird telling that LOL. But I do have the problem with him giving me foreplay too. He just wants head and he is ready to bang my brains out. But I only like foreplay because thats what turns me on than I have my moment where I wanna just jump on him. No foreplay needed I dont know. And maybe it's likethis for me cause I rarely see my hubby (military) so when we see each othe we both are pretty darn horny. But sometimes when its painful it's because of certain positions and I know this is because I am so big. Like from the back it would feel wayyy better if my butt was the size it used to be when I was like 16... So I am looking forward to skinny sex ... I know it would feel way better to me than it does now. But even before he was in the army it was really good when we first got 2gether (3 1/2 yrs ago) and of course I was smaller then. But as painful as you ladies are talking doesn't sound healthy ... I know women that don't have orgasm is normal but not excruciating pain ... unless it's something more. Have you talked to the GYN about it ... Or maybe the sex toys and stuff will help. I know when I get close to goal I am going to invest in alot of sex furniture and also a sex machine for when hubby's away LOL. But lots of love Apples!
