Current and Local and Breaking News for Denver, Colorado and the surrounding area : Rocky Mountain News Check this one out. Here in Colorado people who bought a prime landlot in the '80's, paid taxes, kept the lot in good condition are rewarded with having to GIVE a large portion of their land to the people who live next door. All of this BECAUSE the landgrabbers (squatters) supposedly have been using this land as their own for years. They live in the house next to the land. Of course if the original owners chose to build a house there, it would block the landgrabbers beautiful view of the Boulder FlatIrons Mtn Range.

I'm tired of Americans being so quick to judge other Americans for doing what has to be done in times of War. Do you honestly believe these types of things weren't done before now? (only now we have "the media" to inform us of it) If this would've happened in the previous wars...We may be yelling "Mein Fuhrer!"

Congrats RonKat! That's great! Men are able to shed the lbs quite a bit faster than women....I had surgery on 12/18 and I've lost 12lbs. I can tell my clothes fit better and I'm not gaining!! Are you on any type of POST-Op diet? It amazes me how different the pre and post-op diets can be. I'm on full liquids for another 4 days and then I swith to soft and moist. (which at this point will be heaven)

I did a little re-organizing. I hope you all don't mind. It was confusing my obsessive compulsive calorie starved mind.

Welcome brandymom1234! How is everyone? I'm now a week Post-Op. Doing pretty good! It feels great to feel thinner everyday!!!

Wow! MissyDFE you've lost 18lbs? Good for you! Are you doing alot of physical activity?

Hi all! I am a week post-op. I'm able to eat up to 4 ozs of runny malt-o-meal (chocolate..mmmm). Is this ok? I thought I'd only be able to eat about 2 ozs max. My DH has been helping me with all my meals also. It has been wonderful but Christmas dinner was very hard. Ham...one of my favorites. (I ate mashed potatoes). I've been drinking the Chocolate Unjury and it's pretty good. (20gms protein for 8 ozs).

I think Dr. Kirshenbaum in Colorado charges around $9000 for self-pay. You can check on the Colorado site or look him up if you'd rather not go to Mexico.

Hi All! Today is post-op day 4. I've been having trouble with gas bubbles! It makes me feel bloated and I can't eat hardly at all. How much are we suppose to be eating now? I've been drinking 1 oz. every 15 minutes. Or trying to. Eating maybe 3 times a day, but I'm counting the UNJURY as a meal. Is this ok?

Did anyone else have a lowgrade fever? I've had one since yesterday but my release form says not to call the doc unless it's 100 or above. ALSO, How are you all doing with drinking and eating? I also have meds that I've cut up into a bunch of pieces and I'm trying to take them when I drink my water. I feel stuffed....It's probably just swelling but it makes it hard to get everything in.

Hi all! I just got home from being banded yesterday. Other than a little pain....all is going good. I'd lost 4 lbs when I went to surgery already. Woo Hoo!!! How is everyone else fairing?

I'm already sick of broth. I wasn't a fan of it before and I can tell by the tim ethis is over the word will be LOATHE it. Ellisa where are you located? Freebird, hope all goes well. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you can. That goes for everyone. This day is going by very fast. I'm really getting freaked about not being able to eat certain things. Oh let's face it, not being able to eat anything..... food has been my comfort for many years......

Hi Ellisa! They moved up my surgery. It was at 12:30, now it's 9:15. I'll be thinking about you on Tuesday.....I hope everything goes well.

Where is everyone?

Today is pre-op clear liquids day one of 3. Help! I'm starving! There are so many different pre-op diets. I don't see how you all do it!...

My surgery is the 18th at 9:15. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. This will be my 8th surgery and I get afraid thinking "how many times can I roll the dice?" My sleep apnea has gotten alot worse in the last year. I started my 3 day liquid preop diet and I'm starving! HELP!

I feel guilty about having to have wls, but I too have lost and gained so many times that I'd finally given up trying. I'd resigned myself to getting huge for the rest of my life. (along with that I went into a deep depression) I didn't want to have the RNY because of all the rerouting and stuff but I'm afraid of the things I keep reading about lapbanders only being able to retain 50% of the weight loss they need too. I still chose the lb though and I will be banded on December 18th. Right now I've started the 3 day clear liquid diet and I'm starving....HELP!!!!! When I see shows like Oprah's, I would like to see them in 5-10 years also. Hmmm...do you think Oprah will have them on her show then? NOT......

This all just makes me so sad to think that so many of us have been and still are in loveless marriages. My first marriage ended after 4 years. I didn't even realize how bad it had gotten until I began dating again. To be able to feel sexy and wanted again.....I'm now in my second marriage and we've been together for 22 years. He is my best friend and lover. Yes the sex has gotten less over the years but we never go longer than a couple weeks. (and this is rare) Nume130, my heart goes out to you. Just know the best thing you can do for your children is to take care of their mother, then you can give even more of yourself to them. (and yourself)

Hi Dee! Who is your doctor? I'm getting excited and nervous! I have to start my pre-op diet on Saturday. (3 days before) All Clear liquids.....I know that's going to be tough. Then I'll be on full liquids for about 3 weeks after. Slow and steady. I'm told it will shrink my liver so the doc can see easier. Why did you choose the lapband?

Hello Everyone! I live in Lakewood, I'll be having surgery on Dec 18th. It's nice to see there really are other Coloradoans here! (Dr. Frank Chae)

I need help....I'm trying to download my ticker and it keeps saying Invalid file or Invalid URL. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

I'm getting banded on Dec 18th in Denver by Dr. Frank Chae....

Hi all. To make your pictures smaller, go to "MS Paint" at the top click on "image", go to "stretch skew". It will open up a place for sizes. Change this to 50% or whatever size you want. This should do it. I'm going in for surgery on Dec 18th. I have lots of before pictures but I have to get the courage to put them up. After pictures I can do.....

Hi Kelly! Setting up a thread for 12/18 bandits sounds great! We can support each other and we'll all be at the same place in our journey! This is the first time I've ever even joined a thread. Are you going to be on a liquid diet before your surgery? I'm suppose to be on clear liquids for 3 days before and then full liquids for 1-2 wks. What foods give your husband problems? I've heard some people can eat anything and others have trouble with lots of things.
