congratulations. I know you will be fine. I'm so excited for you.

ooooooookay then.

First of all dear, turn that frown upside down. You are doing something brave and fantastic. It is scary, but it is also exciting isn't it? Yay, for you. Second, you need to make sure that your Dr gives you guidelines to follow after the surgery. Call his office and ask, they might hand out a packet when it's time for you to go home. It will ease your mind to know now, you should call the office. Stock up on broths and Clear Liquids because that is what you will probably be on the first two weeks at least. Maybe some disolvable gas x. protien powders, etc. But the best thing to do is call the Dr's office so you will be better prepared.

I have wine about once every two weeks, I hate beer so it wasn't a problem. When I go out (maybe once every few months) I have cranberry juice and vodka or if I am at a restuarant with friends but don't feel like eating I have a pomegranate martini. I was a drinker before surgery. Not every night by any means, but I would have a glass of wine or one drink about three times a week maybe. I only drink on weekends now (if I do at all) because it effects me so strongly now. A glass of wine used to relax me, now it intoxicates me.

Gaining Weight and Hunger
ReadySteadyGo replied to littlefroggy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My advice to you is to get off the scale and concentrate on healing for the first six weeks. We all want you to heal up nice and easy. I was starving the whole time. It sucks, honestly. But I know you can do it. Keep your head up. -
Hello from Texas!

Hi Ms.Kitty and welcome. I'm from Louisiana myself. -
Another thing I had to do for myself
ReadySteadyGo replied to Hollie519's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Way to go, Holly, that was very brave. I am a big advocate of self improvement. It sounds like you are off to a running start. Congrats. -
This thread is going to be sooo inappropriate!
ReadySteadyGo replied to WASaBubbleButt's topic in Rants & Raves
That is why I went for the lapband. I have a hard time remembering my two little flintstone vitamans. If I don't I won't die. I am too scatterbrained for that surgery. My weight loss might be slower, but I feel great, I'm looking good, and I eat healthy. What more could I ask for? -
No "real" food makes me crazy
ReadySteadyGo replied to MADE IT 2 MY GOAL..OH YEAH's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sassymama- Hi. I have been banded for almost six months and I have a secret to tell you. The first six weeks are the hardest. Not only are you hungry, but you have lost a way to cope with stress, something you have always had to give you pleasure...all at once. Cold turkey. Oh it's hard. But if you can get through it, this short time (though it doesn't feel short when your hungry and all you're allowed is clear liquid) then you can get through anything. If you break the rules now, at the beginning, it might be easier to not stay on track later on. I'm not your Dr. I am not telling you what to do, I am asking you to be strong. It gets better. -
Buffet discount for banders
ReadySteadyGo replied to tx girl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I avoid buffets like a plauge. I have eaten at one ONCE since banding and I ate too much and was miserable. I don't need "all I can eat" I finish way before everyone and the food doesn't taste good enough for the calories involved. IMHO Now if their was a decent salad buffet here, maybe I could change my rule. I have never been to Souper Salad. But it sounds lovely. -
I exercise now. For a month or two I quit and I did stop losing, but I also needed a fill quite badly. I started exercising for weight loss, but when I do it now it's for pride. I also wanted to say greythope and kizzie. I loved your post. It's like I was reading my thoughts. I only post "advice" type things in my monthly support group sections, mostly because when I am looking for advice I am feeling low and a few of the veteran banders way of putting things wouldn't actually help me. I think they help alot of people, but the way they put things would do nothing but anger me and I wouldn't be able to focus on the good advice they are trying to give me. Tough love works for some, I am more of a "positive reinforcement" gal. Good luck to everyone and much wishes of success to all the ones still working for their goal. And much respect and well wishes for those hard working ones who have reached theirs.

Nooooooo! Half-Blood Prince moved back 8 months!!
ReadySteadyGo replied to MistyD65's topic in The Lounge
They say it was because I spot opened during the summer that didn't have a big block buster coming out...I think it was because November is the time that daniel radcliffe's play comes out with the nude scene. I think they are giving the controversey some time to cool off.
