My prayers are with you and your family. I'm sorry to hear about your niece.

Well men don't always make smart choices (like teasing wives when dieting). I threw a chicken breast at my husband a week after I had the lapband. LOL He brought home KFC and ate it right in front of me and then he told me how good it was. When I got upset because I miss food he made fun of me so I threw a chicken breast at his head. Not my most mature moment but it felt great.

I tried trimspa along with about 5 of my co-workers and we all came to the conclusion that anna nicole smith is a stinkin liar. lol

I had my 1st fill jan. 23rd and I still don't have much restriction. I am getting my 2nd fill next week so I hope it helps.

I just had mine done 1/05/06 and if I had to do it again tomorrow I would in a heartbeat. Good luck and calm those nerves just think about the end results. I know it is a scary process but once it is over you realize it wasn't all that bad.

How cute is this? I also teach pre-k and you wouldn't believe the things they say.

I was banded on January 5th 2006 and for about the last 5 days I haven't had any restriction at all so I have had to really watch myself. I was very emotional the day I realized I didn't have any restriction, I assaulted my husband with a chicken breast but thats a story for a different day.

I am from Venezuela and my grand-father is a doctor there. Had I been able to go home to have the surgery I would have because I trust the doctors and the hospitals. If you haven't been anywhere else why would you just lump every hospital and every doctor together. I think maybe you were trying to be helpful but somewhere along the line you came out sounding like a biggot. If you don't know about something it is best not to give advice. America is not the only country that is civilized.

Oh great so I'm going to have to drink that berium crap again? I'm going in for my first fill on the 31st and I am scared to death of the needle but now I'm scared of the berium.

I made myself miserable once by not chewing enough and I will never do it again because I felt so awful. You have gotten great advice here so good luck. Will someone please tell me what "PB" is?

Yeah that would bum me out too. Well slow weight loss is healthy weight loss. 46 pounds is great! You go girl!!!:clap2:

I have to have my bra and a great pair of jeans. That's all I really need. I go grocery shopping that way.:eek:

$@#$ the mother*&^%@^# scale!!! I weighed myself this morning :help:

I just had my lapband procedure on January 5th. The first few days were hard just because I knew I couldn't eat the food that I was used to eating but it is getting easier day by day. It's a life altering adjustment and it takes time to get used to it and I am still adjusting. You have two young boys who are going to benefit alot from this because you will be healthier and around alot longer. I have only had this for 4 days longer than you so I can't really give a success story quite yet. All I know is it does get easier day by day. Good Luck!

I'm so excited that it finally happened! I was so nerveous pre-op because It thought something was going to go wrong and nothing did. I am just a little bit sore today but it's going to pay off in the long run. :)

Hey skbishop you are in great hands when you are with Dr Morton. Don't you just hate waiting on the insurance company? I wanted this so bad but I thought the insurance would turn it down. Surgery itself is not bad at all. I am the biggest baby there is and Dr Morton and Shawna (his assistant) put my mind at ease and calmed me down before the surgery. Good Luck!!! I hope you get approved soon!!

Thank you guys for all of the support. I LOVE MY BAND SO FAR!!

Dr. Morton in southern hills hospital in Nashville is great. He just did my band yesterday and I couldn't say anything other than he is wonderful and very professional. Good luck on your move to Nashville.

Hi my name is Vanessa I live in TN and I am getting banded on 1/5/06. Tomorrow is the first day of my 2 week diet. :eek:

Yes my surgery is with Dr Morton. I am so ready to do this. I have been on my liquid diet for a week now and I have one more to go. I'm hungry but it's not that bad.

Great job on your weight loss. How exciting!!!

:devious Ok so today is my first day of my 2 week pre-op diet. I can do this but everybody at work brought in cookies, cakes, sausage, cheese and all kinds of other foods. After I mopped up my drool I said oh well I don't expect anyone to cater to me. Well I went to the breakroom to get my protein shake out of the fridge and IT WAS GONE!!! Right about now I think I am going to kill somebody. LOL Here are all of these people who can eat whatever they want and have food all over the place but they chose to drink my funky protein shake. I swear if I smell Boost on anybody's breath they better hope they run faster than I do.

I found out that it was one of the old ladys I work with. She said she didn't know and that it had been in the fridge all week so she figured it was fair game. It was only in the fridge about 2 hours but I am not about to argue with a 70 year old. lol
