The drinking thing is HUGE for me. If I drink with a meal I can easily put away 2 cups of food because when you drink the fluid mixes with the food in the pouch and makes it mushier and therefore makes it easier for it to pass through the band. My doctor does a 30/60 rule (no drinks 30 minutes before or 60 minutes after) which is incredibly hard to follow but boy does it work!
That's awesome Jane!! I already shared this one with you but I had a great one tonight. I was at the gym and I was doing some leg presses. I'm really focused and then I look up and see this girl checking me out. Checking me out!! Jeeze never thought that would happen :biggrin:
I had another one today. A coworker of mine who has been on vacation since just after I got the band came back to work today. The first thing he said when he saw me was "Drew, are you shrinking?"
Made me smile and made my entire freakin' day!
I have my surgery tomorrow morning at 4am. I am soooo nervous. I've had quite a few surgeries before but this is my abdominal surgery. What did you do to kind of ward off the nerves?
I had one yesterday. I went and got a haircut and went to my friends to show her my new hair. She runs up to me and goes "OH MY GOD YOU HAVE A JAWBONE!!" I looked at some old pictures and she was right. I have a jawbone now :thumbdown:
