8/20/2009 Status Report for All August 2009 Bandits!!
KayVee replied to sandiegokate's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey ya'll, I was banded on thursday, 8/27 and feel pretty good. Doing what I can to stay hydrated, eating applesauce, yogurt and protein shakes. A little only, but enough that I'm not hungry. I'm feeling ok, no gas pain, no incision pain and just sleeping on and off when I feel like it. Looking forward to increasing my intake. I enjoy hearing from other bandsters about their journey. -
Hi girl, IT IS DONE! Boston on board and I"m a little sore, but doing ok so far. My throatis the worst for wear, from the tube in my mouth for the surgery. I'm just drinking what I can, water and a little protein drink and half of a yogurt so far. Have a great weekend, talk to you soon. K

I hadn't chimed in yet since my surgery was at the end of the month. I'm banded now and started at 312 (my highest) and prior to surgery I was a 296. We'll call that today's weigh in and i'll check back next friday with an update!

I live in Grapevine and will be banded next week at Baylor Gvine. Congrats to you and you should check out some of the August 2009 Bandsters posts. We love to know all about each other and help track our successes. Congrats to you and where do you live? I'm Kathi.

Miss K- Congrats and I'll be there myself soon enough. Still on the liquid wagon and will be very happy when that is over with. Looking forward to more info on your experience. Rest up!

8/12/09 My Heart's in the Right Place
KayVee commented on Band_Groupie's blog entry in The Sweet Spot
Doc told me he'd be putting the port sorta in between the girls...now I'm thinking, after I've lost some wieght and the girls are really sag bags, maybe it would make more sense to have to port UNDER one of them, kinda stealth-like! I'll have to discuss! AS usual, BG, you inform AND entertain! -
8/14/09 Taking the Bad with the Good
KayVee commented on Band_Groupie's blog entry in The Sweet Spot
just sit back and think where you'd be today without the band! Ahh, puts it all in perspective huh! I start liquids again tomorrow! And I'm actually looking forward to it! Don't stress, you're in ONEderland! hugs! -
Still not enough to make me reconsider, but dag gum, I could have lived without this information!! Between my legs!! Wait until I tell my g'friend who is a month or two behind me to be banded. She's gonna flip! My thought is, if I'm not awake for it, I won't be embarrassed! Thanks for the info?

Hey Kathy, thanks for the note. I'm getting my band on Thursday, Aug 27. I start my liquids at the end of the week. I'm very ready! How was your weight loss, I see your posts and follow your progress also. Keep up the good work and I'll let you know how I'm doing after banding! Take care.

7/27/09 Murphy and the Grad Party- Part II
KayVee commented on Band_Groupie's blog entry in The Sweet Spot
I'm tired after just reading about all your hard work! I wonder if I lost any weight from all the excitement! My pneumonia is gone (or gone enough for surgery) so all systems GO for now. I just have to stay healthy! AND I WILL. Years from now, DS1 will have such wonderful memories of all your hard work and be thankful. He's lucky to have such a talented and devoted Mom. -
You rock BG! I just might get out one of my Sweating with the Oldies tapes out and do some dancing from afar! I get happy feet often, myself. Keep it going down!

to Miss J Some don't have a pre op liquid diet if their BMI is not too high. My dr. wants to make sure my liver is shunk so it stays out of the way for the banding. I'll have 2 weeks of pre op dieting! Also, the phenomenon of eating everything in sight prior to the surgery (or start of the pre op) is quite common, but unnecessary (according to most). It's that last supper syndrome where we visit with all the foods we love most because we don't think we'll ever see or taste them again. Fortunately, as I've read, we'll be able to eat anything we want, eventually, keeping good choices in mind and becoming satisfied with much smaller portions.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not into hot and spicy much, but some in my family are. I found some tomato flavored buillon some time ago and have saved it to rev up some of my buillon too. I can have grits too on my liquid diet and if I make them with chicken or beef broth...divine!

Darcy's Lap Band Procedure from start to surgery and beyound
KayVee commented on Mrs. Mateo's blog entry in Blog 69590
So it has been more than 6 months...are you banded? How is it going? I'd love to know more..inquiring minds you know. Good luck with your journey. -
Hey ya'll I started a blog in May when I thought I was going to be banded in June. I never thought I'd still be waiting, but Aug 27 is my new beginning. I would love for anyone to check it out and get to know me and my journey a little better. I also made up my August BANDits tag, what do you think? I love it and green is my favorite color. Since Peridot is august's birthstone, I think it fits. Have a good one all. kathi

I'm with Jason on the Mondays. When I did Weight Watchers (for over 18 months) I went to a Sat morning meeting and weighed in then. Well, after that it was a free for all for the weekend, and get back on track on Monday. I'm not sure how I'll approach this weigh in, but I"ll be accountable to all the other August Bandits and figure something out. Wouldn't it be great to now worry about saboutaging myself and just eat normally no matter what day I weigh in? I've already told my family that I want a GOOD scale for the house, I don't currently have one. Maybe my girls will get one for me as their going away gift! :biggrin: They are moving out on Aug 28 and I'll be banded on the 27th...ahhh a happy weekend all the way around!

Ok sweetie, are we close to lopping another head? Another busy weekend ahead, hope all is well in the burg! Take care.

Good luck and God Bless you. I have tears from reading your post and I will pray for comfort.
