This is finally where I belong. I thought it was going to be June 22, but after a semi positive for sleep apnea, I'm all set for July 20! I hope this group comes up with an AWESOME name, it almost makes moving from the June group worth it! I've done it the long insurance way and glad to finally be here!

Never a dull moment, huh? My favorite time of the weekend is sunday eves at 6pm (CST) when America's Funniest Videos is on, and Steve is attentive to a T. You can hear his guffaws and belly laughs from every room in the house. He loves a good prank too and I love his sense of humor.

Once again, you put into words what a lot of us will be thinking. You Rock Band Groupie!

Well, my man has a crush on a shorter blonder weather lady on another station, I was the one that always watched the one Julie was on! They must switch up the news people often, we saw another lady (co-anchor this time) doing the news in Miami when we were visiting that area! Steve noticed her and told me...too funny.
-
OMG, I wondered where Julie went. She has two kids now and we got to see her pregnancies progress here in Dallas and at the end of her 2nd pregnancy she was gone! Glad to know she's landed on her feet. this is one of the six degrees of separation things, huh!

Seriously, is that a boy child or girl child? Too funny!

You are doing terrific, has the weight loss been from the pre-op or something else? Good job!
-
LOL, I love Edward too. nice blog!

Even though all doctors subscribe to a different set of pre-op rules, i've noticed a WIDE variety of liquid diets on here. Mine will consist of the usual broths and also includes yogurt, applesauce, grits, popsicles, pudding and even mashed potatoes! No real mention of protein shakes, but I can add stuff to my milk intake to make it taste better, ie, Carnation instant breakfast mixes. The supposed goal of the pre-op is to shrink the liver, to make access to the stomach easier and less risky. Post op goals are to not irritate the new stomach and to promote healing. I think it sounds like you are doing fine if you are losing and by keeping things as liquid-like as possible, I'd say you are on the right track. Good Luck.

Hi Amy, Kathi here and I'll be banded on June 22. I can't wait. Did you have a fabulous weekend? My blog is on blogger, Don't Look Back, I'll try to give you the link.
Here you go: Don't Look Back
thanks for the comment, working from home this week and I have plenty of time to look around on the net. Have a good one.

Wow, can't stand any of them, I'd rather be June Bug! I'll go with the group though, but I won't like it...hehehee. kathi -
June 22nd here at Baylor in Grapevine. I'll be doing the liquids for 2 weeks and will actually be in Disneyland the week prior to my surgery! Willpower will get me through! I can't wait. Kathi

The nut was great. I do like her and got lots of good eating tips for my pre-op, oh yeah, 2 weeks baby! But there are a number of 'acceptable' things on there that I won't feel like i'm starving too much. yogurt, grits, mashed potatoes!!, jello, pudding, sf popsicles and lots of broth. Still trying to figure out how i'm going to smuggle some of that with me to disneyland! I have a friend or two in the area, i'm thinking a ride over to the grocery store will be in order for my foods.
June 2nd, huh, ouch...that is a long time to wait. i'm sure it will be here before we know it. next week?

Ok, too hilarious and that bird, where do you get these photos? Now, what does PB stand for, I've seen it and know it has to do with barfing, but just can't come up with it on my own! K

Hey BG, when do you get a fill? Hope you had a great weekend. Catch ya later, gator! K

Is anyone keeping their surgery a secret?
KayVee replied to Dreamjeans's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have long been a proponent of not telling. I've kept my circle of those in the know to a select few. No one at work except my boss will know and just a few family members. As I lose, I may change my mind, but for now I'm sharing with my LBT friends here and getting support from my surgeon and his staff and the support groups I attend. I did have some wonderful insight from a very good friend who has struggled with weight loss that I will share. The more people around you who do know, the more accountable you become! Oh yeah, the food police will be everywhere and I have to ask myself is that why I don't want them to know? I am not that much of a 'private' person and I don't particularly care what others think and I believe I'm pretty thick-skinned about comments. I do want the support of those around me and I am certain that they will be told sooner than later. I guess it will just have to be on my terms. Another comment that I've heard that I feel is really relevant is, You can't unring a bell, once you've told people the cat is out of the bag and won't be put back in! I'm getting banded on June 22 and can't wait! -
Good for you, thanks for the blog. Good luck and I'll be watching for more updates. Kay

The Skinny on My 1 Month Weigh-in
KayVee commented on ALuv82's blog entry in The Skinny: A Journey Through Lap-Band Surgery
I'm pre op (June 22) and I buckled down and quit my Diet Coke habit well over a month ago. It is hard, ice tea is my new diet coke. My nutritionist also turned me onto Lifewater (only 3 flavors of 0 calories) and Powerade Zero, mixed berry and grape so far. Still want the carbonation, but this variety has been helpful for me so far. Also, i've tried every flavor of mix-in from Walmart and I'm a peach ice tea LOVER. Crystal lite raspberry lemonade is wonderful too. Congrats, your progress is inspiring. Kathi -
Thanks for the note, by my count I don't have to start the pre-op til June 8 and I'm not about to begin a day early. I am trying to limit the snacking now and that is working out ok. My daughters (26 and 23) are driving back from Kansas now from visiting their dad. Had the whole lovely weekend to myself, the boyfriend and dogs! It was terrific. I see Ashley again on Thurs afternoon and we'll talk more specifically about the pre/post op diet, which does not differ much at all. I started a blog on blogger/gmail. it's called don't look back...well I am a child of the 70/80s and loved Boston! I'll send you an email later with the link. Enjoy Sam Moom, i'll bet it is CRAZY there today! later, kathi

Amy, you're a hoot and I love your blog. I"m going to get a gmail account so I can follow your antics and maybe start a few of my own. I grew up in Miami and love Pensacola too. I'm a Texan now and will stay that way for the time being. Hope you had a lovely weekend, I loved seeing your cruise dress! Fabulous. Kathi

Good luck. I'm going to be on a 2 week pre op diet soon, my tentative date is June 22. I'll actually be in Disneyland the entire week before surgery...what a bite@! But, something will always be coming up, so the time is now, I'm approved and I'm ready. Keep up posted and remember, when the hungries get really bad, take a nap! Can't eat while you're sleeping! Kay
