OMG!! I thought I was becoming deficient in something. I've been cold EVERYDAY at work. I keep my heater on at home now, and I'm constantly in a sweater. I usually would parade around in a tshirt during the winter, but now....I have on a sweater and the biggest coat I can find. My supervisor noticed my struggling to warm up and informed me that when he was losing weight (not by surgery, but just by running and exercising) he was freezing during his 20 pound loss. So it's not related to the surgery itself. But the excess weight coming off has a lot to do with it. So I have to look at it this way, me being cold is a sign that I haven't gained any insulation to warm me up.

Aww, don't cry. Be glad that it was found now and not figured out after it was too late. It's just an obstacle you have to go through. I've figured out that nothing in life is easy. Keep me updated. I'll be waiting to hear from you after the 16th. I'll keep you in my prayers.:tt1:

I'm doing great!! Sorry, I've been busy at work and haven't been online much. I've been exercising (walking and yes running a little on the treadmill, some eliptical, pushups, crunches, toning) and no problem. I'm down a total of 28 pounds. I've been here for the last week and a half, but since I know I'm not eating a lot of "healthy" food, just very little of the normal food, I'm okay with the results so far. I'm getting back to my veggies and few carbs again soon. I had a fill the thursday before thanksgiving, and my next one will be January 15th. I received 4cc on my first fill. I can tell the difference, but I don't think the restriction is as "tight" as it should be. I think he is gradually getting me to that right fit. But once again, I am doing GREAT!! What is your status?!

Actually, my stomach has been growling alot, but I haven't neccessarily been hungry. I don't know if it is mental or not, but I have been eating almost normal. But so far, so good. I only have some pain where my largest incision (possibly the port) is located, but it doesn't last long. I'm just ready for next week when I can start adding more soft foods to my diet. :biggrin:

Hello, all. My phone's internet wasn't cooperating with the website, but I just wanted to stop by and let everyone know I'm doing fine. I wake up each day feeling better. Just a few mild discomforts, but I don't have any real pain. It hasn't dawned on me yet that the band is actually inside of me. Hard to explain. Talk to u soon.

WOW THAT WAS FAST!!!! I was called today and told that my new surgery date will be Monday, October 27th at 9:30AM. WHEW!! I'm feeling better again. :sad_smile: I won't get too excited until I wake up from surgery though.

:biggrin: I left this one out of the last post. Should have been the main icon!!

:biggrin: Carraway Hospital closed one day before my surgery. :eek: I have to wait for scheduling times at Princeton Baptist Hospital now. So I'm once again, waiting for a date.:smile:

Besides the supervised diet, I also had an EKG and a psych evaluation. The psychological evaluation was scheduled by Lori for me after I went to my consultation. I felt cheated...lol....I was expecting the chaise lounge and the "tell me what's on your mind" talk. LOL. But it was a series of tests, redundant questions and a few other little things. I talked to the doctor for a few minutes, and that was that. Nothing serious. The EKG was scheduled the same day as the Nutritional and Physical Therapy Assessment. EKG lasted abouit 30 seconds (I was shocked), Nutritionist went throught the pre-op and post-op diets, and the physical therapist just wanted to see what physical health you were in now, to track your progress later (ie walking and climbing stairs, touching toes, bending, reaching, turning). I found out I have another class to attend the wednesday before my surgery. I have no idea what it is about though. I think it is my pre-op appt, but I thought it was just an appointment, not neccessarily a class. I'll keep you posted. GODSHELP can you give us some input about the class that was a week before the surgery?
