Okay, this is how pathetic I am. After all this talk about meat, I was making steak and fixins for my kiddos and warming up my egg drop soup. I pick up some meat/fat drippings, sucked the flavor out and spit it in the sink! I will now do the walk of shame.........................

Mvpo, Enjoy that pork chop and salad! If you feel deprived, just think of those of us who have been on liquids for 3 or 4 weeks. We'd WRESTLE you for that piece of meat if we could get it past our band w/out excrutiating pain. lol. Enjoy while you can, and it will help ease you into your new lifestyle. I will assure you that once the band is in place that it is easier to resist. My little helper - "Buddy Band". lol.

Wow! What a list. Thanks for doing that. Actually, I was May 1st bright and early, but what's a day? I'm just glad it's DONE! You'll be up before you know it!

Hi Deb, I lost 10 pounds prebanding and I don't really know how many since. My scale isn't accurate, so I'm waiting until my postop visit w/ the Dr. I know the scale is moving downward, though. I will be glad when the swelling is down. Don't be nervous. After the first week you'll be so glad you did it. You'll have a new tool to help you control what has been controlling you! Good luck! We can do this!

Hey TIDGE, You'll turn the corner soon and feel better. I was banded on the 1st and after a few days I started feeling glum also. I am on the upswing now. Hang in there. Relief comes in a day or two!!!!!

Hi meedym We do have about the same stats. I'm a little over 5'5. I've always said 5'6'', but recently found out otherwise. lol. Reality hurts. I'm one week post band. I lost about 10 pounds on the preop diet and am still going downward! I don't feel quite ready to exercise, but I'm looking forward to it. I also run my own business. This weight has been the one obstacle in my life that I can't seem to overcome. There's no stopping me now! Watch out world!

Thanks for posting the list! Now I can keep it straight who to pray for this week! Tomorrow will mark one week for me as well. I'm getting better and stronger each day. I still need to take in more calories and protein, but I'm working at it! Go May Bandsters!

Just about 3 minutes in warm water.

I have to take a capsule medication everyday. The last couple of days I've poured it into a tablespoon of applesauce. Today I got brave. I soaked it in warm water for a few minutes to start to disolve the gel casing, and then I downed it with trepidatation.......................It went down w/ no problems!:clap2: Just thought I'd let you know my experience unless anyone else has to take medication. Good luck Bandsters!

Yep, I used an old fashion ice cube tray, but I do have the forms. You could probably get them at the dollar store. I know tupperware makes them. We'll see how they do!
