Cold cold go away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mymy posted a blog entry in On my journey to success!!!!!!
My Dr. gave what is called the pack treatment for five days of antibiotics. I am really hoping this will knock this cold out. I am too excited to sit in the house so I went out got all that I need for my date hoping that my being prepared will some how assure my surgery date. I was really worried about my being able to find a source of protien that I like I really am not a shake person and 60 to 80 grams of protien are alot I went into GNC and i found a product called Pro Slam 45 yes it is good 45 grams of protien and only 3.1 ounces I cant believe how lucky I was I got the last box. I thought I would spend alot more time and money trying to find protien I could tolorate. Well I am going to continue to medicate rest and pray because I want so bad to make my date Jan.28, -

Hello i hope you do get that fill remember that fill is too remind you what not to eat and how to eat. My understanding is that you wont throw uo or have pb if you follow the rules. The gym must be on your to do list no matter what. i know i sound as if i have have it packed down and i am not even banded yet but i am serious i am going to use this tool for all its worth. i hope you make that time for yourself and go to the gym even if its you just getting use to the atmosiphere make that a priorty no matter how tired you are. Stay focus even when you feel less restricted know your restrictions and try your hardest. I READ A SAYING NOTHING TASTE AS GOOD AS BEING THIN AND HEALTHY .You can do it heck you have done the hard part already. good luck

mymy commented on mymy's blog entry in On my journey to success!!!!!!
Hello, well i had my pre op appt. yesterday and I am sooo happy I am ready to go. No doubt here. I asked all my questions and my Dr. is pretty cool (not to mention FINE ) he answered every question in detail. I feel so comfortable. I am still worried that something will go wrong not so much during surgery but I am worried I wont get banded thats my biggest fear. I read a blog. and she woke up and her 1st question was did I get my band I feel her, best believe that will be my first question as well. My sinus are bothering me and I just cant let that be an issue I have to get that together I cant get a sinus cold, infection now I want to get this over with. I am ready. I dont have to go on that liquid diet b 4 surgery but I do have to take a serious laxitive the day b4:crying:. I will keep my food intake lite though. -

jircads, congrats.I hope all goes well please k i t . Here are my questions I hope they help.
What is the difference between the 3 ports the low profile, the rapid port and the regluar used port? What band do you use? I read that the band called realize band comes with a smaller port. Is 1 band / port more effective then another? I want the low profile. I heard it wasnt as big (not so easily seen or felt). I also heard that there is a 4th port the flip flop that has had alot of complaints. Where will the port be positioned? Do you use stapples, glue or stitches? How often do I get a fill if I feel as if I need a fill before my appt. will that be a problem? What causes a band to erod? What if any signs that your band has eroded? same question regarding a band that has slipped. If I have any concerns/questions after surgery can I call my Dr.? i dont want to talk to 5 different people I rather deal with my Dr.
Thats about ot if i come uo with more b4 I c my Dr. I ll let u no. Michelle

:thumbup::thumbup:I am 8 days away from my band and I cant think of anything else. Weather its good thoughts or my just worrying. I am so greatful for this site. I feel as if i know so much more now and I am so much more prepared. I have a whole list of questions for my Dr. and tommorrow is my pre op oppt. When i first dealt with my Dr. he asked if i had any questions and i said NO i just didnt know what questions to ask. I just hope I can come back to work soon I plan to just take under a week off the only problem is i live an hour away and i hear so many people say they are so tired by the end of the day and i just dread the thought of my being tired and fighting traffic but if that is my biggest issue then i guess i will be lucky. i just cant wait untill i am the one loving my band hell i love it already.:tt1:
