Thanks for the post. You are such a sweety. But guess what? I came down with a yucky sinus infection over the passed weekend. Got into my PCP on Monday and started an antibiotic per my surgeon's nurse, but I am still sick as of this morning. I had to reschedule my date. Stupid F'N sinuses! So my new date is 10/28. Thanks so much though for keeping me positive. I know I am so ready to do this. Now I have to do the 2 week liquid all over again. I have been a really bad girl today with what I have ate too. Guilt really isn't getting me too much, cuz I know on 10/14 its back to hard core liquids again. So keep me posted as I will you. Hugs- : ( Starla

Thank you for the positivity! And the humor! I need it! I am getting super nervous. Hope i can be at 224 at surgery time : ) then I will be under 200 in no time : ) I can't tell you how happy that would make me : ) I am ready, did my bloodwork yesterday. Congrats on having to buy new undies : ) : ) : )

Hey! Where are you? I can't' see you...

; )

Oh yeah. 8 lbs down! Now at 230, hope i can lose more in 6 days

: )

That sounds so exciting! Wow. I cry now when I think of my boy, Josiah (18months) being that age, lol. I know i am pathetic. That is great though! I dream of a size 18 at this point!!!! And congratulations on your new phase of mushies! that is awesome. So glad you are doing well! I just did blood work this morning. So, hopefully everything is cool and band-day is this THursday! I am so ready! I am hanging in there on my diet, when i feel week and hungry I just get on here and look at before and after photos. And honestly, if my period would just end I would feel better too, lol. Sorry for too much info, lmao. Take care! TTYS

You are right : ) I did call my nurse just to touch base with her on it. Basically the same thing you just said, if it hurts don't do it. But she told me to remember to use good body mechanics while picking him up, and the first few days of not doing it would be good. How old are yours? How many do you have? : ) just curious : ) I am so excited though!!!! And so ready to get started!!! With the band I mean : ) Take care sweety!

Sorry for my freak out, lol. Thank you for your positive words! Its true! I think that you and 2flyguys, and I am sure many others are very motivational! I want so badly to grab this opportunity by the horns and full speed ahead! And I am very fearful for the loose skin thing as well. So I want to do as much walking and lifting as possible to minimize the result at goal. And yes my favorite shake is so yummy! The snacks make it so much easier to stick to it too. Let me know what else to expect for recovery. I guess I will need family and friends around a lot more than I thought.

HUGS,

Starla

My goodness! You really think a month before I can pick him up? That is crazy! Hell I was mowing the yard 3 weeks after my c-section, lol. I hope what you say isn't true for me : ( I was hoping for only 1-2 weeks of being out of commission. I guess I will have to see how it goes. I mean I am not that stubborn that I can feel that I am hurting myself and keep doing it. I just planned for a much more speedy recovery.

Well thanks for the add! Great job on your weight loss! I'd say 30lbs in a month is something to be proud of! Mine is really not as bad as others I have spoken with. 2 meals are protein shakes which I adore! My fave is one I invented chocolate-cherry-banana YUM! The 3rd meal is soup, snacks I can have sf/ff yogurt, pudding, or jello. And the fact that I dropped 8 in 6 days, shoot I must be doing something right : )

I took my son for a walk before we ran errands earlier. It was only about 20 min. but hey i was walking as fast as my fat butt would let me and pushing his 26 lbs in his car, lol. Well I have already had a c-section so I don't figure this pain to be near that. My goal is 145 or a little lower and I am only almost 5'3". So I am really going to try to push being stricter on this last week. I go get bloodwork done on friday. How long would you say I would have to go without picking up my 18 month old?

HUGS, Starla

nevermind, just read u r from NY, cool, we r both full time moms' : )

sorry for my misspellings, i think i was interrupted 5 times during this message, lmao

hey sandy- thanks so much for you compliment you will be a knockout yourself : ) we'll have to go shopping together, lol. where state r u in?

thanks for your post. i have a little boy, lol, so my walking consists of pulling a wagon or pushing his car, but hey its walking. i think once i take off a few more lbs i will have more energy and i can start getting up before my husband leaves for work, and go for a nice power walk by myself. how are you doing? how much do you have to lose to hit your goal? how much did you lose in pre-op diet? how much since 9/22? are you in pain? are you hungry? do you regret? sorry i have so many questions. you know how many things are running through my head, lol, when surgery is literally, 8 days away....well i am nervous, scared, excited, happy all at once. but, i know this is the right thing for me to do, i need help, and i am not ashamed to admit it anymore. take care sandy. we'll have to keep in touch : )

-sincerely,

starla
