I'm drinking Atkins Milk Chocolate Delight - It's premixed and isn't that bad - I just chug it. LOL I got it at walmart in the pharmacy area

Congrats - hope you rest well tonight and have a safe trip home. Best wishes with your band. I can't wait to join the banded group

hey December bandsters we are half way through the month. Congrats to all who have been banded or are being banded today. The rest of us can't wait to join you. I'm officially underway on the liquid diet - I downed my first Protein shake this morning. it's going to be a long journey but getting there will be worth the ride. Wishing all great results.

I think 33 is a great age to get banded :thumbup:

LOL my liquid diet starts tomorrow - I'm drinking Mt. Dew all day until bed time. lol oh Mt. Dew my sweet nectar how I'm going to miss you.

liquid diet starts tomorrow - getting nervous about nothing but liquids for the rest of the year. lol

seems fishy send me the check and I'll take care of it for you. LOL actually it happens - I've got money back before - never that much though - nice check to get this time of year

I for one am offended by this post. :scared2::thumbup:

I go for all those tests this friday and my surgery is on the 22nd. I did the psych eval early on - it was such a joke - just a insurance hoop to jump and make me spend out of my pocket first. (my insurance sucks fyi) I pay everything up to $2000. out of my pocket then they kick in and pay only $5000 towards my band - then i pay the rest ugh

ahahahaha I'm cracking up over that. Too funny

watch your sodium intake also - too much will cause you to retain Water. And Larry congrats on the band 2 days ago. ps. You can do it.

gotta be the sodium - look for low sodium broth - the weight will drop then.

you can can do it. Beacause I'm going to need your support starting my liquids next tuesday. This has got to be extra tough for us steak eating red meating loving men. Glad I have other men on here for support also.

Ii might have to try that with strawberries.

I'm giving up Mt. Dew and with getting the band. I'm switching to coffee and just got a kuerig - it rocks. Ihave to have my caffeine in the morning to make it through a day at work. lol

I'm having my band done on Dec. 22nd by Dr. Schuster. I can't wait.

I'm getting excited. My pre-op is this Friday the 11th. How many days out did you all have to start your liquid diets?

OMG like fat people haven't had it hard enough. This ticks me off College's too-fat-to-graduate rule under fire - CNN.com How about a class for skinny people to put on weight or smokers to quit or alcoholics to stop drinking. Fat is the just the next target to pick on - they don't realize that we've been picked on and we have rage built up to fight back. Being overweight is one's on struggle - a college degree shouldn't be based on looks.

Good luck to all today. I'm so excited my preop appointment is next friday I'm getting close. woohoo.

congrats to the all the post-ops. I wish you much success. You guys make me wish my surgery was sooner than Dec. 22. I'm so excited. I'm going to kick this weight for good.

Hi Hoosiers, i'm from Kentucky but I look out at your State all day while I'm at work. lol

good luck to you all on your surgeries today. hope all is well and the weight comes flying off. I'm Scheduled for Dec. 22. So I'll be not to far behind.
