Getting banded in 7 days... And this particular concern has crossed my mind more than once.. lol... I totally hate it when I binge eat after im all stoned.& a bit tippsy.. lol. This doesn't happen all the time but there are those occasions were i am kinda out of control. . . I know I wont be able to do that after the band, but it still worries me a little.. Blaze... LOVED Your suggestion about the H2O, plus that helps with the cotton mouth. . . Praise to the Most I... Jade**:sifone:

Well it's 11:05 pm here and what a day!!:drool: But i did manage to stay on track:sneaky: I think the worst time of the day for me is late afternoon when im over being at school and needing a break. I had a smoothie for breakfast and some low fat cottage cheese Water through out the day and Soup for dinner. Yay! One day at a time. Ooh yeah something else happened to me today... Just before i left to go to school I was feeling stressed out like before a panic attack, I could tell i wasn't really breathing. i had the consciousness of it. So I acted and took many deep breaths just breathing deeply and letting go. Then left out the door feeling better. On the way to school I broke out into a hymn.. Sometimes my own voice surprises me. I just belt out words of love and gratitude in a sweet harmony. The song shows me how to live. It was pretty wild actually. Now that I'm thinking about it... Today is Imbolic. A pagan Holiday celebrating mid winter. The term imbolic translates to "in the belly" This is the time we manifest our intentions for the coming year. Holding the vision is important for these next few days. I know i must bring love and attention to this surgery before during and after.... In a pay it forward kinda way... I pray this is the right thing for me to do and that i have no regrets. Jade

Arakawana, Yes i believe so.. You can get it at the Vitamin Cottage or any natural food store. Sometimes you can find the single packets and try then out individually and see which one you really like.

Okay the count down begins. I saw a couple other gals on here that used this as a way to stay on tract during this process. Soooo.. Since yesterday was a disaster i am hoping this will help today be better.. Day 1. Breakfast Had a smoothie Lunch Green Chili Chicken soup Snacked on cashews Dinner- two sushi rolls. philly roll and shrimp roll with a little sake. :bored: Day 2. Breakfast - Drinking tea now, Spearmint then off to smoothie land.. I found a protein shake that is awesome... But im trying not to get burned out on it so im mixing in other flavors but the Spiriutine (sp) Double fudge chunk with skim milk, 1 tsp almond butter and frozen cherries.. yummy! Lunch- Soup Dinner Smoothie and jello.. Thats my plan anywayz.. Sure hope i stick to it but 4:00 - 6:00 always gets me. Today is a long one.. lots to do...

Wondering how the surgery went and how your feeling now. Hopefully back to normal.. Did you find your experience with Dr Smith and Staff pleasant? Sure hope so... My surgery is in 11 days!!! OMG... but....I feel terrible that i cheated on my first day of the pre op diet...
Please let me know how your doing.. All the Best

Regret Telling Friends ...
Jadeite replied to KimDB's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Look, Everybody has got an opinion... We all see things through our own filters, and project our beliefs onto others. With that said... I too was very nervous to tell my friends, as each one of them has a strong level of "consciousness" and are for the most part natural/organic/spiritual people. The reaction after I mentioned it was mostly positive some mixed.. But they all listen to my reasoning and rational. Some said i wasn't big enough to have this operation and I should focus and do it on my own. After much consideration I decided to go for it.. You know what they all eventually said to me that they supported my decision because they wanted for me to be my happiest. Knowing that this procedure is only a tool and a way to serve as an inner guide. Working out and monitoring food choices and a peaceful mindset make you truly the sucsess and not the just the band The big thing about this decision is making your boundaries clear for yourself first, then others.. ie your friends.. Pick and choose how much of there support is healthy for you... ie. yoga/walks/gym.. and when to simply disengage them by not participating in their drama. Gosh I'm ranting.. but just want you to know i understand the frustration. Not everyone needs to know.. pick the people who's grounded opinions you really care about.. I hope some of this helped..

Lauryn,
Hey there, sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. Just wanted to tell you that I'm surprised at your description of your doctor and surgery procedures. I totally want to support you in making a great decision. From what I can gather from my experience and others that I've read on this site, # 1 most important thing is to feel comfortable with the Doctor and Staff. # 2 Do your research find out what is normal from others who have had this operation. ie. specific guidelines pre and post surgery.. #3 Remember this guy is going into your gut. AND your paying him to do it..
How does the staff treat you? Have any of them had the operation?
Btw Great Job on taking initiative and Good Luck

Hey there Lauryn,
Im Jade and we are being Banded on the same day! Feb 12 at 7:00 am for me..yikes! Living in Colorado now but I'm a southern gal by trade. My grandparents live in TN and i just had a chance to visit them over the holidays. it was so nice...
My parents live N of Atl. Newayz.. Are you doing any preop diet before the surgery? I have to do 2 weeks of liquid diet (protien shakes and soft no sugar, low fat foods like jello and cottage cheese.) Yum. Feel free to keep in touch if you like.
Take Care and Good luck with everything,
Jade*

Anyone else being Banded on February 9th?
Jadeite replied to That's How I Roll's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Getting banded on the 12th!!! yay!! I hear you all on the smoking... I quit a couple years ago and the weight is the last major hurdle to overcome.. Pre-op diet is definetly a bummer but worth it. This decision has been hard to make, but i am so glad I am doing this now :eek::wink: -
Beth,
Haven't heard from you in awhile. Hope you are doing well!! One week before the pre-op diet. How are you doing on yours?? Have you had your surgery yet? Getting Excited So glad we have the same Doctor. Do you live near the surgery center or far away? Maybe we could get together or something while im out thata way?? who knows...
Take care

Hey Kate,
Sounds like your doing great!!! I am getting more excited about the upcoming surgery. I am starting my preop diet soon in one week!!!.. lovely. But im ready for it, just wish i wasn't in school right now so i could just focus on this part of my life.. ahh but such is life i guess, still keepin on..
Keep in touch with me throughout everything, can't wait to see your progress photos

Kate,
Right on!! So glad you are doing so well and no gas pain... whoohoo:) Right now I'm living in SW Colorado and the nearest place to get the surgery is Abq, NM with Dr. Smith. but for 5,000$$ less i can fly down to his surgery center in DFW texas and have it done there.. Since I am self pay, Texas it is. They even throw in two nights at a hotel less than a mile away.. (f.y.i I lived in Hawaii 07-09..)...The plan is to fly in do my appointments on thursday and then surgery on friday, stay the next day Sat. Then fly home Sunday. I hope i will be in good shape to fly and drive by then..?? The good news is, my mother is going to fly in as well for some support and some good tlc:) Love my mom:)
Just curious, are you noticing any difference with the band, as far a weight loss pre or post, and how is the liquid/ mushies phase??
Still wishing you all the best,
Jade**
