Thanks Audree!! I'm ready!!

Hi Teresita!!! I just didn't have time to eat, seems like the same for today.

Congrats!!!

My three would be: 1) Please don't laugh you guys...the KING OF POP Michael Jackson (that's what the MJ in my screen name means) I LOVE him! Meet him & Janet once on 10/8/1994 wasn't able to take a picture w/ him, but I got one of him. 2)Matthew McConaughey-hey-hey! 3)I can not think of anyone else! Oh yeah Coby Bell too cute! Teresita I have met alot of celebs and professional athletes. One of them is on your list of "what if". Here are a few: 1) Me and Jermaine O'neal (Pacers), 2) Me and Tyson Beckford (woohooo! SUPER NICE) and last but not least the legendary Reggie Miller (the pic wouldn't minimize). I don't have any pics w/ pro football atheletes, but I have a pic of me hanging out at K. Thomas(Jacksonville Jaguars)house in Jacksoville. I will take these pics off, since it didn't mention pics.

Welcome BananaMoon!!!

You go girl...keep it going!!! Be BLESSED!

Breakfast: Nothing Lunch: Nothing Dinner: 2 cans of chicken broth w/ Better Than Bouillon.

It is good!!! Really? I haven't been to Sonora. I've finished all my caldo since I can only have Clear liquids from now until two weeks after surgery. I will make more caldo w/o the chile guajillo. I'm going to get banded on Thursday!! Thanks Audree!:welldone:

When you say that your fears aren't of the surgery it's self, but of the "great unknowns" that is EXACTLY how I feel! It's nerve racking! Sheila

Today has been a great day, thank you LORD! Here's my daily pre-opt menu. Breakfast/Lunch (after 2pm) New Whey 42 gram grape (yum) protein shot w/ 1 cup of skim milk blended w/ ice. Caldo de pollo con limon (chicken broth, Better Than Bouillon, red chili peppers, chile Guajillo), and another cup of skim milk w/ two sugar free low carb fudge popsicles (pretty good). Dinner: Carbon Copy of above. I have to say one thing above Better Than Bouillon. GREAT! Be BLESSED

lol...it's a city in Mexico. I've never heard of Hidalgo jewelry. I'm gonna look it up.

I believe it's about 2 1/2 hours from Mexico City. He grew up in Senora, MX. I bet the chicken broth was good...I made caldo de pollo last night and it's really good. I made it extra spicy w/ chile guajillo, but I made some without chile guajillo and put it in the freezer for next week. Oh I used Better Than Bouillon and chicken broth and it taste like I cooked chicken in it. Be BLESSED!

Hi Bexleygal!!!! Good to hear from you!!

Oh okay!! Obviously it makes a difference when nerves don't get in the way. I'm feeling good about the surgery, I'm a little concerned with the long term effects of the band. How was Mexico? My husband is from Hidalgo. Be BLESSED!

Thanks Angyl2314, That is GREAT! I am planning on not taking the meds if at all possible. I told my mom today that I am going to walk as soon I get the ok in the hospital. She was like huh? I was like yes, that way the gas won't get trapped. I'll be there two days, so by the time I come home I want to be able relax without the pain.

My 18 year old self would say, you said you was gonna buy your first house before you turned 27 and that you would not only remember the poem by Langston Huges (I'm Determined To Be Somebody Someday), but you would live it. Oh yea and marry your first boyfriend (Mi Amor).

Wow! Thanks for that advice, I never looked at it that way. I know for some days now and today as a matter of fact I was speaking positively about my recovery. I'm looking forward to a great recovery, I can tolerate pain fairly well. So, I know I will be okay...now if I need the pain meds I won't hesitate to take them. Good post BabyGotBack! Be BLESSED!

SuperDaddy! Your children are beautiful!

Welcome back BabyGotBack!! I am glad everything went well.

I bought the chicken yesterday and it is REALLY GOOD!! I found it at Wal-Mart.

Today has been a great day, thank you LORD! Here's my daily pre-opt menu. Breakfast/Lunch (after 2pm) New Whey 42 gram grape (yum) protein shot w/ 1 cup of skim milk blended w/ ice.

Nice journal entry, I needed to read a positive entry. I'm ready to be banded, but a little nervous. Sheila
