Hi - I start tomorrow and do it for 2 weeks - same thing - drinks and broth only...don't know how I will do it but i will and so can you - just hang in there - they all say that after about day 3 - it gets better!!!!

Oh - forgot one! Shave legs in the shower without almost falling over!!!

My dr said same thing - can't do together and if in no pain then wait til after getting the band! good luck

I have to be honset - i was worried about this and so I sent him an e-mail with a link that explained it and I said - this is something I want/need to do - I am not happy with me and how I look and I know deep down you aren't with me either ( never said it but I can tell) then I said read this and we will talk about it - and I signed it please don't fight me on this!!! We talked about it and he is now so supportive. I have sugrey on 5/19 - he is even going to do the 2 week pre op liquid diet with me! He is very excited for me and can't wait to show me off!!! Hang in there it will all work out!

:thumbup::sad::lol::lol:

Thanks I am looking it up now! They have the 100, 200 and the 300 - which do you have? Do you use it for anything other then the drinks, if not I may just need the 100. thanks

Hi - I was wondering if anyone uses something to chop up ice at work to make a smoothie out of a slim fast? I thought about bringing the blender that chops ice - but it is kind of heavy to keep bringing it back and forth from home and work. Does anyone know if there is something small to crush up ice and slim fast for on the go or to keep at work? Thanks

Do you know - are we allowed sugar free pudding or is it just jello?

Hi - what are slider foods I keep hearing about and they are bad for us, is that right? whatever they are!

Oh, I see - all the stuff I like!! Ha ha - got it! thanks

May 19th also - in Phila!!!! And YES - I have the same pattern and so I told my husband - everyday after work starting May 5th - I will clean every closet, every drawer we have in the house - this will keep me busy so I don't eat food! I do it when I am bored...so hubby is happy about the clean closets and such.....so when it come time to watch TV, I will have big bottle of Crystel Light.......Good Luck - May 19th will be here before we know it! :redface:

Hi - what do you all mean when you say "restrictions" and "Sweet Spot"????:thumbup: thanks

Got it - thanks!!! Have you lost all your weight in 3 months! Your lose is amazing!!!! Congrats!

That is AWESOME:thumbup: What an insperation for us all:w00t: Thanks for sharing:thumbup:

I love the honesty on here! Ha ha - keep it coming!

Hi - I am getting banded on May 19th! I was told I would be staying over for 1 night! I also heard people were walking outside and stuff on day 3! That is nice of your hubby - but from what I have seen on here so far - you should be ok by day 2 or 3! Good Luck!

ha ha ha - NOT mean - just honest - and we have all been there with someone - so I think you are intitled to say whatever you want!!! Does she know you are getting the surgery???? Never been much in to Chico's either!

Amy - they are great! Love the Mother in law one!!!!

I was hoping more people would answer - this really motivated me when I saw it. Anyone else want to share what they can't wait to do when they lose some of the weight??

Hi - I have my pre op and mental Dr and anesthesiology appt all on May 12th - can someone tell me about the anesthesiology appt? They told me that will take about 2 hours? Does anyone know why so long? thanks

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield in PA - and they do not require it! I have read a lot on here and seems they are all different! You should call and see what is needed - that is the best way ! Good Luck

I called my Surgeons office to ask if my blood results came in and asked if they submitted everything to my ins and she said - we did that yesterday and you were approved and I was like - they approved me already and she said Yup - BCBS is very easy to deal with! I was very excited and I also didn't belive her (sounded to good to be true) so I called my ins company anyway and they confirmed it for me - I was good to go!!!! 3 weeks to go and I start my new life! Good Luck!

You were saying you have your Husband's insurance! Does your place of employment offer insurance? If so check them out and maybe they offer what you need and then when it is your annual enrollment - change to yours and you could have the surgery in Jan when the new policy starts!!! Just a thought!!! And FYI - we are all in the same boat of being overweight - we are not here to judge people - we know what that is like - so we would never think you are just sitting around eatting Bon- Bons......Good Luck :thumbup:)

Hi all - after surgery - when you can start driving the car? i have to figure out if I need to have someone pick up my daughter after school. Thanks
