Why Don't We Give A Little Update Where We're At
speck replied to speck's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
:party: I completely agree. I think this is preparing me for the future of a new way of life with food. Also, I have 6 more days until surgery. Starting today I am going to chew chew chew my food to prepare myself for that as well. I think this might just be the key that I need. Sandra -
Surgery Tomorrow and Really Nervous! Have your pre-surgery wishes been granted?
speck replied to TrishaLight's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Why not think of every reason this is going to be so positive for you. When I focus on fears it doesn't help me at all. I mean honestly how are we going to feel better? What purpose is it serving? Think everything positive. Just start thinking about that and your fears won't be able to take over. Sandra Let us know how great you are doing afterwards. -
in order for me to get it down. I remember reading a post that said the meats need to be wet. I don't think I can handle that if that's the case. I have to have my food well done. Share? Sandra

This is absolutely where I want to be. Thanks- I hope I can do the same thing. :tt2:

speck replied to speck's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
No, just for breakfast. I'm here to tell you- the after taste-- gawd! Congrats to the posters who have already lost weight prior to surgery. That is awesome. See we can do it. I'm on day 5 pre-op. It's going pretty well. Kinda tired of the same ole veggies though. Sandra -
Does anyone get a headache after drinking protein shakes
speck posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Everytime I drink a powdered shake I get a headache. I've tried GNC and another one that I can't think of the name right now. (my doctor recommended it and you buy it at Walmart) -
So Is The Chicken, Fish, etc. Going To B Wet
speck replied to speck's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yeh, that's what I meant. Do you have to mix it with broth, salsa, low fat gravy, etc.? Wet- meaning in those things- not raw. lol sorry. -
It might have been a good idea for me to have stated by eating anything I meant anything healthy. (fruits, nuts, etc.) It really didn't cross my mind that junk would be included. Those days are behind me. I got fat by eating junk.

Anyone W/Diabetes/Low Sugar Problems Post-Op
speck replied to speck's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
You get a little nervous when they tell you to stick with the handout which basically is nothing. lol I have been afraid to have a little juice if it doesn't say juice, you know what I mean? :tt2: Afraid you might do the wrong thing. Thanks -
Anyone W/Diabetes/Low Sugar Problems Post-Op
speck replied to speck's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I should add that I do not take medication for my diabetes. However, I do get high readings at times(160ish-170ish) and can get low(70ish) if I don't eat enough carbs or wait to long to eat. -
I found out yesterday that I will be going home the same day as surgery. I was really taken back by this. My insurance coverage will pay for me to stay the night but the doctor's office said it wasn't necessary. I'm just surprised. Sandra
