I am so excited about my banding!!!! I just had to say that. I try not to think about it to much. Can anyone think of something that they could not do by themselves right after the surgery?? When could you pick up lets say a 10 pound poodle?? Rene' PS Also how do you get the ticker to show up???? <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wVsWHHb/"> <img border="0" src="<A href="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wVsWHHb/weight.png"></a">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wVsWHHb/weight.png"></a>

I do know that I am a emotional eater. I am now trying to find other things to do besides eating it I am bored. That seems to be the worst time for me. If I am upset I cannot eat. I got some hand games and word find books. If I can keep my hands busy it seems to help alot. Rene' 5'4' 225 current 235 highest 24 days until banding!!!!:clap2:

I know that I will be turning to this list often over the next few weeks. I will start on the 2nd my no fat diet and then Protein shakes, soft and liquid foods on the 12th for my sx on the 19th. That is the part that will be hard for me but knowing that I might see some pre sx weight loss makes it easier. everyone keep up the good work!!! Rene'

It has taken my parents a while to come around. My friends and even some of my good clients have been very supportive. I am in West Monroe Louisiana and will have my band on the 19th of Jan 2007!!!!!!!!! Dr. Wade Barker is doing the band. Rene'

I have my Jan date for the 19th!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited !!!!!!!:clap2: I have been thinking about how I will have to change my eating habits after. I am off Diet Coke for 2 months now and bread for 3 weeks. I am having trouble giving up popcorn. My dogs just love it and it is a nightly treat for us. Also I found out that the fills cost $200 each time. Is that normal?? Can they do less fills with more cc's?? Rene'

Hi there to all. I am new to the group. I have my lap band set for Jan 19, 2007!!!!!! I can't wait. That is my slow month and I am self employed. I am a pet groomer. I have planned to be off for 10 days. I hope that will be enough time. I am going to Dallas to have it done at the Preston Cardiolgy and Wellness center. I have to pay cash for mine and it is to be 11,000.00. I know that Dr Maese is one of the doctors but I do not know the name of the surgeron yet. I am enjoying reading the post here and am learning LOTS!!!!!!! Rene' 5'4", 225 lbs

Hi there to all. This forum has been a godsend.:bolt: I have learned so much that I did not know about. It has made me want the sx sooner. Due to work I cannot have it until Jan. I was wondering about right after the sx can you have the noodles in chicken noodle Soup?? What about grits or oatmeal during the mushies stage?? What about tuna and chicken salad that has been blended in a food processer?? I have been looking at stuff to see what I am going to eat for protien and it is harder than I thought. The thought of losing my hair :paranoid is the only scary part of this whole process. Rene'

I have not had my sx yet that will be on Jan 19th 2007 :clap2: . I am so worried about losing my hair. Does EVERYONE lose it?? If I take in the 65grams of protien will I be safe?? Of anything about me my hair is the only thing I like, so I would hate to part with it:think . Rene' Band wannabee
