Hello everyone, I am to be banded on Wednesday Dec 13th by Dr. Cobourne in Mississauga. Hope everyone is doing well.:clap2: I put on the intro thread that I was planning to go to Cancun January 12th for a week and my mom thinks I'm nuts. I think I'll be okay because we've been there before and know the food is good and since I will be on the soft portion of the diet, I think I should be okay.:help: Let me know what you think, Deb

:omg: EWWWWWWW! I think I'll just stick with the ground beef! Deb

Thanks Yoda and may the force be with us both!:clap2: I should be able to swim in a pool within a month shouldn't I. I don't think I will try the ocean though. Don't worry, no one but my self and hubby see the great mountainous abdomen! (hehehe) Deb psss... I can't wait (sorry) for either my band 2 1/2 days or Mexico - just one month!!!!!!!

Awhile?????? Hey at least I'm a virgin of something (Ha, ha, ha)LOL:heh: Remember, I'm not being banded until Wednesday so don't scare me folks!!!! As long as the long slime isn't while I'm in Mexico. What stage does it happen in? Deb :phanvan

Good to know, I was expecting it to come from the other end. Guess I just need to reverse my thinking. What used to come out gross now comes up gross!!!!!LOL:p Deb

Slime thing??????:faint: Thanks irish for your support and welcome. Deb

I heard that couch is getting rather "dirty" due to the lies being told on Oprah's couch. i.e. Jennifer Aniston. But, I'm sure that is not the couch you were talking about Mookie1 (love your picture by the way). Deb

Yes, to my recollection Pina Coladas are smooth and mushie! I am deliberately going back to the Blue Bay Getaway in Cancun, I was there last January. I know the quality of food was excellent and I should be able to get something mushie at each meal. I figure eggs in the am, cottage cheese or some fruit squished for lunch with salad and then hamburger or some other Protein chewed well or mooshed.:hungry: I got it all figured (I hope):rolleyes . Thanks for the reassurance though. Deb

Hello all, This is my first time here after being referred by a fellow patient at my clinic. I am getting my lapband on Wednesday December 13th and am half excited and half nervous.:omg: My doctor is Dr. Cobourne at the THE SURGICAL WEIGHT LOSS CENTRE in Toronto, Ontario. I have been on Optifast for almost 3 weeks and have had a few slips due to my hamburger addiction.:think I have just booked a trip to Mexico for our winter vacation on January 12 - 18th. I know this is quite soon after my surgery but we are going to a place we've been before and I know the food is great and being that I should be on soft food by then, I should be okay. My mom thinks I'm nuts though.:nervous Let's all take a vote - am I a crazy canuck or not. Let me know.:clap2:

Thanks for the help, I should look for a Mexican doctor in Cancun. Maybe my doctor would know. Deb:faint: (what I hope not to do!)

Good luck Kathy. Are you being banded in Toronto by Dr. Cobourne? Deb

Have you tried adding any fibre. Benefibre is allowed I think and it may help!? Deb

Congratulations on your decisions. I am going to be banded by Dr. Cobourne on Wednesday. It will come sooo soon! Good luck and keep us posted. Deb
