Spring into March 2010 Bandsters

[finding me 1]

Hi out there. I am scheduled for March 2 and hope I don't chicken out like I did last year. I had a Jan '09 date but stopped during the clearance phase. But I have to do this. It is hard wrapping my head around the pre-op diet that I have to start in the next day or so. I have my pre-op testing tomorrow morning and then go shopping for Protein Shakes. blech. :thumbdown:

Welcome!!! I am so jealous over your March 2 date. I feel like my date of March 25 is so far away. I understand the thoughts of backing out. I have been over thinking everything the last few days but still keep coming back to the fact that I have to do this. I need to be healthy and want to see my kids grow up. Plus they deserve a mommy that can run around and play with them instead of lying around all the time. I need to be a better example for them. It will be fine and we are all here to help one another. Once again welcome!

I feel like Im in limbo...just waiting around doing nothing. Im ready...but have to wait a month. Not happy! Im ready. I know another month wont kill me however.....

I know what you mean. I am already tired of waiting and I have only had my date since last Wednesday. Find things to make the time go fast. Work keeps me busy and my three kids so I am sure the time will fly but right now it seems way to far away.

So cool that you are being banded on St. Patty's Day :thumbdown: I begin my pre-op diet tomorrow morning and I'm a bit nervous, but really want to see all of this through to the end. I have done a lot of preparing and hopefully it will pay off. Just stopping drinking soda about 2 weeks ago now, I've lost 6.6 pounds and I imagine that was Water weight due to retention because of all the sodium in pop, and probably a little less calorie intake. I can't even imagine what I'll lose in 3 weeks of the pre-op diet, it should get my weight loss into full swing, that way when I get the band it will just keep on coming off!!

Anyways, congrats on your date and I look forward to keeping in touch with all of you March bandsters :thumbdown:

Hello fellow Kansan. How great that you lost over 6 pounds in 2 weeks. I am about to kick the pop habit next week. I have cut it down a bit in the last couple of months though. Who is doing your surgery? And sorry I just have to....GO K-STATE!!!! LOL

Greetings all,

So a small victory for me this weekend.....my husband I were at Target and they were stocking the Easter stuff, and the baskets and candy. Well I walked right past the Peeps and did not even grab any for my cart. For me that is such a huge huge victory!!! Peeps are my weekness, I so love those marshmallow confections!!!! Anyway, everyone have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Cadbury eggs are my weakness! That yummy creamy goodness covered in chocolate....yeah, those are the ones!

None for me this year, no birthday cake or icecream or green beer for me this year either!

oh no...im sorry to hear this...I was sad to when my surgery was bumped from Feb 8th to March 15th because of sleep apnea...but your right....that wasnt nice....but maybe its an emergency? I always think that what ever the date...given instead for some reason...is somehow meant to be...and maybe that will be revealed to us at some time and then maybe it wont...but whatever the date...it will happen and we will keep you company until then....anxiously waiting together!!!

They said that he is out of town that week and they didnt realize that until monday.. :confused: They could have done march 6 which would have been a week earlier but i cant do it cause our work schedule is already out for that week and it would have been a pain in my butt to try to get it off.. Maybe March 19 is meant to be...

I root for K-State as well, but not when they are playing KU :confused: I remember being a kid and watching KU play KSU and at that time I was a huge Rolondo Blackman fan and they lost in the finals to KU. Our family was divided 3 on 3...now we all pretty much root for KU, but KSU is still in our hearts!!!

I live in southeast Kansas now, but was born and raised in Topeka and actually graduated from Holton!
