I have been blogging and documenting my road down to a healthier me since day one. By all means! blog, there is a whole community of ranging from very experienced to newbies. We support each other and praise each others acccomplishments. My biggest advise along with blogging is to do measurements and pictures. Even if you are not ready to share them with anyone but yourself. You will be sooo glad you did it! Good luck!:thumbup:

I've had three or four different blogs over the past 10 years. Not sure how many readers I ever had, but I always went into it with the attitude that I was blogging for myself. You're absolutely right, that blogging will help you as you go through your journey. I'll be by in a day or two!

I just started a blog a few days ago. I was worried about not having anyone follow it... but I decided that even if nobody follows my blog I'm still going to do it because I know it will help me through this journey. :thumbup:

It's a little late for me to go blog hopping right now (1:55 AM and I should be in bed!), so I'll come back to this thread and visit you all over the next few days. I just re-started a blog that I've had from the beginning. Actually, I can't remember the login and password -- and can't figure it out! -- for a WordPress blog, so I've started a Blogger blog, with a link back to the old one. Anyway -- I'd appreciate it if you'd stop by, but be mindful of the fact that it's under construction for now! :thumbup:

Okay, I couldn't sleep. Since I'm a bit tired to be reading and paying attention to all the lovely blogs mentioned in this post, I added you all to my blogroll! It will be easier to have your blogs there to refer to, rather than having to come back to this post each time I want to check someone out. I should get to each of you in the next day or so.

Happy blogging -- and good luck on your lap-band journeys! :thumbup:

I just started blogging again. I'm still working on the set up and what not, but it's up and running. :)

I'm blogging too. I've enjoyed reading them so much!!! It's very cool to find a community of people who support each other like this. Imagine what a great world this would be if everyone was this positive and supportive of other peoples' struggles.

Katie, I like your blog, but I'm having trouble leaving a comment! I tried in two different browsers and I couldn't with either. I've been blog hopping and leaving comments for several minutes, so I don't think blogger is down. :)

wannaB, I can't get your blog to load. I tried it in two different broswers; all I get is a blank screen. Just thought I'd let you know.

Hmmm... I just tried it on another computer and it is working. I was editing it a little while ago- moving it from tumblr, maybe that was the problem? Thanks for letting me know!

I checked it out and it's working for me. :( I'll recheck the settings.

ETA: I changed a few settings, if you could try it and let me know, that would be great!

@wannaB, I bet I was trying to look as you were editing. It's great now!

@Katie, I'm still having problems. The trouble is that it asks for word verification but there is no place to type in the letters! I've attached a picture of what I see to help you. I have tried it in Chrome and IE. Right now, I don't have access to a second computer to try that.

I'm going to see if I can take the verification off of it. I only use mozilla/foxfire, maybe that has something to do with it.

ETA: I was able to disable the word verification. I hope that helps! Not much fun if you can't leave a comment, eh?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
