New Year's Wishes



Recommended Posts

Just want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone here. May all of us reach at least some of our goals in 2004, whether it's deciding on getting banded, actually having surgery, learning to live with the band (me!), or any of the multitude of minigoals we set for ourselves.

Let's make a collective resolution to keep LapBand Talk thriving. It's been a huge help to me and lots of others, and we can't overstate the importance of experiences shared. Thanks to you all for being here.

Enjoy the night, everyone!!! ;):D :D

Greetings from Ireland, where it's already 2004! It's about 2.41am here and I'm just off to bed, but had to wish all my amazing new bandster friends a very happy new year - like Alexandra, this board had been a wonderful support for me and for the first time ever, I really do feel like one of my biggest wishes, (and subject of so many new year's resolutions) is about to come true - me slimmer and healthy! Even tho it's only been nine weeks since my surgery, I feel more energetic, happier and most importantly of all, proud of myself, for taking this leap of faith and hope. I can't believe so much has come from such a little device!

I hope all your wishes come true for 2004, and that we all continue to support each other through this wonderful medium. ;):D :D

I'm looking forward to this being the happiest year I've had in a long time. This is the year I leave all my "fat" baggage behind me and get on with life. Without this particiular site, I don't think I would have ever had my surgery. I didn't always have much to say, but I was listening very closely. Without hearing all the success stories, I never, EVER would have gone through with it.

So thank you, THANK YOU to all of you and I hope you all have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

;)

No resolutions but realistic goals this year. One of them being a five kilometre walk for breast cancer in the summer. I am just so excited about the things I can do now and am looking forward to my future. Happy New Year everyone.

Happy New Year to you too!

On a personal note Alexandra- do you have the LOTR Trivial Pursuit game? It is great fun! Also the ROTK chess set is very nice- gave it to my 9yo for his b'day last week. We LOVED the movie!

Ohhh, I'm jealous! My LOTR Christmas booty was limited to three calendars (two of the same) and the ROTK soundtrack (LOVE it!!). DH and I were looking at the Trivial Pursuit game in the store the other day and almost caved, but it was a bit more than we wanted to spend. But Valentine's Day is coming, yippee! :)

(The game's questions are based on the movies, right? I mean, the amount of trivia one could glean from the books is too astronomical to contemplate...)

      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.
