The November 'band'wagon!

[mjiacik 2]

I would love to be added to the Facebook page too. I am under Julie Tucker Nobles.

I've started my liquid diet a few days early with a small meal at night Tuesday will be hard I fear but I just keep thinking nothing tastes as good as thin feels! I've been reading so many negative post I'm glad to hear positive ones. Still I am nervous a bit but exited.Goodbye to my old friend "bread" hello to my new love "health". Banding Day the 25th..goodnight all.

SORRY! The Double Stuffed Cookie is by Syntrax Nectars! DE-LISH! The Unjury flavors are good as well, they just don't have as many flavors!

Tomorrow I pre-register for my surgery scheduled on Thursday the 15th. I am so nervous my stomach is in knots. What am I doing??? Is this the right thing for me? I guess it's a little late to ask these questions huh? I'm so excited about the long-term and kinda scared of the short-term. I've done well on my pre-op diet, found strength I never even thought I had, experienced some days of weakness and occasional low points. Not as far as cheating on diet but upset with myself for how long I have let this go on. My husband and daughter have been all excited lately about being able to go places we normally wouldn't go because of my weight. I know I need to focus on the here and now so I will try my best not to let myself or my family down. Please say a prayer for me as I will do the same for all of you. Good luck to all having surgery soon and to all that are recovering now. God Bless!!

Hello everyone...... so happy. I celebrated my THREE YEAR bandaversery this past Saturday the 10th. November 10, 2009 was my NEW birthday....

For me .... LB was the best thing i ever did for my self and wouldn't change a thing.

Advice for the holidays..... take it slow and find the mushy stuff....soup, taters, peas, avoid the meats if you can. Drink a shake before you have any dinner and when people ask... tell them you ate a late Breakfast. And remember NO DRINKING WITH YOUR MEAL.....

I hope you all the success in the world.

I'm 8 days post surgery and feeling really great. Pain is mostly gone except for the occasional shoulder pain. First post-op appointment is tomorrow.

My incisions were glued and healing. They itch like crazy! I would like to put lotion on them but not sure if that's ok.

I am drinking 3 5 oz Protein Shakes a day, obviously that's not enough Protein but I'm afraid to drink more. I think I could get at least a cup down at a time but is that too much? I'm on full liquids and kind of struggling with when to eat what? Am I making this more difficult than it needs to be?

Do you mean 3---5oz drinks or 35 oz of drink I drink a 14oz bottle of protein 3 x's a day that's it for me I get a sf pudding, popcicle or Jello in between, I have had tomatoe Soup but next day I have a weight gain Fluid I think I think this is all trial and erro I have talked to people who say 1 day you can eat something and the next day it makes you sick just get plenty of fluids of some kind is what I was told. Good luck at the Drs.
