I'm sitting in the lobby waiting for my nutrition class to start! This should be fun

I'm new to the site but happy to have found it. I don't have a date yet, just that it will be in May. I've done everything required by the insurance company, now it's just a waiting game.

Nice to be in good company...Good Luck May Bandsters!

Welcome Hard to believe things are getting pretty close for our May group!! When I first posted this topic, I think it was back in Feb. and I was the only one. Glad I'm not alone!!

Howdy all!! I'm back from Kauai...it was an incredible trip. Apparently I love snorkeling!

I wanted to make note though of a few things:

1. I was unable to go on the tubing adventure because of a weight limit.

2. I couldn't go ziplining because of a weight limit.

3. My ankles from the flight looked like stove pipes once we landed.

4. The woman next to me tried to put the arm rest down on the plane and I had to move my fat out of the way.

Instead of getting upset...I've promised myself that I'm going back to do all the things I couldn't do this time. Also...I bought myself a sundress that I will be wearing when I go back. It's an xl...out of the regular size section of the store. I'm going to pin it up in my room and picture myself floating down the river in my tube...or ziplining through the trees! I also can't wait to have to pull the strap of the seatbelt on the lane so that my seatbelt is tight enough!

I can't wait for May 14th...

I have my Gastroenterology and Cardiology Doctors appointment tomorrow

[cat whisperer 127]

Leanne, thanks for sharing your experiences. All the things you listed are things I would want to do on vacation too... so I think your goal is awesome, and great idea about the dress. I had a similar experience with my ankles when I went to the Dominican Republic a couple of years ago. Funny thing, I was terrified to snorkel (I'm not all that comfortable in the water) and finally the second last day I did it... and I loved it too. Also, it was so hot there and I still felt I had to keep covered up - I would like to be able to wear a tank top and not feel embarrassed. Welcome home!

Good luck to all those starting their 2 week pre-op tomorrow! I sure hope those Unjury Protein Shakes taste good.

[cat whisperer 127]

Good luck!! I have another week before starting. Let us know how you're doing!

[ANewMe428 125]

I'm 7 days pre op. I'm starving. I've already outgrown these shakes, Jello & broths.

[leannel90 206]

I have another week before I start too...I've purchased the Magic Bullet blender though and that thing is AWESOME! I highly recommend for Soups or smoothies. Its also going to be great when I'm post op on soft foods and/or pureed. I'm looking very forward to it.
