Wheezy Whispers-AKA September's Goals



Recommended Posts

Woo! Sign me up for the 8 POUND CLUB! If I can do it, and keep it up til Xmas, I'll be able to get to 200!!

That's my only goal, 8lbs for September.... ending me up at 223.4.

OK THIS IS IT. IT'S THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER. A NEW BEGINNING FOR EVERYONE.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

8 lbs, Argon you can do it. We should call this thread THE 8 LB CLUB:scared: + :) +:) +:( = 8

I made my appointment for my first fill. Oct 5th. 6 weeks post surgery should have been the last week in Sept. but Dr Mumford was not available then. Does the Dr do the first fill? When I met Argon and Cloe in the Dr's office I was sure that Marie did the fills.

I have to say that I am really enjoying all of you. Your words of encouragement, your jokes and laughter. Poking fun while being empathetic.

Thank You

I think Dr. Mumford does his own fills. Dr. Cobourn usually does his as well. Marie did ours last time, but was training the other nurse on how to do them. So maybe eventually the nurses will do the fills, to relieve the dr.s. But thats just my take on things.

I was just thinking.... I'm 99% sure I'll be going home for Xmas... and if I do, I'll likely go to 'the bar' in my hometown, on Boxing Day (night), because thats what everyone does on that day, to see everyone they haven't seen in a long time. How sweeeeeeet would it be to blow all those jerks (I say that cause there's very few people I actually care about seeing) away with me being a weight they probably haven't seen me at since I was ... hmm... 16? Pretty sweet, I think!!

I would especially like to run into my ex. I *know* he's in a going no where job, and probably still the biggest loser around. Better off for dumping me? Hmm... I think he did ME the favor. I wouldn't be where I am now if we hadn't broken up. I just might have to thank him.

*twiddles thumbs in anticipation* Ooooh... that's some good incentive. I almost wish I wouldn't go back until I was at goal, but I gotta!

Argon, I too have an ex I would like to thank.

Have you tried contacting the supplier of the Lap-Band to see if they could help you find someone to do your fills. I still have the pamphlet they gave me. The supplier is Minogue Medical Inc., they are in Montreal and the number is 1-800-665-6466. Maybe they could persuade Dr B. to help you if he uses the same type of band. Can't hurt to try.

Just a thought....., did you offer to pay a rate for the fills with Dr B. The fee for the surgery included the fills. Dr B would have to this for you for nothing. It may be worth it for you to pay. I'm sure the cost for your travel is much more than it would cost for an office visit. It's worth a try.

Hey Wheezy... no I haven't tried that. (calling the makers) I did offer to pay for fills. It was still a no, cause the answer was simply that he didn't have enough time.

BUT... Dr. Cobourn is training a nurse, who is getting the band at the end of September. She lives in Nova Scotia, about 4 hours from me, I think. And then 6 weeks-ish after her surgery, he's going to go to Halifax, gather anyone who wants a fill, and have a big fill-fest, probably by her, while he watches/helps.

So I have about 2 months until then. Hopefully I WON'T need another, but its nice to know if I do, I can go there, and HE will be there, at least the first time. Then hopefully after that, she'll have so much experience, that it won't be hard at all, whenever I have to go back.

;)

      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.
