A thread for Single Bandsters

Kewl, Chrispy!! I wanna see, too. No piercings or tats here. Well, except my ears, of course.

Smilin'apple, everyone I know who is friends with an ex still needed time and space to heal after the initial break-up. I think by living with this person you're just prolonging your heartache. But that's just my opinion. Follow your heart, as cheesy as it sounds.

JC, isn't your surgery this week?

Denise, I hope the scale moved a little for you this past week. I made a little, tiny bit of progress, but not much. I've decided I'm hitting the gym HARD this week. I just have to make time...

I have been completely swamped here, working day and night, without a lot of time to chime in here on the boards.

Derbygirl, I was able to talk my Dr. into leaving the band in and putting some fill back in. He only put 1.5 in but that's ok with me.

Hello to all from Toronto - home to the stars for the next 10 days.

First of all a great big cheer for JC who's not losing the band - I'm sure you can taste your goal weight now.

And for all you gals out there....I hope you're jelaous....my date last night was GEORGE CLOONEY.....

Well - sort of.

Went to the priemier of his movie and then to the gala party afterwards. I was able to speak to him for 30 seconds and I'm still on cloud 9. The man is all sex appeal - he should be outlawed.

I also caught a glimpse of Brad and Angelina.

This is just a great time to be in Toronto with all of Hollywood here. I'll be going to the International Film Festival closing gala next weekend and I'll let you know who is thare and what happens. I might just kidnap George...:)

I am so bummed out. I went in for a fill, and instead of gaining more restriction

I lost all restriction. I don't know why. I am afraid I have a leak.

JC, I really feel for you, now that I know what it's like to have an unfilled

band. This stinks.

I just don't get how he added more saline, but I totally lost restriction.

I don't know enough about this sort of thing, but it seems to me that when

he pulled it all out, and told me I still had it all, when he pushed it back in,

it went somewhere else.

Wow. I have been so busy, and haven't been able to keep up at all!! I'm working ALL the time, not to mention school, trying to find a new job, and move! It's crazy.

But the good part is that, I've gone from being absolutely dateless to dating THREE different guys. ;-)

Now it's just trying to figure out which one I would like to develop something with... But I'm just playing it by ear for now, see where it goes...

I think the weight loss has helped with my esteem, and that's reflecting in my personality, and making me more open to them ya know?

Denise, did you go back to fill doctor? Are you feeling any better?

Hi Everyone, very tired, started at 4:00 am with a 8 mile 30 min. stationary bike ride. Then after work jogged 3 miles followed by 5 mile walk at 4 mph. Not quite the intensity I had planned, I gave up too soon. I will try to do better tomorrow!

Good Night All, JC

i totally get what you are saying. i was just banded on 8/29. i find myself having to explain to everyone why i'm off from work, or in pain, or not going on dates ect.

i am 33 and am also casually dating.

i hate having to constantly explain myself and then having people have expectations of me. or getting lectured which is the worst

JC, My appointment is Friday and I can't wait. This is horrible. I am trying not to eat more until my appointment, but I am hungry all the time. It's like I forgot what it was like before I got banded.

You completely amaze me with all that exercise! I went to an aerobics class this morning and now my back is killing me. No more jumping around for me. It sucks getting old. I have to stick to the elliptikill and the stair stepper and they get so boring!

      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.
