You can sit next to me! I'd not sit next to Shel, because she tends to be a bit irritating at times! Poking, pinching, squirming!!

Dee, I KNOW you love me and you REALLY want to sit next to me! Mama always said that being irritating was what I do best. It's a gift. Yeah, that's it. A gift. I'm gifted that way. ;) (Deb -- I hate to bring this up, but Dee has a problem with gas. Just thought you should know since you might sit beside her. I'm just looking out for your best interests and want you to make an informed decision when you select a bench position. No pressure. )

postion = position. I'm sleepy. Nighty-nite, banditos!

deb, I think you and I should just sit on the end by ourselves. Cuz we're old losers. We're not up for all the shenanigans going on. We need our naps and such.

Adork - put me down for 1 lb this week. It will probably be more next week due to the fact I'm wrestling will something stuck for the last 5 hours!!!! Damn chicken and Dumplings....I'm never eating them again!!! They need to make "band Drain-O"! Anyone have any suggestions. I've been trying pineapple juice.....do you think hot tea would work???

Amieru - I have heard that papaya extract really helps food break down if you've got that stuck feeling for too long and need to clear it out. You can buy it with the Vitamins, they're chewable and pleasant tasting. I had asked Dr.K about this last year and he said, "Wouldn't hurt to have some handy." But to note, he hadn't heard of that. Also to note, I haven't had an issue to HAVE to need it wo I can't say if it really works or not....good luck there sister!

My SIS called today to talk about surgery. I steered her away from a bypass (just because I'm a Band Snob - that and she's only 200 lbs - and all the other reasons WE chose the band). Insurance covers it for her so I told her she had a LOT of options. I suggested some docs in Anchorage and told her about Dr. K (she has relatives in Co. Springs) and ..... she's scheduled for Oct. 22!!! I'm proud of her and hope this journey will help her with some health issues. Last year she was in a horrible 4-wheeler accident that pretty much made mush out of her pelvis (not the outside, the inside - crotch area) and her recovery has been miraculous...I can't imagine having extra weight with all that! YIKES! I told her to check out this site and thread...maybe we'll see her here?

Okay, I know we weigh in on Monday, but both yesterday and today I have weighed in at under 200. I'm so happy! When I weighed last Thursday before leaving for the treehouse, I weighed 200.5. I was soooo bummed on Monday when I weighed 202, but it must have been water! YAY!!!!

Oh, this will be so helpful for her. Is she going to Dr. K. then?

Congrats on being your lightest since surgery!

      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?

      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.
