MC Heather, I like that name I think that should be your new name at leasst until you get new scrubs and post a picture of yourself in the old & new...

Sorry about your sis, I know it was sd b4 but hopefully she'll more up the list fast.

Okay, about the pants...They were the only clean pair of jeans I had that day, I thought they still fit as I had not had them on in a while. I put them on, came out of the trailer and all the guys (we were at a bachelor party) started laughing hysterically. We than went on a ride to the lake and when we got there my hubby sd "I thought you had a watermelon in your pants when you stood up they stuck out so far". Needless to say I had 2 pairs of those pants with me so we burned one pair in the camp fire that night and I kept one to remind me of how I never want to look that way again. (Sorry I know it was a long story):biggrin:

Mini, We are going to Cancun in October for fall break. That has been my big motovation. Can you find me a deal on airfare? I have the timeshare set up but keep procrastingating on the airfare.

Try getting the last 25-30 pounds off...THAT has been torture. Hopefully the fill I just had put in will get the scale moving again!!

Brandy -- I totally agree with you on the last 20 lbs. That has been the hardest ot get rid of. I have been lazy these last 2 weeks though, with vacations and such. No working out and eating out all the time. You look amazing though and need to keep reminding yourself of that. You have come such a long way and you are an inspiration to all of us. Keep your head up and remember we are MILF's and need to be proud.:biggrin:

Hello ladies (do we have any guys on this Dr. K. group??)

Birthday was very fun. For those of you in Denver, Moondance Botanicals on Corona and 6th does wonderful girls night out spa parties, either foot spa or facials. We did a herbal foot soak, foot scrub, foot mask, then foot massage. Lots of fun!

Mal, I"m so sorry about your son's friend - I sent you a private message.

Denise and Dee, you both look awesome. So inspiring to see your hard work paying off.

Heather, I can't wait to be you and have scrubs that are too big. Right now my large's are too tight, and even the XL do not have much extra room in them. I get so hot and sweaty at work, can't wait to get this weight off and move around more easily.

My consult with Dr. K is one week from today. I can hardly wait to get going already!!!!

MC Heather - too too funny. Do do do-do, do do do do-do, Heather time!

I'm thinking of a new movie "the sisterhood of the baggy pants". About a group of lapbanders .. .

Mini, that is hysterical!!!!! They would have to be baggy jeans with an elastic waist - I can only imagine Erma Bombeck writing a funny column about that idea.

Patty, great job on your progress!!!

Deb had asked me if I was on low carb yet for Dr. K. At what point before surgery does he ask you to start that? Should I be doing it now? Any rules about the diet, or just "low carb"?

You're hilarious!

We were just talking on OH how now that we've lost weight - we are able to pull our pants up over our breasts! ARGH! YIKES! We all feel like Steve Eerkle (sp?)

Nerds to the max!

One of the hospitals here has a "Traveling Pants" exhibit for WLS patients. They have their actual pre-WLS pants and their current pants! It was pretty neat!

The length of time on the pre-op diet - according to his website - or at least when I had my surgery was dependent upon your BMI. I had to be on it for 14 days prior to surgery.

Basically it's ZERO carbs. You can have most veggies except Potatoes and I'd avoid corn too. Protein (meat) and Veggies! No other restrictions.

That was my diet and as long as it hasn't been changed since January, that will be yours too.

      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.
