Recommended Posts

I feel like I have been gone forever...I'm a lurker...yes I've entered the official I've been banded for 8 months and cannot find the time to post...or perhaps my neurosis has resolved and I'm no longer needing to be a codependent freak checking my LBT messages from work getting in trouble for illegal internet access...LOL

Anyway...lot's of new faces...it's good to see...now as a seasoned bandster (uh hum...can I officially call myself that) I should be on here answering newbie questions like others did for me...

So...what's new...I've been reading and replying when I could...so sorry to hear about Donali again but good Lord what a great attitude...Michelle looks great...thanks for the birthday wish from Bright and a question to Alexandra...why am I not being notified of new PM's?

About me...the condo from hell finally sold after being on the market for two years...thank goodness...bought a house and am closing on the same day the condo sells...started back to class last week and it's kicking my ass...and most importantly after a bought with being way too tight from gastritis caused by antibiotics and stress after my Mom's stroke I got an unfill and could eat like a trucker...managed to not gain anything and got a fill back to what I had pre-tightness...WHAT A DIFFERENCE A 15TH OF A CC MAKES!

I guess besides checking in to tell you all I miss you and promise to be a better bandster is that those struggling with restriction, besides Anne...sorry sweetie but at least it can be fixed right...a little can mean a whole lot in terms of quantity...I literally could eat 5 pieces of thin pizza before...now...doubt I could eat one...so...getting back on track...took the dog for a walk tonight after I got home from class at 9:45pm...and if anyone wants to help me move I'll provide refreshments!

Love you all.

Hey Miss JLHoogland,

Glad to see you've come back to say hello and very happy for you that the apartment from hell finally sold. Good deal... New beginings in a new house. I wish I could come and help you move. Long ways a way though. Maybe there will be closer volunteers. I just wanted to say hello and send you the very best wishes. CHEERS to new beginings. I sypathize with the schooling part. I thought I would never be done with my bachelors and now I'm signed up for a summer class too. YUCK... Teresa

Jennye, congratulations on all the good tidings! What a relief it must be to be on the other side of the real estate hassle.

The answer to your question is, I have no idea. Maybe you could try deleting your Cookies and re-logging in? That's my only suggestion, since I really have no special clue about the technical side of things.

Nice to have you back! :)

Yeah Jennye's BACK!!! Now if we can get Bright to check in, I will see all the folks that originally helped me start my Band journey.

You have been missed, but it sounds like you were very busy. I hope your Mom is doing better and that your sister isn't making things tough on you still.

Tell us all about your new house... please?

Glad your back, now don't lurk again:D

Hey guys...

Thanks for the greeting...

I've been crazy busy with work, school, family, and now packing!

My Mom is doing really well...still struggling with the speech and in therapy but getting better...either that or we are understanding how she communicates better!

The house...I'm really excited...it's a two story salt box that was completely redone...3 bedrooms, one bath, finished basement...it's super cute...it's historic so it's got the tall ceilings and hardwood floors...fenced yard and a big two stall garage for all my power tools...not...with the lack of closet space I'll be storing stuff out there!

Other than that just trying to keep on keeping on...

Getting in trouble for illegal internet access.., never.

Besides walking the dog, checking in on mom, signing every little realstate doc. You have time for school. Are you going for your Dr. degree?

Could you squeze in a trip to Vegas?

Dang, you go girl

Have some shrimp...relax.

      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.
