So I just had my fill Dr here completely unfill my lapband today. Total of 3.3cc taken out of a 4.0cc band. Did not feel like I had any restriction at all.

He began lecturing me that "you have not worked your lapband hard enough"

LOL.

OH...OKAY Mr Doctor who makes $375 on every fill that does not work. <_<

After five years of fighting with my band and putting all the weight back on, I will make sure and remember that a year from now.

I saved this article from yesterday as I have had this happen. 30 minutes in TJ without realizing I had not turned off my data package. 200 later.

I could have bought a great pair of shoes in 30 minutes. :unsure:

Your surgery will pay for itself. I'm happy for you.

will you be staying at the Marriott like the rest of us? I would imagine that you will be released to the hotel on the same night I fly in (the 9th).

It might be good if we all PM each other our first/last names and phone numbers so we can check on each other for support. I am guessing if I tell the Marriott "I am looking for 1hotmomma" they will think I have lost my mind. LOL

Yes, I am staying at the Marriott. I will send you a pm.

Am I the only one who needs to be on Xanax for my nerves? everyday I go between being very excited for this opportunity and going into the corner, curling into a ball and sobbing.

I am really not liking myself the past two days.

no. I have a Samsung Galaxy. We can always skype. However, I would have to get an account set up. I think we would all be doing so much better with our nerves if we could talk real time (well, at least I would feel better :rolleyes: )

I have Skype if u do want to chat. Somedays I think I look pretty damn cute & wonder if I NEED this ... Then I think I'm only a few months off the pills and have gone up rapidly. If I knew I would stay this size forever I would - but I'm def not ... I don't want to wait till I'm bigger which is inevitable. Pull out some old photos of your largest weight ... And keep it on the fridge x

      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.
