So what do you think? National Champs this year?

If we can get the QB position nailed down, I don't see why not. Even with AD gone, we have talent and depth at the RB position and the defense should be solid.

I've heard good things about the QB position so far, the newcomers are supposed to be good, but the bad thing is, they are new, I predict that if we don't get the title this year, it will be next.

Edit: And how about AD at the NFL combine, impressive.

What's up guys. Nice to see the man thread. Speaking of football, I can't wait to sit in the Swamp, be comfortable in my seat, and watch Tebow maul linebackers. Do you guys sweat less too, when you've lost the weight. My wife always brings my an extra tee shirt to games... Of course its usually 100% humidity and 100 degrees in G'ville.

Hi there! You will have a great time! I do sweat a lot less, I am usually downright cold much of the time now. I am actually looking forward to summer for the first time ever! :)

Yeh, it looks great, hope it lives up to the previews!

I'm actually looking forward to seeing if I can navagate the steps and bleacher seats better. I have arthritis and have needed a hand rail to help me. By fall I hope to have lost enough where I won't have to worry about getting to a seat!

Good to hear that all of you are excited about being banded. Man, congrats to all. It's because of this tread that I have confidence in this whole weight loss thing. I will tell you that I would be banded over and over again if I had known that I would have felt the way I feel. I was banded on January 15, 2007 and have lost a total of 28 lbs since then. I have not had any problems nor has it been a challenge to find things to eat nor energy. I have pretty much stayed on task with the diet or healthy eating habits. I think I have lost so well because, once I saw that I had lost a little weight, I was encouraged to keep myself strict to my doctors orders. I went on tueday for my first fill and I would like to share that experience with you all.

They first accessed my port area to determine whether or not my incissions were healing correctly. He had me to place both of my legs together and lift them six inches. This allowed the port to pop/lift in the muscle under the skin. He then swabbed me with alcohol and injected the saline. Now, I will tell you that it feels really weird. It kind of feels like you have butterflies in your stomach.:faint: It was not bad, but when I first saw the needle, I was like :) (What????). Yeah, I knew there was going to be a needle, but not so large. It did not hurt, but it did feel funny. It was not an immediate restriction, but today I have eaten a smalll cup of apple sauce and am satisfied. Just think, I began this thing weighting 248 lbs and am now 218.5 lbs. All I can do is be excited for everyone else beginning or on this journey. Congratulations to all of you who have made this life saving decision.

Good stuff Andre. I weigh about 245 and am being banded in two weeks. Hope to get down to around 180. I actually feel pretty comfortable, personally, at 220. I lift weights and sort of have a big frame anyway.. BMI of 39. My problem has been getting down to 220, getting satisfied w/myself and then blowing up to 250 range, did that every year for about 10yrs now. I know that's not healthy and I turn 30 the week after my surgery...... why i decided to do it. I don't want to live like that in my 30s.

Hey guys... Is it just me or do we lose weight a lot faster than the ladies who are banded?

Do we have a big enough "sample size" to make this generalization? Am I just nutty?

      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.
