May 2007 Banders

[Wenjea 1]

I have to laugh at the picture cropping thing. My sister uses markers to change her pictures and make herself look thinner. Sometimes she changes what she is wearing to black with the marker so she can blend in with the shadows. LOL! So here is to never having to crop a picture, put your kids infront of you, or stand in the back to hide your body!!!<br /> <br /> Make sure all of you get your digital cameras out and take a before picture so you can see how far you will go. You can print out the picture, hide it in your underwear drawer and destroy the negative by erasing them off the camera. I love to look at the before and after pics on this website . . truly inspirational!<br /> <br /> Anyone come up with a good May gang name yet?

I am getting really excited! My date is the 17th in Dallas. I have a bit longer to wait than the rest of you. Can someone tell me how to set up my ticker. It keeps telling me it has failed..........I start my pre-op diet of no sugar or bread on the 2nd. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels, right?

I'm getting a band on May 14th. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I would appreciate any suggestions or advice on what I should be doing to prepare for my band.

:help:

That's right honey!!!

Did you go to tickerfactory.com and pick out your ticker things and get all the way to the end where it gives you the html? If so, copy that into your signature on LBT (go to User CP at the top). If this is too vague, say so and I'll elaborate!

(April Bandster peeking in) I felt the same way.. relief and a light at the end of the tunnel!!!! OH and I too have to be at the hospital by 5:30 a.m. :biggrin1: The upside to this is getting released early on Friday.

 

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

 

Hey Tracy, I am a Tracey too-with an 'e'. Cool that we have the same banding date! I am 40 bmi and hope to lose about 100lbs. (mommalee)

HI everyone-just been reading all the great posts. May is just around the corner.....wow! I dont have any more meetings or appts until my surgery on the 3rd. I am getting ready to go on the pre-op liquid diet in few days. I found a vanilla protien drink at costco thats pretty tasty, UNLIKE the caramel and strawberry stuff I tasted at the pre-op seminar!

You need to paste it into where it says 'your signature'. It's the big blank box that looks like a little text editor. Not into where it asks for a file or for a link. Then you go to the very bottom and click on the preview signature and you should be able to see how it'll look.

 

Let us know.

NV Girl,

I'm the one who has Dr. Watson from the same center as yours. I enjoyed the pre-op class they gave. You'll get good, useful information and prescriptions for nausea and pain. I also liked the web site they gave us to use. I'm scheduling my lab work needed for the surgery on Monday for next week sometime and my surgery is on the 2nd! I'm excited too. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: It makes the liquid diet all worth it.

Hi there Uniqueone!

I've got the class on Tuesday. Originally scheduled for the 1st, but my boss informed me I have to be in Vegas, so Michelle was good enough to squeeze me into this weeks class.

Have you been using the protien shake stuff that they recommended? I've yet to try it yet.. how is it?

NV GIRL!

Well, I've heard a lot of bad stuff about it, but, I like it!!! I mean it's just as good if not better than other stuff I've had like Slimfast, Medifast, etc. If you get the vanilla you can put cinnamon and butter buds in it and it tastes like cinnamon rolls..almost. I also put instant coffee in the chocolate sometimes.

All of those people at that center are wonderful. I can't believe anyplace could be any better. Not only are they really, really nice people but they all know what they're doing. We are LUCKY women!!!
