I have another reason to lose 100lbs! I want to get in my tub with more hot Water, more of my honey;) and less me. I hate it when I get in and the water squishes over the top!

Does anyone want to start a list of stuff to buy for after surgery & stuff for the hospital (for those of us that have to stay over) that you have heard of?

I had my nutrition appt. yesterday. We did not sample anything. She did show us empty boxes. Yea! Whatever......... What shakes for after surgery did y'all like the flavor of (where do you get them also)? She said to add whey Protein in the shakes at least once a day, or to drink Isopure 8oz. a day from GNC. She is kind of goofy and straight out of school. Was not sure about what exactly what to buy?

Wenjea-I started my pre-op today. Feel pretty good so far. Then again it is only 4:30 the first day.............I am getting so excited! How are you doing? Did you start your pre-op yet?

Check out this thread - http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=14814

It's got lists of stuff to buy for post-surgery.

slackaction - you make this look so easy. I hope mine goes so well. I can't believe you are home and typing already. All those who vote to have it so easy say I . . . . . . . . .

Jessica - I start liquids tomorrow but I am pumped and ready. I'm looking forward to not having to think about food for the next six weeks. My biggest decision will be to have a chocolate or vanilla Protein Shake. Oh yea . . then there is the color of Jello or popscicle to think about and also the 'what kind of broth do I want this time' question. Watching the pounds melt away will be my new favorite past time.

The 31st is still in May the last time I looked so that makes you one of us!!!!

I to will miss my friend of food:( oh but thin will be so great! I keep thinking everytime we go out to eat. wow, will this be the last time that I eat mexican food, or spagetti. Sounds silly doesnt it. how old are your kids? where do you live? Im in az and have 3 kids.

I live in the Dallas, TX area. I have twin boys that are four, and a three year old little girl. I have to do this so I can keep up with them. You would think I wouldn't have time to eat because I am so busy. Not an issue!

I am so excited about this month.

Good luck to all of our May 3rd buddies! I will be praying for you all tomorrow!:biggrin1:

A list of all the reasons I would like to lose 100 lbs.

1. to be able to bend over and tie my shoes and breathe at the same time

2. to lose my apron (if you know what I mean, say Amen)

3. to stop giving Lane Bryant so much money

4. to be active with my kids

5. to feel like being more "active" with my husband

6. to set a better example for my kids

7. to not always be the largest person in the room

8. so all of my pant will no longer have those lovely worn spots where my thighs rub

9. To wear a skirt and not get a rash on my thighs

10. to be able to cross my legs

11. to be able to pass by someone and not feel like my huge @ss is gonna knock them over

12. to wear "cute" undies again... shop at Victoria's Secret again! (no more granny panties)

13. so I don't have to suck my stomach in all the time.

14. So I won't have to constantly be re-arranging my clothes to make sure all of my lumps and bumps are covered appropriately.ponder.gif

15. so I can fit comfortably in an airplane seat

16. So I won't have to wear a full-length trench coat to the beach

(exaggeration, but you get what I mean)

17. So when I want to walk at lunch with the girls, I can keep up with

them and not feel self-conscsious because I'm breathing heavier than

they are.

<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->18. So I can give myself a pedicure!

19. not be ashamed to be in a FULL LENGTH picture!

20. So I can ride roller coasters.

21. To maybe be able to wear a sexy nightie for my hubbie and look good in it.....

22. To be able to wear a pair of jeans that zip and not be pull-ons

23. So I will be willing to have my picture taken again.

24. Dance again, it wears me out right now.

32. I want to be able to tuck in a shirt again....I know its not the style but I still would like to have the option.

33. I want to walk up stairs and be able to talk when I get to the top.

34. I want to live long enough to drive my kids crazy and spoil the grandkids!

35. Enjoying snowboarding, wakeboarding and hiking without it feeling like a chore.

36. To be in pictures and not hide behind someone (like that helps).

37. I want to get out of bed without the feeling of rolling out of bed.

38. Dance at parties.....in a dress!!! OMG

39. I would like to be able to hug my husband real close without my big belly getting in the way.

40. I want to be able to buy a 'girlie' souvenier t-shirt when I go to theme parks, carnivals, shows, etc... instead of boxy tee shirts because those are the only ones that fit.

41. Shopping in "normal" stores. Avenue gets OLD!

42. Having normal looking backs of my knees (odd I know)

43. Doing things with my kids without guilt or worry that I will injure myself or get too tired.

56. To get into and out of a canoe or kayak gracefully and without fear of sinking the vessel!

57. To sit in a chair with arms and not fear it will come with when you stand up!nervous.gif

58. To quit having to stretch my shirt over my knees while squatting, just so it hangs a little looser (and then have trouble getting back up!)

59. So the top of my pants stop flipping over, because my belly is so big and lops over the top.

60. So the bed will stop making noise when I get in.

61. So I can stop putting powder under my "apron" everyday.

62. To be "active" with my hubby during the day or with the lights on and not freak out about it the whole time.

I have one for the list of 100 reasons that drives me nuts!

I don't want to have to scope out the room to figure out which way I can go so that I fit between chairs and tables and not knock anyone over! :faint:
