Wow Stevee.....That's fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

Now you need to be concerned with not eating too many last meals...you don't want to gain before your surgery. And really, really REALLY, aside from carbonation there's nothing you won't be able to eat later. Not as much, but most things will go down if you chew well enough and take small bites.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congrats Chris (and wife) and Stevee!!!! That's so exciting!

Flipper, I wish you all the best for the next month. Nothing is easy, but if you stick to lquids as much as possible, you will succeed. It will go faster than you think, I promise! Good luck!

Hi to everyone else. I'm so happy it's almost September. Not that the weather gets any better down here, but at least it means there are only 3 months left in hurricane season! :)

WooHoo! Finally banded! Surgery was on Tuesday and I've already lost 5 pounds. I am so excited! I can't wait to plan a anniversary trip for Von and me to P-Town! I just couldn't go and feel so bad about myself. I want to look like I belong to her....anyone understand that? Sounds stupid I know. She has gained over the past 8 1/2 years due to my poor choices. When we met I was 145 pounds and she was 128(very healthy, worked out, cared about what she ate.....etc etc) Now, thanks to me and my accident, she has not been able to do the things she once did to take care of herself. Well, baby, that's all about to change! Poor thing has decided to work this band all the way with me. She is even on the same diet I am. I told he she needs to eat more than me...she does, but only a little. I love her so much and just want to shout it from the rooftops! She is the best partner I could ever have imagined God would send me! I am so lucky!!!

I wish someone on this thread was close by so we could be band buddies! Anyone close to Houston?

Thanks kity!

I think I did a no no today. Somebody shoot me! I had about 6 baby spoons of applesauce for Breakfast, couldn't get past that. Then I went to visit my Aunt and Uncle, big mistake, maybe. I got there and was drinking my Water and chatting, when my Aunt asked me if I wanted a DONUT. I thought WTH is she asking me for. Then she remembered my surgery and felt horrible, so I being the sweet niece I am told her I would have a bite if she would finish it. Ok, I had two bites, but I chewed them to liquid before swallowing. Then she wanted me to take her for Tai food. I ordered a smoothie with those little tapioca balls in the bottom...YUM. I forgot how portions are alot larger when you are not at home. I really love the drink so I drank 2/3 of it. I am so full if you poked me with a pin right now I think I would POP!!! I am so worried about slippage, someone please reassure me I'm not going to die! Thank goodness for my Flinstones Vitamin, no way I would have gotten any today the way I have eaten.

Tri-

You wont die. That's called a learning experience. I'm guessing you are learned to plan better in the future?!

As for lovin' the partner. I hear you loud and clear. I feel like I got the prize in the cracker jack box too.

;)

You'll be fine.

Hey Pamela

We're all good. I just finished my first 50+ mile ride today. 56 to be exact. There's more to talk about, life, A, kid...but I'm pooped. Catch you soon.

Have to share with you all a NSV, I went and tried new clothes today, get this a SIZE 14, I have not been a 14 ever, at least I don't remember ever being a 14, I think I skipped right over it.

OK and when it comes to partners ladies I am sorry to tell you that I have the Diamond, we will be celebrating 15 years, going to spend the day at Catalina Island. We both have never been there so we thought we would go and check it out.

Hope every one is having a great weekend.

      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.
