Lucky # Sevens- July 07 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

To all who are on deck for tomorrow--Dakota, james2539, forgv70x7, dmtjet, tinkerbell, bun1, jdhj861jr, cantweight, and appleblossom, we wish you the best. We will be thinking of you and praying for you!

To everyone else, hello and I hope all is well!

Just so you know, I really think I do have an infection. I'm a bit ticked by that b/c I have to get rid of it before the surgery. I was on antibiotics before for this exact infection, but it obviously didn't get rid of it...so to the doc tomorrow for this. It has certainly worn me down and I exhaust easily.

I am so glad, though, to see all of the posting and activity. Welcome to all the new folks here!

Things I'm thankful for: My faith (the Lord has certainly blessed me), my family (they are awesome), and this board. I would've never thought I could get so much inspiration and encouragement online.

What I am most thankful for... hmmm. I would say that I am thankful for my DH's love for me, even when I'm moody. I'm thankful that Children's Aid approved us to adopt, and gave us our little girl. I'm thankful for my son's smile, compassion, innocence and love. I'm thankful for my own strength of spirit, endurance, beauty (such a pretty face :whoo:) and resourcefullness. Finally, I'm thankful I had the most wonderful mother in the world, and wish so much that she was still here to share in my life.

Ok, a little deep, but true.

Hope everyone's weekend was good. Mine was great! Went to see Clay Aiken in concert. If anyone ever gets a chance to see him, I would definitely suggest it!!

They should be able to. It's a stupid UTI/bladder infection. I woulda thought the last round of antibiotics would've done it, but nope. It's hanging around. It HAS to go. I will KILL someone if my surgery is delayed!!!:angry:angry:angry

*do ya sense my anger w/this???* LOL!!!

Kathybad, it's another band that tracks your calories in vs. calories out. You wear it around your arm. It's s'posed to work great. I read about it here on LBT...here's the thread : http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/bodybugg-users-report-here-36232/

Here's the website, too: BODYBUGG :: HOW IT WORKS

It's a little pricey upfront, but seems like it's worth it. Many of the really successful folks here on LBT have used this thingy...and I want one so bad, but can't afford it right now. Not until all this pre-op stuff is done (and I get my $$ back from my insurance company).

wAS THAT the Clay Aiken concert in Tulsa?? I read on the internet that he got in a little trouble with a lady on his flight in to Tulsa. Put his foot on her armrest or something.:) My son's mother-in-law is a Clay Aiken groupie! She's flying from Seattle to L.A. to one of his concerts this summer. I like him, too, but she's sort of obsessed.

Sorry, we're a little off topic!

Chimboree, I'd love one too, I just don't think we'll need it just yet. I'm dropping lbs like crazy now, although it won't last forever. I'd like to wait until the smaller version comes out like they've been talking about.

      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.
