Welcome Kassie.

onmyway, great to hear from you. Glad to hear you're doing so well.

I just had to make a run to the store at 1:30AM for my DH, he has a terrible headache and we're out of excedrine. Now is that love, or what.

Hello all.....is anyone still awake? Chim.....good luck tomorrow!!! You've always been a great support to everyone else....just wanted to return it!!

My first day on my pre-op diet......it wasn't hell....but pretty close!! Headaches from diet pepsi withdrawl didn't help either. But, I also noticed that I could actually spend time listening to my stomach and when it was hungry verses me just being bored! Only 6 days to go......

After reading all of today's posts, I felt bad for those who had their "monthly bill" arrive at surgery time....before I got my Medina IUD put in, I had to worry about that, but no more...yipeeeeeeeeeeeee

Lynette...I know you like some of the reality shows.....my sister sent a message to me this evening letting me know that Pirate Master has been moved to the internet (CBS site) and will no longer be shown on TV, that was a bummer, but I'm glad we will be able to see the end anyway.

I bought some Protein Powder today, boy is that stuff spendy.....I got a natural and a vanilla creme, the guy who was at the Max Nutrition store was very helpful when I told him that I was going to go and have the band done...he ended up showing me a picture of himself before he lost his weight.......what a difference!! It just made me more determined and excited to be on the other side!!

To all those being banded tomorrow....good luck!!!

Sunny, See, we sisters think alike!!! I don't know why, but some of it, if it weren't said on this thread, would be absolutely hilarious! I guess because I have unintentionally and honestly innocently, set myself up soooo many times over the years!!! I am usually the last one to get it!!!! LOL

jfk and Biggest Loser - welcome to bandland via Dr. K!! I thought he was awesome! I'm glad you had good experiences and are recovering well!

As for Red Lobster...I'm now picturing Red Lobser's around the continent with banded women all eating at the same time and sitting with their laptops at the table to chat with everyone else! Haha! Just a side note...anyone aware that I'm on the coast? King crab here as often as I want! In the winter it's better becaue you don't need a boat, just a snowmachine, auger, and a crab pot...usually 7-8 king crab a pot! Oh yeah, can't wait for winter!:hungry:

I go away for a softball game and a zillion pages of posts go by...now everyone's in bed. DANG!

G'nite all!

Marcy, Sounds like you would have no problem getting us all there with you!!!! How cool would that be????? :clap2:

Dini,

Hi, Little Girl!!! OF course you can go to Red Lobster with us!!! We wouldn't leave you out of that one!!!

Training sounds rough!!! I would be draggin' my butt in and out of that place!!! Keep us posted! You can do it!!!!!:)

Your sis is home, actually early and surprisingly didn't look like she had drank at all (which I know she did)!!! She came home about 8 and left again at 9 to go exercise, then get her nails, and hair done. Going out again tonight, of course!!!! Then off to the Myrtle Beach for a week, starting Saturday morning!!! I'm telling you, I should have her checking in with you!!!! This one gives me gray hairs!!!! Too much spunk for me, way too much like her dad!!!!! LOL Love 'em to death, but man, can they fry the nerves, lol!!!!!!!!!:help:

Keep missing you on here!!! We got to get this down to a science, Girl!!!:)

Coalin, I hear you on the Protein drinks!!! They definitely aren't cheap, but once you are eating other foods, they will last a good while!!! So won't have to buy them that often!

      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.
