Okay I am getting a little bit concerned about JC.

Great Job Ragdoll!

J good to know you made it home safe.

HP I hate the nasty heat too. And the stress of not losing. I try so hard to not make it a big deal but it always is. Then I feel like I have to overcompensate and drive myself mad with working out.

Yeah squats and lunges are the effing devil.

Oh and thanks D. I don't wanna leave a message for everyone else and forget abot you!

Hey my cycling buddies.

I'm in yellow and my new pal from LBT, Pamela is in the red. You can't miss the fact we met in a coffee/pastery/gelato shop! Oi.

But don't we look cute?

I'm too am worried about JC. I certainly hope his doc allowed him to keep his band....

Godzilla to Dracula? D, that's pretty funny.

HP-Working out as a family is fantastic. You're daughter will inspire you and she'll be surprised that you're able to kick ass. WTG!

BG- :wacko:

Welcome Ragdoll. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi everyone, J glad you made it home ok. Great pic !!!!!!

Here is the scoop, There is a problem, I go in for pre-op stuff Sept, 5. Doc said he will try to fix it first, but he may have to remove.

I may have been reading him wrong but he knows my sister, she works there, he looked like he just ran over someones puppy and was having a hard time looking me in the eyes.

I am among other things exhausted. I will be gone all day tomorrow and will check back in on Sunday.

I haven't talked to her yet. I am going to try to get her to pry a little more info. He really looked like he was restraining himself from saying something.

I gotta figure out what the hell I am going to do. It is not a done deal and I'm not into feeling sorry for myself. I can tell you this, right now at this moment I feel completly LOST!

Yeah, I can imagine how you feel. What would you think in this situation. So, when you say you are going in for pre surgery stuff, what does that mean? I wonder if you should get ahold of your original surgeon. What did the doctor do today? Any tests?

He went over the results of the barium study they did before I was released. You can see it, it is not exactly where it used to be.

The pre-op stuff s blood work o2 etc. before he goes in and goes fishing. All bets may be off before that date I have a low grade fever right now. I don't know what it all means I went numb when he was talking to me. I should of had someone in there with me I can be a real dumbass sometimes.

JC, I am sure that you know that any of us are here for you anytime!! I am sure that what he said will come back to you or you could call and have the nurse tell you again. I am sure you are numb and right now you are in shock! Rest, rest and rest some more...please..

Of course you're numb! I'd be too.

Like you said, nothing is written in stone. Your surgeon is good to go exploring before saying all bets are off. He can't be happy about going behind a different surgeon's work, that's never a favorite thing to do.

You are young and healthy. It may be saved after all.

Come here and vent all you need. We really care about you.

JC maybe you were so upset that you thought he was restraining himself from telling you something. You can make it through this even if the doctor can't save your band. You have come this far already on your own. I was talking to my nurse coordinator the other day about how hard we have to work even with having surgery. All our band does is control our food portions to an extent. WE do ALL the work along with it. You have done the work and made it this far. You have exercised your butt off (literally). You have made better food choices. And you can continue to do this even if it does not involve a Lapband. You will be in my and everyones thoughts around here. You are an ultimate bad ass and you can make it through anything.

So onto my workout for the day. I have officially kicked my old record of 20 miles ass. 33 MILES BABY!!!!!!!!!!!! Took me about 3.5 hours. I am beat. And every one of you helped me through it. When I got pooped and thought I couldn't make it I just kept thinking of what you guys would do in the situation. Instead of WWJD it was WWJDJcHpD. lol Anyhow I ma pretty darn proud of myself and pretty darn jealous of all the people I saw with camelbacks.

      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.
