Happy Fat Tuesday y'all.

Decisions, decisions. Do I eat the Paczki or the Coldstone Peanut Butter chocolate Ice cream cake I got for Dan's birthday???? I just can't decide.

Polish heritage or Coldstone deliciousness? Both? 10 pound weight gain this week?

Maybe I will just have a salad.< /p>

Factacular keeps asking the same question over and over again, regardless of how I answer it.

That's annoying.

Have you tried refreshing the pages after you answer? You should not have to do that but I am at a loss for anything else you can do.

I figure there's a glitch in the system. I saw other people in a forum saying the same thing. I'll give it a little time. I'll so be back.

Hi everyone, I am still sitting around the house healing well. I have never taken this much time off from work, it has been a blessing in disguise. I have been totally focussed on my school work. I did not realize that one of the classes I signed up for was accelerated. Oh well it will be over soon enough.

I have not been motivated or enthusiastic about getting on here and sharing lately. It all started before I ended up in the hospital. I have been having trouble with this band for a couple months and struggling with it in the worst way. My focuss has been on trying to figure out what was going wrong. I guess we all know the answer now.

My weight loss ticker is still accurate, although I don't know how. I am really down about the struggles. I wanted so badly to be under 220 by now. My biggest fear has now moved from will I lose the band to how much will I gain before being refilled. My Dr. said he wasn't sure how long it would be before we start refilling. He said he is thinking 6 months or a even year!!!!!!

I have to say how impressed I am with all of you.

ZZ, your b4 after pics are awesome.

D, HP, judging from your avatars. WOW just WOW!

J, BG, you two are still kicking ass.

B, thanks for the well wishes and for making me feel a little better about my OCD. I think you have a decided edge on me in that arena.

TX, congrats on the smoking. That is a tough feat.

Turler or T, welcome to the insanity. My two cents on the Bike issue. I went to the recumbent for the fact that I could not only ride it longer, but I also recovered from those long rides much faster. This allowed me not only to ride again faster but I was also able to walk sooner without horrible pain. That is just my personal point of view many find hybrids or other types of bikes fit the bill. It is very difficult but you have to search for what is going to work for you.

Take care, JC

      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.
