WTG Renewed! It's amazing how we cherish these little things that many people have never had to worry about. It makes the journey so special when things like that happen. Looks like the Couch to 5K is paying off!

silly me - i just realized this was a sept 07 thread i subscribed to...i'm just a few wks away:wink_smile: being banded in oct 07 ...

i think this is such a great thread, probably one of my fav!!!

today i got called tiny. i KNOW i'm short at 5'1 standing upright - but for a neighbor to tell me i'm so petite made me giggle from my toes to my nose...LOL

make no mistake - i got thighs for DAYS, and can be the best nut cracker for the holidays, but am thrilled they're getting solid vs swinging on their own, along w/the butt that could have qualified for it's own zip code.

congrats to everyone here, !!!

This has to be my most favorite thread on Lapband! I have smiled at each one of your achievments. Well done everyone.

I am still very much in the early stages of my weight loss but I have 3 NSV´s that I am proud of so far.

1. I can wear both my wedding band and engagement ring on my finger. Before I could barely wear the ring. (Although my "real" wedding ring is waiting patiently for me to get smaller so I can wear the real diamonds again.

2. I bought a pair of 3/4 jeans a few months ago and the waist was so tight I couldn´t do up the zip. They now fit and look so good, my DH was checking out my a$$ yesterday and loving the way it looked.

3. Another pair of jeans that I bought, I could fit into them but they were so uncomfortable that I didn´t wear them. They are now lose fitting.

I love these little achievements.

Today I was driving down the road and DS was sitting in the front passenger seat. He kept looking at me then he said, "Mom, I don't think that lapband thing was supposed to work so fast!" He said that I am officially 81% to being "hot". He is sooooo much like my DH. They both crack me up!!

      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.
