Katy: I am holding you up in prayer. God will see you through this. Know that HE will be guiding the surgeon.

Gee, I wish I lived closer to you, I'd love to be able to help you out.

God's Blessings,

Susan

Yes, Katy, we will all be keeping you in our prayers.

Glad you found a competent surgeon and praying he will be able to successfully correct the other's botched job.17_1_10.gif

Well gang - I gotta brag a bit this morning (for you who know me - you aren't to shocked at that :tt2:)

Guess what I did this morning - 5 freaking miles !!! in 1 hr 20 minutes... That is a personal best for me - the max miles I have ever done is 4 and that's rarely. But after my over indulgence last weekend while visiting Aunt - I really need to bump up the exercise to get the 1.5 left of the 3 I gained off..

I did the crime (had too many sweets) so now I have to do the time - cuz if I don't and I let a 3 lbs gain turn into 5 lbs gain then 10 lbs - I will end up back at 250 before you know it..

So that extra 2 miles I did this morning just shows me how strong I am - that I am now in control and even though I over indulged - I know what has to be done to compensate for it - it's wasn't the end of the world cuz I ate too many sweets - I don't now say oh I blew it - and continue to over indulge (and pple I want to continue eating sweets - I am not a superwoman with super control)

I just don't ever want to look like this before photo taken 5/06 - I rather look like the after photo taken 2/09... And the only way I am going to accomplish this is by eating healthy and exercising...

Wow...great photos, Janet. You are so beautiful. You truly are an inspiration to all of us.

Heading out for a date with DH tonight. dinner and then stop at our local bar and grill to cap the night off. Haven't seen a lot of my friends for over a month because we have been gone. Should be a fun night. We didn't do anything for Valentines Day cuz we were bushed and in some hotel in Orlando getting ready to fly out the next morning. I am thinking that lobster is in order. LOL....I'm worth it, aren't I?

Everyone have a great evening. Better hit the shower.

Hi,

I sure hope everyone is doing well and I am praying for Katy. That awful surgeon should be stopped doing lap band surgery.

I am doing well and now 5 weeks post op and have lost quite a bit of weight. Since the dehydration incident I have followed literally my doctor's and nutritionist orders. I am now enjoying soft foods.

I was given the go ahead and workout by my physician. I am working out on a cardio cruiser for 15 minutes a day at this time.

      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.
