I am scheduled for May



Recommended Posts

caterpillarfly-that's a pretty nice background :shades_smile:

Thanks so much! I personally like May Miracles, but if we decide to go with a different name I can do the same layout with the different name. I can also make it a little smaller if people prefer something smaller.

Time keeps going by and I'm watching my ticker go down, but I wish May was here already! I'm ready to get started! :biggrin2:

I am in Owensboro which is really close to you. Who is doing your surgery? Tomorrow I go to my 5th appt. I have to do the 6 months of doctor appts. All of my appointments are in Evansville.

I keep thinking about how appropriate it is that we're making this enormous change during the spring...it just seems like the perfect time for a new life and a rebirth. It's funny how I'm already thinking of my surgery date as my "other" birthday.

i just can't wait until i get to do the things i want to do; this weight stops me from doing so much. maybe i can do them,but i'm afraid i'll look ridiculous. like,snowboarding...i already told dh, when all this weight comes off,that's one of the first things i want to do. another is go to a normal size store and try on EVERYTHING for the heck of it! i think when i'm finally there,i'll cry.

this procedure is really is a new begining for all of us:redface:

gmechele: I think we are all a little nervous. And I think we should be. This is something that none of us take lightly and I know we've all put a lot of thought into this.

But.....with that nervousness comes a great deal of excitement!! It's a new beginning and a new journey into territory we've never been to before. We can read and chat with others who have gone before us, but each one of us is different and our journey will be OUR journey. Unlike anyone else's.

Naturally we have a lot in common, but each of our bodies and minds will all react or act a little different to the next persons.

Good luck to you.......I know you'll do fine. Just think, this time NEXT year we'll look great and be so glad we took that step! :wink2:

Scanning through the previous posts, these are the names we have come up with so far. I think it would be a great idea for us all to choose our top 1 or 2 and then post the poll based on maybe 3 or 4 of them. It tends to get sticky when you have this many to choose from. :(

1. May Miracles

2. May Flowers

3. Magnificient Mays

4. BBB: Blooming Bandster Buddies

5. A-May-zing bandits

6. Mighty Mays

7. Minimizing Mays

8. May Minimizers

9. Memorable Mays

10. Marvelous Mays

11. Marvelous MAY Minimizers

12. Success MAYkers

13. Future PlaMAYtes

14. May Late Bloomers

15. a-MAY-zing Miracles

Alright everybody, let's get down to BUSINESS!! :embaressed_smile:

Missy - You will get approved. Don't even think you won't :shades_smile: Positive thinking works Miracles.

It is going to be tough to decide on a name with all those choices. I like Success MAYkers, Magnificient Mays, and May Flowers. I like May Flowers because we are going to all bloom into our new bodies starting this May! WOOO HOOO! But I understand the man thing soooooo... May Miracles is also good because it is a miracle I have saved all this money to pay for my procedure. my DH likes Future PlayMAYtes but wished it was something a little more X Rated. He is such a MAN! Have a super day! I am excited, this is my last day of work before SPRING BREAK!!!! One SPECTACULAR WEEK OF NO KIDS!!! Don't get me wrong, I love 'em, but a break is nice too.

Actually, I have seen one dude who has his...he is a victorious valentine but that's all I remember! LOL :cheers2:

I have come up with a couple of logos as well but I'm still trying to figure out how to post them in the thread. I am going to try...we'll see what happens. Oh, and by the way, these are not necessarily the names we have to go with, they can be changed to reflect whatever name we decide upon.

      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.
