DRH, were you banded at Mt Carmel? If so, you have another week and a half before mushies and you will be ready for then at that time. My fav was FF refried Beans, salsa and FF sour cream. We can all share our favs with you this weekend! Hang in there...

Yes, I had surgery at Mount Carmel West on 4/2. Dr. Choban was my doctor, she is really great. Did anyone have a problem with them filling out leave of abs papers? They still have not sent back my papers to my work which is Mount Carmel.

The message about where the Fashion Show is said the MACY's Hayden Run Rd. entrance area. I'm pretty sure that is the original Macy's store (that's considered the back side of the mall which is NOT facing I-270).

I Can't wait for Saturday!! I will be there and I have a big box of clothes everything from size 22 down to a few sz 18's. ( Not may 18's though still using them did not have a very good loss this month because I really needed an adjustment which I got on the 8th.) Now I am back to loosing!!!! I didn't gain any just came to a grinding halt!!! Didn't realize how much of an adjustment I needed. I now have 3cc's in a 4cc's band.

I was told I am just about maxed out on adjustments. I hope I can lose the rest with this adjustment!!!! Hope everyone is doing well and Can't wait for Sat!!!

Hello,

My name is Darla and I was just banded on April 2. I'm doing okay so far, but I want to meet other people that have been banded. All the people I know had Gastric By pass. I will try to make it on Saturday the 12th.:blush:

:sad_smile::rolleyes2::scared2:

Yes, isn't it wonderful to have other lapband friends who understand what you are going through! Hope to see you Saturday. Look for the Butterfly Helium balloon and you'll find the group. Ha Ha...not expecting too many others to have a balloon like that!!

Heather and Tyanna -- I now understand your excitement at being able to put away older bigger size things in a donate box. My first few things in 4X and 30/32s are going in now and if I don't hear any takers, I'll donate them to charity and the good expensive dresses maybe take them to the Chrissy's consignment store out off E. Main St. near Brice Rd. and see how that goes and maybe see if I can find some smaller sizes for me at a bargain too.

      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.
