All you people do is complain...

My complaint is my car has a cassette player and I can no longer find cassettes.

Laurend could it have been a brown recluse(sp) spider?

No, brown recluses are larger than whatever this was. It was about the size of a pin head. Whatever it was, though, it packed a heck of a wallop. I've still got a scar from where it bit me.

You're lucky Lauren that it didn't cause any further problems. Some bites can cause serious health problems. I am glad yours didn't!

if you have an ipod there is an accessory that you can put in your cassette player, plug that into your ipod and you can listen to your ipod in the car.

my DH has one and im sooooo jealous. (i dont have a cassette player and the radio frequency thingamabobs dont work for me)

I agree, the radio transmitter things are about worthless. My next car will have an audio or usb jack.

Holly, no surgery for me yet either. I have freaked a few times and it had to do with (excuse my expression here) the dumb ass advice that is given sometimes by people that push off their experiences as gospel. I have the ability to distinguish between crap advice and great advice. What I worry about is that there ppl going through the early stages of this and are going to take that crap advice just to use it as an excuse to validate the mistakes they are making in their diet and risk complications with their band.

There are so many lapbanders with years of experience that give great advice. And, their advice usually starts with "talk to your dr. first". I would rather be called on the carpet by someone giving great advice than take risks. I just want to yell sometimes...AREN'T WE ALL IN THIS TO MAKE THIS WORK???????????

Well, it's been said here many times on threads like that: People will ask the same questions until they hear what they want to hear.

I don't see any picture of you for us to worship.

and it looks to me like you spend plenty of time on your computer reading every post and passing judgment. You must be a pleasure to know in real life. Lots of friends.......... right?

You are right to a point, I have seen irrelevent posts that have nothing whatsoever to do with WLS...that is the garbage. However, hearing about others experiences good or bad helped me make my decision. I know what to ask my surgeon, I know what not to do (eg: chew gum) and the moral support that this forum provides is immeasurable. I would suggest that people stick the subject of WLS and leave out the garbage.

I think it's good to talk about other things. That's how we get to know each other. I think we all have issues other than weight to help each other with. What I HATE is when ppl throw insults at others.

      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.
