Hi, fellow thirty-somethings =)

Hi fellow 30-somethings:

I thought I would drop in for the last few months that it is possible. I turn 40 in August and am rather looking forward to it. The 30s have been great, but it seems each year gets better, so I am excited forwhatever is on the horizon.

It is in anticipation of turning 40 that I will be banded (self-pay) in January. This is an area that I've not yet gotten under control and I want to enter my 40s healthier and better looking -- not that I'm not darned cute now. I want to avoid the chronic health problems that come with -- gasp -- morbid obesity. I also want to have more energy and shop someplace other than the fat man stores or through special order. So, there you have it, friends.

It's nice to hear you are excited about turning 40! I freaked when I turned 30!

Hey I've been on this journey of LapBand since this summer. I have attended my seminar, phys. therpy, phyc. eval, support group, attended 1 of the 5 behavoral classes(tomorrow is my 2nd) and I also see the Dietician on Thursday and the nurse coordinator. I was just wondering what other test that I have to have besides the "blood work"and upper GI. I do not need the sleep test.

anyways a but about myself- I love in New Hampshire, have 3 kids (15 1/2,11 and 3 1/2) married to a police officer who works ALL OF THE TIME! and I am a stay at home mom who babysits. I have been over weight my entire life and I have made this decision bacause I want to healthier for my kids and MYSELF!! I would love to get some new friends to have on my journey that has been through it, going through it, or even just thinking about!! Have an awesome day!!!

You will probably have to have an EKG. That should be it. I had to have blood work, upper GI, and an EKG.

Hello everyone..........

My names Wendy, I was banded 8/30/07. Ive had a few ups and downs along the way where I had to have my fill completely out (not my choice)

Anyhow, Im back on track and ready to burn right thru the rest of this weight..........

Good Luck and Congratulations Everyone in your journeys thru weight loss!

Thank you so much! The nurse coordinator has made it possible to have my EKG, upper GI, and chest x-ray at my local hospital:smile:- that will cut down on my many trips to where I am having all of the other appointments, (which are 1 1/2 hours away one way) Hope to get this 30 something tread going!:rolleyes2:

I'm on the downward side of thirty, but I refuse to claim 40 just yet. I can't remember if I have ever posted in this forum before. Hi to everyone. Good luck where ever you are on your journey!

Anyone else have to see HSM3 with their kids? UGH....man made me miss the days of the Breakfast Club. HSM was painful, so painful. Ugh.

[Carrie_C 9]

Yea, it's stupid.

[Boo Boo Kitty 3]

Yea, it's stupid.

So glad I am not the only one.

[Carrie_C 9]

In fact, I think most movies are stupid now, and tv shows. I have no interest in any of them.

Thankfully my son is too "cool" for HSM3. I did make him watch part of Sixteen Candles last week because he wanted to know what to wear for 80s day at school.

I haven't had the pleasure of having to see any of the HSM's movies! Surprisingly since I have an 11 year old daughter!! I did see Hairspray- which will never be as good as Grease, but I suppose it's this generation's Grease! movies aren't like they were in the 80's!

I do have a question-- I tried my first Protein Drink today- yuck! I suppose it could be cuz it was strawberry and that's not my favorite to begin with, but is the whey protien from Wal-mart (Choc) any good?? I've read reviews, but most were from body builders that "suck it up" as far as taste! Just wondering, or any suggestions would be great:thumbup:!!
