haha.. that is too funny about your mama. Yes, they make me laugh out loud and I feel like I am transported in time. i started reading them years ago and went to get 14 last night at Walmart but they did not have it.

Patty!!!

I LOVE that you identify with the books!! I was so obsessed with Janet's books...I got worried when I need the next one, they would be checked out...I told my hubby...I will just be a minute in the library..I am getting the next book...lol...I walked out with 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13!! I would turn it in as soon as I read it! Then I got mama hooked...she's turned very sassy since reading them... lol..she dyed her hair RED 3 wks ago!! She's 68!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE GETTING BANDED THIS WEEK AND NEXT!!!! I got banded on Friday 9/19 and each day I wake up I feel so much better and stronger!!!

I was nervous too ... but it was the easiest, simpliest surgery I have ever had done!

Tell them you are nervous, and they will give you something sooner to take the edge off.

I'll be praying for you! and waiting to hear all about how your experience, everyone I have talked to has had easy, smooth surgeries and so will you!:biggrin:

April, We share the same date and I'm nervous also. Big day, big decision. I'm excited, but definitely concerned. Please get in touch after your surgery. We can compare notes. My prayers are with you. Good Banding, Carolyn

I had my surgery yesterday.

Man am I in pain.

I didn't think it would hurt this much but what was I thinking?

I cannot lay down without my tummy burning and aching.

So I am sleeping in a chair.

Getting up and about.

Walking as much as possible in 10 min incriments.

I have a Q-pump that feeds pain med to my port area.

But it still hurts.

I'm trying to sleep as much as possible.

I'm trying to stay on top as far as taking my meds.

I hope this gets better fast.:thumbdown:

I so agree with you. I was banded on the 3rd. I NEVER had real pain. I was sore like you had done too many sit ups. It has been so easy so far.

Hi everyone!! I got my band sept 25th!!! The pain wasn't much for me at all the first few days. My port area is hurting now though for some reason. I thought it would get better not worse. :thumbup: Over all I'm doing well.

Hating the shake stage! :mellow: The weight loss is really keeping me going! :drool:

I've lost 12 lbs so far including 1 wk post op! :cool2:

      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.
