Any October Bandsters!??!?!

[julie.ann 1]

I will admit that for the past month I feel like I've been doing the "Farewell to food Tour" I have hit all my favorite restaurants and I know I've gained weight. I've never eaten like this my entire life. I'm the heaviest I've ever been so now that I know my surgery and that pre-op diet is around the bend, I'm ready to buckle down. I actually miss eating healthy. I'm like the fattest "healthy' eater I know. I just keep thinking that the more weight I take off without the band, the less I will need to take off with it.

Good luck to everyone. :blushing:

We've all been there! Last Supper Syndrome as it is called. We all know we shouldn't, most do it. Welcome to October. We call ourselves the Smashing Pumpkins. If you are looking for a thread for October 2009 you can look under forums and find more that are having surgery next month. I remember that last month. I thought it would NEVER get here! Good luck!

I finally lost at the last minute! I have to be good ALL WEEK! I went to a football game last night and had some sweets that I shouldn't have, but today is another day.I get to start over right now!

Let us know how you have done. I can tell you this challenge has helped me. I keep thinking that I have to post my numbers so I better be good. I hope to have a little better loss by next week. We will see.

Put me down for 1# lost. Got a fill on Thursday so I should be good to go here. Just got back from my boot camp evaluation and found that my lean weight had decreased and my fat weight had increased. What does that mean? She says I'm not eating enough calories!!!!

I am a blue cross patient. I have to go thru weeks of therapy and she talks way to much about things that have nothing to do with the tools and skills I will need to have when I am complete with my surgery. I have to wait for her to clear me or I can have the surgery. I have seen her 4 times now and she said she would clear me after 5 visits... No such luck. I have had my Upper GI, my blood work, I have lost the weight required, I am chewing thoroughly, I wait 30 minutes to drink, now I have to have a sleep apnea test and I have recording myself sleeping and I know I dont stop breathing and they wont believe me. My man even said I dont stop breathing. But they said I have to have the test and if I have apnea then I have to be on the CPAP for 2 weeks. my luck I will have to have the dang machine. One hurdle after to another...
