what do you guys wear to zumba class? I plan on going monday night and I'm bringing a couple friends who also need the exercise....I can't wait to go, sounds like so much fun..

I go for my first fill on 11/6.....will they do that right in the office? Does it hurt? I got in a pair of size 20's yesterday down from a 22..I haven't weighed since my 2 weeks follow up with Kaplan and have decided not to weigh until I see him on the 6th.....but I can tell in my clothes that inches are falling off..whoo hoo. I do need more exercise so with Zumba on monday..and then I'm gonna walk my granddaughter down at City Park on wednesdays and fridays..weather permitting. We also bought a bow flex but with my port area still being so sore I am holding off on that. Looking forward to meeting you all...and does anyone know if there is a meeting with Jeanne this monday as well?

You know, I thought the same thing! Perhaps if I hadn't been friendly and outgoing I would have been considered "normal"! :eek::mellow:

Guess what! I walked in my first 5K this morning in Marietta. Granted, I didn't have a stellar finish, but I did it and survived! I want to walk in the Turkey Trot next. Hopefully they're still having it. I'd like to lose about another 20 lbs and then I'm going to try to start jogging. Maybe next year I can run the 5k! :eek:

See you guys Monday night at Zumba!

Just a reminder for those who have already been banded. Support Group meeting tonight at 6pm at Jeannie's office. It's supposed to be about plastic surgery and Jeannie was trying to get Dr. Tarrant there. I'm going to go and then leave a little early for Zumba. So, see those who have already been banded there and see those who haven't yet at Zumba! :thumbup:

I will be at the meeting. I think Jeanie told me that she was unable to get that setup and was going to do the meeting on something else. I dunno, guess we will see tonight. :thumbup: I dont think I will make it to Zumba, my asthma is still acting up a lot here lately.

She may have changed what it's about. That was what she said at the last meeting she was going to try to do. I really was looking forward to it!

Ok, so mom is now on her proop diet and I feel so bad for her. Here, Dad and I can eat stuff that she cant but wants to and I know how I felt when I was on it so I know how she feels. The closer her surgery gets, the more scared I get. Im ready to have someone else in the house on the same diet, but I am so scared for her during surgery. She has flatlined(heartstopped) twice during 2 different surgeries before and that scares me half to death. Her surgery is on the 6th. For those of you who pray, PLEASE pray for her.

Froggy, what is the latest on your process??? When do you go to Kaplan? Do you have a date yet??

Moms surgery is Thursday. I guess they have a new rule that if you dont lose 10 pounds in the 2 week preop, your surgery is postponed. I didnt have to do that. Did anyone else?? Mom was frustrated, a week into your diet according to Jeannies scales she had only lost 3 pounds. She said if you compare Kaplans scales to Jeannies, she lost more like 7. She is REALLY trying to get the weight off so she doesnt get postponed.

I was told by Jeannie and Lindsay that I HAVE to lose 5 lbs in the first week of my preop. I start preop November 10th and see Dr. Kaplan on the 10th. On either the 14th or 17th is my EGD and on the 17th I see Jeannie to see if I lost 5 lbs. I saw Lindsay yesterday and I was down to 391 so I guess they are going from that. My surgery is set for November 24th

How much did all you Kaplan bandsters lose during your first week of preop?

How much in the entire 2 weeks?

I was never told I had to lose 10 in 2 weeks I was just told I had to lose 5 in the first week. I was told I would most likely lose 10 or more if I follow the diet. All I have to worry about is that my tummy is A-okay for surgery in the EGD, and losing the 5 lbs.

And of course...being impatient waiting for the rest of my appts and surgery! :)

I dont know if I lost any during the preop or not. Mom was told 10 pounds must be lost. She even has to go weigh in again Wed, which is the day before her surgery and if she is not down 10, surgery will be postponed. This must be a new thing, I didnt have a weight loss requirement which I had mine done in July. You're going to have a fun thanksgiving lol.. liquids for you. Mom should be on mushies or softs by then. Good luck. Keep us posted

      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?

      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.
