Hi Goose! Say, wanna be band buddies...although on opposites sides of the country, we can compare notes! I am actually from New York, Long Island, and we visited Jersey alot when I was little. 'Little' so long ago,,,but soon to be again!

I am excited for December, are you going thru a nesting stage like me? Just want everything to look nice (i.e. if any visitors when recuping).

I am also so glad to be doing this when it is cooler, so I won't 'sweat' the recovery, literally! Nice to meet you, and all our December family of bandsters!

Sure we can be band buddies..Ive def been nesting and trying to get everything prepared im going to spend TG in Disney :mellow: so that has my attention moreso then my new birthday of Dec 10 :cool2:

My husband is from Long Island area thats where we were married..but i made him into a jersey boy. :eek:

I will be banded on December 3rd, and it can't get here soon enough! November 5th was open, but my husband and I are going to Mexico for a wedding Nov. 17-25, which would have been much to soon for me to go. Normally I would LOVE to go on vacation, but now I just want to get it over with and GET TO THE HOSPITAL! Kind of warped, but I know all of you understand! I will be doing the preop diet through Thanksgiving, full liquids through my birthday (Dec. 14th), and mushies through Christmas and New Years--not the easiest holidays to get through with these kind of limitations, but it will be SO worth it!

Come'on Carol! You are never too old to be a hottie! Use a little visualization here and see yourself next year at this time. You will have so much more energy, a lot more smiles and laughter in your life, a little bit of wiggle instead of jiggle in your walk! You don't have to be 25 to be a hottie - just the "fire" of a new, confident woman who knows how to reach one of the most important goals of her life. I don't feel much like a hottie right now either, but I know where I'm going, and you will be right there with me! :mellow:

Rosey,

I grew up in Central Jersey. I live in Northwest Florida now. I have been down here for almost 10 years. Received an email from my husband after I placed a personal ad on the internet exactly 10 years ago today. :thumbup:

Wow, time flys!

Carol,

If you aren't comfortable with Holiday Hotties, I guess "Christmas Cougars" would be entirely out of the question? :thumbup:

Hi December Bandsters! Hi Fran!

Happy Anniversary Fran hehe. My folks live on the east coast in Florida.

I live in North of Sacramento in Cal. So glad you are part of this group, by the way, guess we are buddy bandsters too! My new date is Dec. 10th and I am thankful for this date, (changes due to other circumstances) it is the 3rd one I have gotten, and the 3rd one is the charm! It is going to be a GREAT way to end the year of 2008 and start off 2009 to look fine with a great tool! So are you being banded in Florida? My surgery will be in South San Francisco, bout 2.5 hrs from home, which is Ok with me. Several Kaisers are closer if needed. My pre-op is November 25th, how about yours? So many questions, thoughts and emotions, so glad we have buddies in here to share them with! Have a healthy day of good choices! :thumbup:

Hi All - hope everyone is having a good evening. It turned COLD here in Missouri today - and we'll have our first hard freeze tonight. I'm just trying to stay warm. Colder weather means DECEMBER is NEAR!! It's coming and we will soon be new bandsters going into a new year and a new life!

We have had a lot of suggestions for names, and several have already put names on their signature blocks. I am going to list the suggestions that have been made and would like all of you to vote for your favorite. This does not mean that ALL of us have to go by the same name, but it's kinda fun if we do. Here we go...

Winter Wonders

Holiday Belles (that would be if it's chicks only)

December Stars

Holiday Hotties

December Degrees

December Losers

Christmas Cougars

Santa's Vixens

Santa's Stars

Any other suggestions are welcome.....

My own personal feelings are that we should make sure our name presents a positive image to the banded world. I have put a name on my signature block, but can change it in just a few minutes if the group chooses a different name - no problem. I also want to make sure everyone is comfortable with the choice, so please express your preferences.

If I forgot or missed any names suggested, please let me know. I apologize in advance!

      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.
