Hootie, don't worry about it. When I got there, she told Judy and I there was no reservation but they would put a table together. About 10 minutes later, Felicia comes out and asks why we were waiting in the lobby!! She was a dingbat of the first order!!!

"She was a dingbat".... since I was the last reference in that sentence, was it me or the hostess? LOL (Kidding!)

Mary, are you going to call Elaine? Did you call and put the reservation under your name?

SO FAR:

Felicia

Judy

Mary

Hootie

I won't do the reservation until the week before. It will be under "Mary".

Yes, mom, I will call Elaine.:)

Just to clarify: The receptionist was the dingbat...not my good buddy Felicia!! :thumbup:

Hemmej,

Welcome!!! :) We get together once a month. We started in August. We are always looking for more bandsters to join us!! There are anywhere from 6-9 of us. We have a lot of fun. Our pictures are posted under the October and September get-togethers. We were all strangers when we met. Now we are friends. It's been great support for all of us. Hope you will join us this month!! We plan our next get-together at each months lunch or dinner. Not sure what the December plans will be!!! We'll decide in November.

Let us know if you can join us!!

Welcome, Hemmej!

The get-togethers are once a month, and some of us also meet on our own and chat via the boards or the phone.

It's a great group of people with whom to sit and talk about experiences, goals, trials, and successes.

I love meeting new people, just drop me a line if you would like to set something up. AND, of course, we would love to have you at the luncheon on the 23rd!

Felicia

Hi Everyone:smile2:

I haven't been able to post since surgery, so I thought I would update y'all. I was banded last Wednesday (10/22) by Dr. Atkinson. As of today, I have lost 21 pounds!!! I really cannot believe how fast the weight is coming off. I know I'm not going to lose this fast for very much longer, but I am enjoying it while it lasts. I have had some trouble with pain over the lastr week. Not from the port or any other incision sites, but from a combination of gas settling in my chest and the vigorous sternal rub that the anesthesiologist gave me. I am bruised from my collarbone to my breast on the left side of my chest. Apparantly I had a hard time coming out of anesthesia, but I think that Dr. Link had the urge to dance a merry jig on my chest for fun.:) Anyway, all the pain is worth it, and I cannot wait to get healthy. By the way, sign me up, I will definitely see you all at lunch in November!!!

I would love to come, but am still in limbo here at The Venetian... I won't know what position I'll have until Friday and then I have no idea how long training will be nor do I know when I receive my schedule!!! Ay-Yay-Yay!!! Such drama I tell ya... :smile2:

I miss you guys and hope to see you for our get-together...

I'm down 50lbs and feeling so much better now. I have to admit that I have been very bad and have not been working out. I will get back into it once my life is settled again.

XOXOXO

      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.
