I got up to almost 1200 today Nicole, part of it because I had 3 venti soy slender lattes, 2 hot and 1 iced all Decaf of course (130 cals each, so almost 400 just in lattes! Talk about drinking my calories!!) but part of it I think is from 2 days in a row of heavy heavy exercise,where I was working off more than 1000 cals but taking in only 500 . . . that it just too much of a calorie deficit! So from about 5 o'clock today until about 7 I ate pretty solid, all good just could not STOP it! Eat a little wait 20 minutes eat some more and repeat . . . . not the bandster way so * hope I am over that! Aunt Flo is leaving so that should not have caused it, I think it is the deficit from too much excercise + not enough food. Weird how it did not hit until today tho.

haha Riley, your body was trying to trust you not to starve it so it finally took matters into its own hands. I usually have this non stop eating issue right before my depo shot but I got it on the 11th so it should have stopped long ago - So far, today is day one of the not needing to eat phase. Hopefully it will last for the next 3 or 4 years LOL

HEy Candra I have a fill on the 3rd at Richmond. I usually get their early anyway.........so if Liz lets me come into the class I would just have to leave for a bit to get my fill.........I am guessing I won't see Robin that day cause she will be in the pre op class with you guys.........I would love to come sit in with you guys!!

Lets see how it goes!! I think you get done at noon so I could saty with your guys after my fill. I will have to ask Liz when I get there if I can come.......I am a SUPPORT person right?? You guys bringing the hubbies??

Riley Jane - I think i need to rub your feet - maybe exercise is contagious like rubbing the belly of a pregnant woman is.

Oh, no - no hubby for this - he doesn't have the patients to sit thru this stuff - i don't know if he will even stay at the hospital while I'm having surgery - he may go sit in the car and watch a DVD but if he may come back to the house and pick me up when it's over LOL. YOU R MY SUPPORT PERSON! so bring your ass and park it next to me. hahaha

Candra call the office and ask how many lap-band patients he has and if he does his own fills - ask them which doc has most (I think we can assume its Doc :D - and if you get banded by one doc there, can you switch to another for fills?

Nicole the elephant is the recovery one that comes and sits on your chest when you first wake up! No one has ever actualoy seen it so we don't really know that it is pink . . . seriously I had been told to expect it so I did not panic TOO bad when I wole up and the elephant was sitting there - I know I had to get up to make the elephant get off tho, I struggled a bit with that - but at least I did not freak out that I could not breather, which I would have if I was not thinking to myself, "oh there's the elephant sitting on my chest!"

I hate not being able to breath - I think I will ask Dr. Fisher to sit me up before he wakes me up. good idea though I think I will call tomorrow.

Ok, Tamra see you tomorrow at 5:45. I'll be in a little red honda not as cute as jes' little silver honda! we both have two seater convertibles - mine is a targa (hard) top though. so if you get there first, wave us down as we are driving in or else I will be out front waiting for you

They are much better about actually answering the phone in the Richmond Bariatric office now - so if it past the time they should have advanced you and you haven't heard from anyone - call them and ask. When I was going through this no one EVER answered the phone - you had to leave a message and they never returned it.

I blew it and had cake and ice cream for dinner - just a small piece and about a cup of vanilla ice cream - I bought the ice cream for my son's birthday and my mind can't stay off of it.

I'm going to call Richmond tomorrow to see if I can get in to get a small fill - my restriction seems to be gone - or my band is being lazy. Now Tina and I are friends on Facebook.< /p>

      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.
