U go girls.... looookkkking goooooooooddd!!!!!...

Thanks, BabySista.

John, I will be there. Don't think I'll make the walk - It is an hour drive as it is - Jes, what do you think about that?

Oh, Nicole - my boobs need a planet of their own! You are right, they have NOT gone down (yet!) by band size has but not the cup - boo hoo - Love the pic with the sexy wet hair.

Tina - pray for me that they will, eventually, shrink!

Riley Jane - take it easy on that knee - another words, NO CAKES lol. Have fun in Lake Tahoe - you will be missed :tongue2:

Heather I have a dress for you that I got from Torrid - I've only worn it once! it's an 18 - I'll bring it Saturday - got another one but its a 20 (I think) It looks like it would be too big for you but we'll check it out - got some capri's too.

I emailed the Doc to see if I have any Fluid in my band yet. All of a sudden yesterday I got starving and am still hungry - I feel NOWHERE near full or satisfied on 1/4 cup. The only thing that worked really well was grits and I had 1/2 c - then I felt satisfied but only for about an hour. What's up with this? I'm suppose to be at goal and at my sweet spot by now - it's been a whole week already LMAO.

Reggie, Oh, Reggie, where for art thou! Hope you can come Saturday!!!!

Jes - had a good time! wish I coulda stayed longer - see you tomorrow!!

yea, we may miss the walk. I've noticed I'm getting up later and later every morning. So I think I may need to just focus on making the meeting on time, especially with the commute.

OK, Ladies & John -- jes & I are commuting together and it appears that we will miss the walk this weekend. We'd just slow you down anyway - remember we just has surgery and are having such a hard time getting around (sarcasm at it's best)

THIS ITCHING IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!!!!

Candra, one of those papers they gave you when you left the hospital has all three on there. It's probably in your binder LOL

I was looking online and I don't see the one with Dr P either maybe it's too far away? I was trying to schedule my appt with my PCP but I don't know, the system keeps saying nothing available.

Hey girls! Just popping in and thought I'd try to answer your questions.

1--the glue came off of me about 4 weeks post op. I was in NO hurry! I wanted those incisions nice and closed up.

2--the itching is a bitch! It should go away in a week or so.

3--they'll make your follow up appt with your surgeon. It'll be about 6 weeks post-op.

4--don't forget to make an appt with your PCP for 2 weeks post op. They'll look at your incisions and make sure you're healing well and not infected and just do a well check on ya.

Glad to hear you're all doing well! I'm so nauseous still, SO sick of it and I woke up today with a horrible sore throat and head cold. It really sucks especially since we're going on vacation in a couple days! Luckily we'll be relaxing at the beach and I guess I can do that while being sick too...dangit.

Have a great week!

      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.
