WOW! Top 10 - that's not bad... We already have a great group in the December bandsters, I guess it follows that we will continue down that road together.

Pete - I am wishing I was in Florida right now. COLD in Kansas City area, and the Dolphins are coming to play football with the Chiefs on Sunday - high is supposed to be +5 with a windchill well below 0. With the Chiefs playing as they are and the cold temps, the stands will probably be close to empty. If they were in a winning season the stadium would be SRO no matter how cold!

Its not even Christmas and I am dreaming of spring already... Ah... dogwood, redbuds, warm breezes...

Joann I'm with you on spring I was not even able to go to my postop appointment there was so much snow here this year. I'm still snowed in lol raise in CA the white stuff I don't drive in.

I had my lapband on Dec 9th and doing well I guess I can't get my excerize in house it soooo small but I'm trying the Wii isn't doing it for me I want to move when I walk. I was in the hospital 4 days because I was so low in oxgen they said maybe I should take a sleep test. Hmmmmm wonder why that wasn't done before surgery?

Welcome Luckyjyn. Seems like there is a lot to learn these days! I have been surprised by some very interesting belches the last couple of weeks. I think I might be able to give my son a run for his money in the belching department (almost 40, and still giggles when he belches...) I'm wondering if this is normal??? It could prove embarassing...

Joann, I know exactly what you mean. I was just thinking - what if I do this in front of someone? Then I thought - Oh well, it's so necessary at this point in time.

      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.
