Hi ya'll - I'm new here!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I'm new to this community - I was banded almost 2 wks ago on 10/1/09. I'm 31 and my highest weight was 297 - I'm down to 279 as of 10/9/09. Who knew a liquid diet would be that successful?!

I'm struggling right now NOT to eat - I am craving a salad. I don't even care if it has salad dressing! I started a blog (the good, bad and ugly - all of it), so feel free to stop by and offer up ideas, support, etc. It can be found here: Following my Dreams, One by One

I can't wait until my first fill - I haven't been hungry until today but holy cow, it's awful! Thanks in advance for all your support. I'm just having one of those rough days.

xo,

Adrienne :thumbup:

Hi LilMissDiva! Thanks for your kind words. Today is going much better. I RANTED on my blog last night and I got all my anger out - so today is better, thankfully haha. I even dropped the "F-bomb" on there, which is sooo not like me! I just wanted a salad haha.

Anyway, how's your journey going? I hope all is well with you. I know this is going to be a bumpy journey, so I'm prepared for what's to come.

Thanks again!

Hi Leslie-

Glad you read it and liked it! I feel much better today, which is fan-freaking-tastic. My mom laughed so hard at my f-bomb (maybe I should put an 18 or older clause on there haha). Feel free to stop byt he blog any time - leave comments too! I'd love to share ideas, recipes, etc. Hope all is well with you!

Best,

Adrienne :thumbup:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
