A journey to the BANDED side

The road to hell?

I no longer fear death as I have seen hell and survived it. :nervous I started a 10-day pre-op diet on Tuesday and it was hard! You see I am a chef and the accessibility to food and the pretty much unconscious habit of grazing was almost too much to bear. :faint: Also at work there was, on both days now (yesterday and today) the cruellest of menu items that are some of my favourite munchie food in the world. So not only were they available to me, I was also in charge of one of them! So 8 hours o

Rocky Road

Oh my good Gravy!!!   I had my first day of ten, pre-op diet and it is going to be SO hard!   I litterally had to tell myself every minute or so that I cannot have everything!   And of course everything was much more appealing with the whole forbidden fruit aspect...   But I will persevere with all the will power I can muster...   After all I am not a JEDI master by chance.

Last Legs

It is a salem occation today as it is the final day of people food for me ! I must start the Pre op diet as of tomorrow.   I have had pretty much all the foods I like in the last 3 days. I had a lunch at eastside marios, I had fish and chips at a local Joeys, H&D rocky road ice cream, m&ms, and a nice peanut butter sandwich.   Tomorrow I feast on Yogurt and Cottage cheese (bacteria filled milk and it's by-products) for the next ten days! It will be tough (since I will have daily a

Hand in my pocket?

I have an older Doctor and I figured that at my normal 3-month visit with him I would tell him about going in for the Lap band. :ballchain:I anticipated his responses of “What is it? How does it work? What is expected after the operation?” stuff like that. However when I mention that I am going for it, he already knows all about it and blah blah blah! :blah: I was shock that he knew what it was and most of what it entailed.:faint: He did have a couple points mixed up, but hopefully the pamphlet

Baby steps...

Had my consult at TLBC in Toronto yesterday. Took about an hour and a half and it went well and they had an opening for the 4th of May. So in a little less than a month I will be turned to the Banded side. :bandit   The journey will not be easy! Oh no! The PTB have already set an obstacle to trip me up. They gave me a directive, a 10-day pre-op diet:hungry: that is designed to weaken the strongest and most powerful of humans. I speak of the Yoghurt and clotted cheese diet, the very dietary ba

In the beginning...

Monday, April 2, 2007   It has been a little over a year now since I have heard about the LapBand. If you set your wayback machine to February 2006 you will find my wife and a co-worker disussing this new proceedure like a gastricbypass and see the first steps towards the Banded side.   Jump forward 2 months to a nervious Mr. yoda at TLBC in Toronto waiting to hear how his better half has done in the surgery. She came through fine with her own little symbiont implanted inside her belly, to
