BandedTheresa

Im in...first challenge since banded. Sept 29th. good luck everyone!

I agree you look awesome in both pictures...very pretty...you can tell by the glow in your eye and the smile on your face how happy you are to get snookie off your back lol GREAT JOB! Cant wait till i get there :eek:

I didnt have a pre-op diet to go threw. The night before surgery I just couldnt have anything to eat or drink. I have faith that you will be just fine. I was also self pay...orientation was sept 11...set my date, had it on the 29th.

Chris...From all my past diets I also realized that.So what helps me with that is I take Fiber Choice and my vitamins everyday. The fiber choice works with the band because they are chewable. And because I also need to make sure I take my calcium and vitamin D I get Fiber choice w/ Cal &vit D.

Thank you very much tgamez....good luck with your insurance.

LOL...the day before yesterday was the worst of my cold, I had those really deep chest coughs. Where it was non preductive and just real dry. Those did make me very sore. my abdomin area and my back. I just am taking Vicks 44 during the day and nitequil at night. 4 days now and I am feeling alot better and not sore anymore. Im assuming I didnt hurt anything in there lol

Good Morning everyone.... Mytrice and MissJoany Im sorry to hear about yalls discomfort at your port sites. I hope everything works out for both of you. Try to stay positive and not let your minds take over with all bad things...that will just worry yall and then lead to stress. Rambuncious I am very glad to hear that you are above average with your loss. I too was questioning if I am losing enough. I dont go back into the Dr until the week of Nov 15. My scale is stuck right now but not going up. I still dont feel like I am restricted. I did start a Journal acouple days ago....I am now accountable for what I put in my body lol. In a weird way it feels good knowing I have to write it down. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.....see you again on Monday. Theresa
