HAHA!! thats funny, years ago my grandfather had that happen to him. Had a curtain catch fire in an old ranch house and after he got everyone out and they were standing outside he realised he was BUFF!! Chris

Sound like the South meadows support group is better than the St Mary's one. I went in January and although the moderator was very nice and helpful the group was a complete waste of my time! Walking would be cool, but you live on the complete opposite end of town from me haha! I live out in Spanish Springs, but I am detimined to start taking my dog on walks around SParks Marina more often. Chris

that is one of my goals, to be able to wear 20X jeans and my Cowboy boots again!! Can't get em on my fat feet Chris

This is almost verbatam what I was going to write!! Tell your husband to have a little compassion for what you are going through and not go out! Better yet, offer him something else he can't refuse to skip dinner:biggrin1: :guess :biggrin1: HE should go for than no problem:bananapartyhat: Chris

You are right about that! I got my call on the way back from my sons first SOLO snowmobile ride!:clap2: before that he has always ridden with us.

Hey all!! I didn't even know this section was here, better pay better attention haha! Pam, I was at a 54 when I weighed at my preop but have lost some sinse then. I am determined to get the 10% off before I go on my Baritrix diet just to prove I can do it. So who all is gonna be at the tuesday meeting?? Make sure and say hi. I am having my wife come with me. Since she does almost all the cooking we thought it would be important for her to go through the class so she could understand the food issuesI will have. I could relay the info but she says that the information highway in my head somtimes has no offramps:) I really like the idea of having a locals thread, keeps things a little closer to home Chris

I am really going to ask my Doc why there are so many different aproaches to the time before surgery! You would think that there should be a set of guidlines t follow and these docs are all over the place! Seems kinda crazy! Good luck to you guys on todays date Chris

my doc. doesn't use the Optifast, he has us use BariatriX supliment. I don't know if it is better or worse, but I get to start it in 2 weeks. That scares me more than the surgery Chris

my wife absolutly swears by Airborne!! SHe is a schoolteacher and as soon she starts to feel a cold coming on she starts taking that stuff. Give it a try Chris

quiet here!! thought I would bring this back up. Chris

Yeah, Feb. is almost here and now we all get going! Good luck you early peeps!!! Chris

yeah, one of the other things I had to postponed was a weekend alone with my wife. We were gonna go away for the weekend Feb.15th but my wife said she did not want to go when I was on my liquid diet. I just have to remind myself how much better it will be later on Chris

I don't think about it too much except when I am on here. It does kinda bumm me out though when I think about the things this winter I am going to miss. I will miss our big snowmobile trip in the beginning of mach, and the trip to Texas to visit my sister. I just have to remind myself that next year will be so much better Chris

she was planning on it, and now she will for sure. I have been really using my Mom for my support because she went through this with her bypass. My wife is really trying to help me out and now we are getting to the stages she can. I will let you all know how it goes on the 6th Thanks Chris

I go in for my pre op class on the 15th and my wife was wondering if that is something she should be there for?? She does almost all the food prep and is getting pretty nervous about what she will need to do to help me. Chris

GOOD ON YA!! This is my biggest fear. Talk about cold turkey! Chris

Got a double wammy today. Took my son Snowmobiling today and had a great day. On my way back I got a beep on my phone. Message from my Doc. My band adte is set for Feb. 27.!!! I guess that means we are on our way Chris

GOT MY DATE TODAY!!! Feb. 27 with DR Ganser. I go to the preop class on the 15th and one more after that. Hopefully the time will go by quick Chris

Hey all, Just waitin on my date now! All paid up, tests done and waiting like crazy to getthis thing going!! Looking foreward to hearing all us guys talking. BTW, about the sex! Why else in the world would we be doing this if it wasn't for that hahaha!! After all, I know that women believe that is all we think about:) Then again, maybe itis just the first on the list! Lets see, Sex, horsepower, sex, snowmobiles, sex, hunting, sex! I see a patern emerging here!! Chris

Got a call today and was told all my paperwork is ni and they will call me on friday to setup my surgerie:) Problem is that I will be out of town on friday for most of the day. I hope I can catch them on my way home. I would hate to lose an earlier date because I was out playing Chris

Thats the wierd thing, it only does it at home. Work PC's are just fine. Wierd huh Chris

Just did mine on Thursday. It was not that bad and the psycologist that did it was pretty cool! She did ask me questions that I was never expecting which is kinda the point I guess. I was in there about 1.5 hours total and honestly, I was all worked up for nothing Chris

dumped Cookies, dumped temp files, relogged on and no change. Any other ideas Chris

TTT There are no Mods on here??? Chris

Just got done with my Pshyc today. Much more indepth than I thought it would be! Asked me some pretty serious questions that I was not prepaired for, but I guess that is the idea. Went to the docs office afterward and was told I could have my date as soon as tomorow or monday, but it may be in March. I won't know till they call. Chris
