Ok so i started my pre-op diet on the 1st since my surgery is the 16th (yay!), so i was doing AWESOME!!!! i lost 8.2 lbs mon-fri, sat nothing then this morning I GAINED A POUND!!! WTH!!! so now im panicked since i HAVE to lose 10 lbs before surgery and i saying 12 since i gained two lbs sincei had seen the dr dec 15 which was before the holidays so pretty dang good for having all kinds of goodies and only 2 lbs! anyways, now im not sure what to do low carb diet? maybe two ow carb days then go to straight liquids IDK!! eeekkk!!!! what do you all think?? my shakes as of right now are muscle milk vanilla and non fat milk, tho i did buy another powder that is called designer whey, and its low carb, so idk any input is greatly appreciated!!! so ready to kick fats ace!!!!

I hear ya on that one! im not a overnighter but i have a low pain tolerance and a high pain med tolerance so we will see how this works out! surgery the 16th!

muscle milk is what me and the hubby drink, its yummy tho i need to find some sort of savory thing since im not a huge sweets fan, but for a protein shake its great!

you can totally join a group and not be banded im not banded till the 16! we all need as much support as we can take!

the one ive seen that my surgeon does is like at the waist line about 6-8 inches to the left of the belly button but i think that he changes according to person.

my surgeon did give me a diet but the program director said shakes only. but the shakes he told me where the atkins which i hate so im gonna high protein 600-800- calorie a day plan so i can have some sort of savory i cant take sweets im not a sweets person and i dont even really like chocolate, so im gonna isopure, vanilla light muscle milk protein shakes and broth. and if ive had a really low cal day a lean cuisine low cal meal. thats my plan. losing 10 lbs before surgery is ideal. so im looking forward to the 16th!

Got my approval and getting banded 2/16/2011!! i chose to wait since my mom wanted to be here, yay for op day though!

LOL its san diegans, we are here but no one really stays active for some reason in the san diego topics, dunno why.. cocoabean on my friends list is local, so is moo, they are the most active local friends. i think everyone searches topics, idk. me and cocoabean are east county girls not sure about moo. i thinks she is southbay. any ways HI WELCOME!!

I just have to say that im happy for you, your husband is doing the pre-op diet with you, My husband is going to do it with me as well, he needs to lose a few pounds but not much so for him he sees it as a total plus hes helping me and himself! now i just need to get rid of all the kids fruit Snacks lol. ill jepp a watch on your posts for updates! and yes we are blessed with amazing hubbies!!!

Cocoabean, well I just got most of my pre-op with the 1-800-get-thin peeps but idk if I will stick with them, I liked them becuase they take my insurance and I could get most of my pre-op done immediately but alas i had a horribly visit on sat to do all of my pre-op I had an appointment at 11 am on sat showed up at 10 like i was supposed to after all my other things that happened during the day I ended up leaving at 6:30 at night, so after 24 hours or not eating or drinking and a rude rad-tech I was done, everyone else was great but it was hard, i left balling and my husband yelling at them! the other reason is i was referred to them by my husbands co-worker, she however is having a good experience with them, the ast reason i liked them was becuase they will include an cosmetic procedures after the weightloss with only me having to pay my deductable since im a "hardship". So im not really sure where im at at this point. Im glad to hear they can drug induce the stress test because with my knees there is no way! thanks!

When I was younger about 13 I got told by a ymca counselor that i would be gorgeous if i just ya know lost a little, I looked at him and my words where well when im 18 you can bend over and kiss my a$$ cause im the hottest thing there is! LOL let me tell you he was floored! at the time I was 13 a full 36C and wore a size 8 dress. I looked like i was 20! I have always developed WAY ahead of the other girls. not that long ago i got into a fight at my families bar they own in Oregon and the only thing she could say to me was your a fat a$$ and you should call jenny craig! I was all B&*(h I may be fat but but I can hold my head up high, I am in love with an amazing man, and you are nothing but the waste that gets flushed down the toilet, a 50 yr old woman who depends on a child to take care of her can she cant put down a bottle or leave desperate men alone! Ill be skinny one day and you, youll still be the trash beneath me. she couldnt even understand me. the people that put us down are the people that have worse problems than us! its just easier to pick on us cause they think we will take cause society says kate moss is what a woman needs to look like! We society I am pre-op testing and large and in charge!! My husabnd worships my body and loves me im happy but not healthy THATS why i chose to be a loser, a loser of excess weight that neither defines me nor gives me any limitations to what I can do! Dont ever let them tell you different! as my quote says below..Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself! I live this everyday. It took alot for me not be a victim when I was younger didnt have it very well, but now no one can stop me!

Hi all! im pre-op testing at the moment still, But was looking for some local bandsters to chat with! I am in Mt Helix area, i see some are real close to me thats awesome! anyways im needed now to find a cardiologist to do my stress test i guess but idk how thats gonna work since i have patello femoral syndrome so bad in both knees there is no way they are putting my booty on a treadmill, also with the asthma idk. I have BCBS of MA through my husbands work and i guess they ar supposed to be great for the bariatric surgery at least thats what the center told me. at any rate looking for friends and support, they say im looking at getting banded in January so Hopefuly! Talk to you guys soon!!

Im an east County Pre-op! glad to see more of us!

Im glad you asked cause this is a major issue for me and and the hubby I have wanted a breast reduction since i was 18 to no avail I now have size -drum roll- G! yes thats right I said it the girls are a heavy-to-lift-stand-and-walk-around-G! No dont get me wrong Im a boob girl Ilike boobs i like big boobs not giant boobs but i like big boobs. But I as well am worried about the sensitivity issue after i lose the weight, my hubby and I enjoy them as well. I look forward to reading more replies in here!
