  2. Hello, so far I am doing good. I went to the support group last night. Small turn out but that's okay. I am going to take adviantage off all the tools. I didn't know I could be hving Protein drinks again. YAY that should help with hunger. I am down 11 lbs in 1 week, was getting hungry but shakes should help. I am able to sleep on tummy again, that was quick. I hope know youra ia in 1 week. I am excited for you. So glad we are on the journey together.
  3. I have used the gas x strips says to use 2-4 at a time and I have had success. My surgery was 9/1 , and as far as the walking... it really does get the gas moving and out. I was just walking around in circles in the house but yesterday I ventured to the mailbox (1/2 block away) and I swear I was a tooting mess for a 1/2 hour. I am amazed as I watch TV how many food commercials are on the TV. I find the jello, popsicles and borth do fill me though. I don't worry about how many popsicles I just have them until the growling subsides. I am down 11 lbs so for since Thurdsay. Planning on a double walk to the mailbox now. I hope you feel relief soon, and yes YOU ARE WORTH IT!
  4. We have the same date,one week from today. Exited and nervous at the sane time.

  6. Hello Cara though we are not in the same state are dates are farly close. I get me band on September 1st. I would love to have a cheerleader and be a support buddy to you. I hope you are getting around and feeling better day by day. So excited for the both of us. I am a single man of a grown 29 year old and no real support so hope you'll be in touch.
  7. I see you have your surgery tomorrow. I am so excited for you. Got you in prayers and look forward to hearing from you .
  8. Hello, Justine! Hope you are doing well. Please keep us posted on how you are feeling and what works and what doesn't work for you. I like knowing you have a band date close to mine. I get mine on September 1. Good luck friend. Here's to our journey...CHEERS!
  9. Had my EGD today and had an opportunity to see where I will be getting my band. I am looking foward to starting my journey.
  10. I will be banded on September 1st so looking for support and someone to share the journey with. I have not been told anything about the pro op diet. I actually have my pre op day on August 30 and get banded on September 1st. I hope they let know me know anything I need to be doing soon. My BMI is 32 so I am opting to pay for my surgery with a combination insurance because of the hietal hernia. Congratulations to us on choosing to make a life sytle change. Look forward to your suppor t.
