brokenwings

No not on them yet. I was told that if i get them very very cold and put them in a container i cant smell they are good.. I sure hope so.. lol I did buy some sugar free yougut as i was told i could have some of it. And i bought enough popsicles for a whole school... I am going to eat them and eat them and eat them... lol

I have to do one week. I start wenesday and i have my surgery the following Wenesday. I am ready to go. lol now in a few days i may be on here yelling how i cant drink one more cup of soup broth but for now i am ready.

Hey Charda I guess i should be scared but i am not really. I am more scared something will come up to stop my band or more scared I will be stuck living in this body the rest of my life. WHen i climb staris i have started promising my Knees to just withstand the pain a few more weeks and that they will get relief. I dont want to die of heart diease or DM. I am more scared of whats going to happen to me if i dont Get the band then if i get it.

HI everyone I been looking and looking and we have so many members but yet no posts.Nothing to be scared of here, I swear i have not bitten anyone this week.. ok least not since tuesday. I would love to see us communicating more. Getting to know each other. We are each others support so lets see if we can get everyone to jump on board. Make a topix, or post on some of the ones made. Lets get active!!!!! Give me something to read when i am off work the next week sitting home drinking LIQUIDS!!. yea you all need to keep me busy...

Ok Sue now take a deep deep breath. You learned that the chicken strip at this time is a NO NO. And you feel discouraged but think your not having fills yet and you have lost 25lbs adn i know some of that was before surgery. The heartburn will improve with time. In a year you will be looking back and thinking how happy you are that you did the lapband. We all have pitfalls and we all have down days. But this is going to work for you just keep telling yourself that. I know i am not one to talk since i have not had my band yet but when i do and i have these feelings ( i think everyone does ) then you can repeat what i have said to you and tell me how good its going to be when we are all skinny and healthy.. So smile and keep pushing forward you have to blaze a path for all of us following you.

Glad i saw this i knew there was something i wanted to get i had not yet. I start my preop diet wensday and i have been meaning to buy some biotin. I did get centrum chewable vitimins, Yea i am not quiet 50 yet but figured i was closer to that then the kids for flintstones lol,

I would check out surgeons you think you may want to use. THen i would call and find out if they have a seminar coming up you could attend.

I start my week of liquids wen. I have bought my protien shakes and I can have some juice, I also got tons of sugar free popsicles as well as sugar free jello. I also bought a ton of low sodium progresso soups so i can drain the broth of them. I am ready to tackle this.

HI everyone. I sure hope everyone in our group is having a great day!. I am on pins and needles today. I am 2 days out from starting my preop diet. Went to the store last night and 180.00 later walked out with everything i could need including my vitamins and stuff. I am ready to get moving but also a bit nervous bout it. It helps so much to come on here and touch base with all you guys.

Way to go Mike. Sure makes us who are getting close to our surgery date feel more at ease. My surgeon does not even give pain meds for home. So got some liquid tylnol but sure hoping like you i dont need it.

My surgeon does not even prescribe pain meds. I have a very high tolerance for pain. When i had my hys i had 20 staples and i only took a couple of pain pills did not even finish the bottle same with my fx shoulder last yr. . Going to stock up on tylnol liquid.

Wow now thats what i call a Victory. I mean a life long fight with DM that causes so much other damages to be gone!!! It lowers your risks of so many things... I am way excited for you.

HI all. Yet again been so busy no time to be online. I am bout to get time off work though. Yesterday was my preop visit. Found a new insight to ppl i give PO contrast to for CTs. YUCK... I hated that it made me ill the min i drunk it. In that they found out i have a small Hiatia hernia (was told np the dr will fix it when he does my band) Also they took my bp after the uper gi and found it was high So now i gotta go see my family dr to get medical cleared (this is not a problem) I plan on doing that tue morning, she is a friend of mine so i know it wont be a problem. Other then that i am ready to go. I did get one nice surprise I asked since i drive 2 1/2 hours to see my surgeon if anyway i could do my pre surgery visit by phone and he agreed. So i talk to him wen then the next wen May 2, at 830 am is my Time i get to start a new chapter of my life. Yayyyyy I am excited.

Totally understand the cold feet. I have not started on my preop diet yet. lucky i just have to do one week of it. I start wen. Yes i am even though in the healthfield is a bit scared but I also know that i have tried everything and nothing has worked for me This is my chance to get ME back. I am as excited as i am scared. Everyone has to make their own decision but think of this as like a pregnancy everyone dont have the same results and everyone has a horror story of so and so etc... but yet it dont stop us from taking the chance to have a child. This is to me like that.

Vacation is over and i had a BLAST. But the house i rented was great except no internet. Not that i really missed it as i was to busy to be on much. We ran from daylight to Dark. I did 7 amusement parks as well as the beach WOw talk bout sore. But i rode every ride I wanted to but 2. One i wouldnt fit in the seat the other the line was way to long and i was way to tired to stand in another line. I had great family time and enjoyed everything. Figured i would have lost a ton of weight. I didnt eat alot and walked my buns off but hmmm didnt lose much. Oh well This thur is my preop then next wen is my dr appt then May 2 wow just 2 1/2 weeks is my surgery. I am so far behind on what has been happening here on the board. I only have 65 notifications to try to read... LOL

Ty Judy. I am ready for a nice vacation and i am ready to come back and get the lapband placed so my journy to thinness can began.

Sabrina I hope your enjoying your vacation here I am from kentucky as well. I know how hard it is to wait. Even after they called me last week to tell me i was approved i went nuts before the letter was in my hands. Seem to take forever even though it was just a little over a week. Good luck and try to enjoy your visit. Its the weekend so even if the letter is at your house nothing you can do till monday with it

I am heading on vacation Sunday. Going to disney and unversal with my family I have promised myself this is my Last FAT vacation. I am going to make this work and i am going to enjoy life. The only thing i am worried bout this vacation and even told a friend of mine was that i am to fat to get on the rides. The embarassment of being to fat to get on a ride. Just worrisome to me.

Not a rant at all. Its disappointing for us all to hit roadblocks. SOunds like having to change drs though i sa good thing for you cause sounds like the last one you had was not going to be a good dr to have on your team long run. So lets look at it as a good thing As for may hey its going to be a GOOD Month
