Alright..If We are sharing fun pics..Heres one of me..and my soon to be exercise buddy. my sister is the red head..and before ya'll ask, my hair does that naturally UGH! My soon exercise buddy... Petri Dish Delight..shes a bull terrier, two weeks old. I cant wait to get her..a bull terrier..thats a Spuds McKenzie incase you didnt know :clap2: cute isnt she?

You are doing this because it is about time you faced yourself and did something for yourself, so that you will no longer be held down by your weight. You are putting yourself through the pain of recovery and the pain of a liquid diet because it will make you a stronger person and a better one... AND most of all...you are doing this so you can wear a bathingsuit without teh stupid skirt around the hips or teh coverup shirt etc..YOU ARE DOING THIS TO LOSE WEIGHT Way to go, and as nerves set in, just think of how much you can lose..look at me, I havent been banded a week and Ive lost 6 lbs already!! CONGRATS:clap2:

It helped me the most with biking was taking my mind off of it. No matter how much gel is in the butt..its still gonna hurt. I bought a radio to go on my handlebars..i didnt want to wear headphones bc then you cant hear someone shouting out warnings etc. i also got an attachment for my bike that lets my dog run beside me...totally helps

I wasnt really fond of them, but if youre on a liq diet, and need protein..I tried the strawberry kiwi one and it had a weird aftertaste

I only told my best friends and my close family, because I've been judged enough throughout my life... Last year, my sister had a portion of her small intestine taken out, her appendix and her gall bladder. It was all done laproscopically. (They thought she had Crone's disease, which she doesnt, and at first they thought they were just taking out her appendix, but..)She was put on a full liq diet for awhile, and even now can't eat fatty foods. SO I told everyone that that was what I had done, and when they kept asking me about my liq diet I told them that b/c my system was so swollen, I couldnt handle anything else. That way, everyone knows I had surgery and what not,so it wont be weird if I was sore (which I am) but they dont know what i had done I am usually honest with people, but for people who havent been overweight for so long and who havent had this done, they have no idea that its not an easy way out.

I see my doctor again on Friday. My doctor is not a fan of protein shakes..ugh if I have to look at any more chicken broth...:faint:

Just banded last Thursday in houston. I hate driving down there to go to the doctor, my teacher at this point thinks I am terminally ill! Ugh Plus I hate this liq stage:cool:

Alright I guess I will just introduce myself. My name's Tiffaney. I am 21, in college, studying zoology and biochemistry. I live by myself, with my dog, two cats, a tortoise and a snake. I love animals, if you can't tell, I've always depended on them not to let me down, like so many people have. I had my surgery on 2-8-07. hmmm...what else.My doctor was supposed to set me up with a dietician (sp?) but hasnt done that so far, so Im kinda on my own here. I am currently on the whole clear liquid diet thing, but I am feeling so weak...any suggestions? O and to help make sure that I will get off my butt and exercise, I am getting a puppy, a bull terrier, the target dogs..they are very high energy and HAVE to be walked everyday or else they will destroy your house. I need that kind of ultimatium Anyways..so thats me:clap2:
