BAMA (((love and support headed your way))) thinking of you

when visiting my nutritionist and the surgeon, they stressed the importance of vitamins to me. so i have been taking them (multi is chewable) the iron/b12 are tiny but after surgery, hub or me will either smash them or cut into tiny tiny pieces. just do what your doctor say to do is all i can offer.

on day 7 of my liver diet.....not hungry...seems strange that i am not (ravenous). here i thought i would be and slobber dripping from my mouth. but not the case. the first 2 days was hard on me. (i think doing a 2 shake/day and 1 meal) helped get me use to (not eating) and drinking my food. so far so good. all the best to everyone

you will do great. let us know how it goes. (details) as i am not far behind you. all the best

that is fantastic

i hope this can be me one day. excellent job everyone. def inspiring to this soon to be bander

i agree with hed and jean and elcee. i will just do what my dr suggests as well as my nutritionist. and do what works for me

june 6 for me.........just picture that date. i told hub it was my birthday. the new me.

hi chamie.......its mind over matter......day 3 and i knew i could do this......so can YOU....me and shr are here for you if you need us. (read my blog, i tell you how i am handling it)

no, thank you bama and kah.......i came to this site looking for support, and i found it and then some. i appreciate all you say........good and bad. bring it on. we can/will get through this together

because if i dont, i will get bigger and bigger and bigger

my knees hurt so bad but i am hoping with me losing weight, i can begin to walk more and more..

june 6th. seems like its right around the corner. i sure hope this liquid diet is making my liver shrink. do you think its working? i will be so pissed if thet cant do the band bc of my liver........so far--no cheating and i am so proud.

laura, my mom has called me that and worse........i understand what you are going through. food will pacify you but eating junk food will only comfort you for that moment. then you will fill bad. please dont do that. i am sorry there are people in this world who are so hateful and cruel. since she cant say i am sorry, let me say that i am sorry. your gorgeous inside and out. now, then, forever. rise above ignorant people.

agree with you. you are this close........i am so excited. make sure i get all the detail, good and bad, regardless. i will be right there with you. i am walking alittle better.......dont know if i lost anything since i havent weighted since my final surgeon visit........i got my hospital pre op on wed, 30th

fl, i cant wait to have tomato soup and grits.......and bama right, def tired of sweet. why the broth is a comfort. hope you are well.

agree w/my girl bama, overnight goes quickly and i wake up feeling good. def think my body has detoxed from junk food and diet soda and beer and i feel (better)

hi snap....... i am on day 5 on my liquid diet. chicken soup drained and mixed with broth (and very hot) feels me up. perfect for thermos. also, protein shakes.......when i get hungry, i drink a shake..popsicles (no sugar) and jello all you can eat......same with broth. crystal light has some awesomw new drinks and keep you full when you get the munchies too.. hang in there

hi shr........you and i are in the same frame of mind. i am mere days away and ready........bring it on if you will. also like you, am concerned that my period will show during surgery as well........yikes......my cramps are the worst also...am also on liquids and doing well,,,.def a mental game right now and a want to attitude. hang in there and know we are to close to starting our new lives.

day 5 of my liquid diet........so good so far...........when i an hungry, i drink my Protein. not to mention my popsicles and chicken broth. still not a fan of Jello but have eaten two or three. like kah, i do find myself going to bed earlier also. surprised i am doing this well bit it sure helps having people out there and on this forum going through what i am and knowing that i am not alone. def feel doing that semi liquid diet has helped me do as well as i have at this all liquid. must say a big thank you to my ole man for eating in the other room during meal times. thats very nice and thoughtful. :wub:

i wanted to take a moment and say thanks to everyone on here. you guys/gals are so kind and helpful to me and i am very blessed to have found this website/forum. there is another forum and the nasty posts and negative thoughts about banding is unreal. ms j told me to stay off of there and she is/was right. being nervous when i started here in feb, everyone made me and other new pre banders welcome. great advice and support and experiences is incredible. wanted to thank everyone on here. have a great and wonderful rest of the weekend holiday.

hi banded , that decision is yours to make. i am proud of you wanting to get healthy. that is what i want also. stay positive. your pic is so pretty

eli, i am sorry you are so sad. can you please go back to the basics? how about going for a fill or at least call your doctor? please do not give up. look how far you have come???

hang in there baby. i am thinking of you.
