You made it through! Good job!

Awesome....that is incredible!

My last appt is today too...I meet the surgeon as well. Im worried because I have a sore throat he will call off the whole thing. Im losing my voice and everything...We will see. Im excited for this visit though...have fun today!!

Some people go to Mexico...would that be an option for you? I dont know if they have the same standards but I think you are going to run into that problem quite a bit Im guessing. Good luck!

They wont do it because your bmi isnt over 35? Is that why?

Oatmeal is on my list for mushies...I would blend up the oats like mentioned above and thin it out with milk. That will be my plan anyway.

I went there once but could figure out how to join. Maybe I need to be on my computer and not my phone? Glad your doing okay. I cant wait...they scheduled me today to be in Tempe at 7 on Thursday.

I didnt think about a hold...that would suck. My husband called on Friday but the rep wasnt helpful...he just repeated like a parrot how long it typically takes...3-5 bus. days from processing. We sent it to them last Monday...they started processing on Wednesday, so in theory if we were going to go off the 5 days the guy said at least by tomorrow. Ill definitely have it tomorrow or Wednesday but I need it before Preop appt tomorrow otherwise I guess they wont let me go to my Preop appt and Id have to wait until the next preop (next Tuesday)...I just have everything lined up for it to be this Thursday...including the diet...haha Id have 3 weeks of a preop diet.

Okay...so Im self pay. Some of the money is from our savings but most of the money my husband is taking out of account that is his retirement and he can borrow against at 3% interest (he pays himself all the interest back)...anyway...all around good deal...my husband saint...and he now has secured me for duration of the loan as well ::joking::. Anyway...it is supposed to be direct deposited and as of 5 minutes ago...it is not there. I have to pay True Results by tomorrow at 12:30 with a cashier's check. My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday...just help me by sending your positive thoughts and prayers that it is there at the lastest tomorrow morning. I still have to go to the bank. Ugh my tummy hurts. Do you know how many times Im going to check our account today? A million times.

Im doing good. I havent yet weighed this morning (have my 9 month old sleeping on me right now) but Ive lost 12 lbs. They had me start it Friday, March 30th. I have my preop tomorrow...Tuesday....have you had your preop yet?

Hi ...im in Az. Im getting banded on the 12th. How have you been doing since your surgery?

Im talking more or less talking about when I have a headache keeping it on hand.

Darn...i got a few liquids and 2 chewables. It looks like there is a good variety of gummys so Ill have to get them next time. I need a really good probiotic in a chewable, liquid, or gummy but havent found one yet. Right now (not banded till Thursday) I have an 80 billion probiotic. I love my probiotic and need to do some research for a comparable one. I also didnt find any liquid Tylenol or Ibuprofen...do you take childrens liquid but more of it or something? Or do they just not sell liquid Tylenol or Ibuprofen at Walmart (where I went). Thanks guys for your help.

Oh gosh. Should I call my obgyn? Im on micronor...it just has progesterone not estrogen in it.

I visit him on Tues at Preop...i was thinking gummy would get stuck too. Thank you!

Gummy vitamins? Do they go down okay? My preop appt isnt until Tuesday but surgery is on Thursday so I need to shop for stuff now. Thanks!!

Im on the 12th too...we'll be band buddies.

Oh, Ill be sad if I can no longer have my frosty chocolate Pure Protein shake in the morning. I hope Im one of those that can otherwise Ill do a mug of decaf coffee...don't like a lot of caffeine and I hate hot tea. Plus I live in Az....we like our drinks cold because it gets so hot. It will be 92 today.

I have a digital one as well. I think i got it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond...you put your height in and it tells you your fat % it also saves it for you so the next time you weigh it remembers your weight from before and tells you the difference...it does the math. If you really want to get fancy Tanita ( not sure if I spelled it right) makes the best.
