I am sending you best wishes & that you heal quickly and have an easy time of it all! Please report back to us so we can hear how you make out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be persistent, if you need this paperwork. I wish you the best!

I have to tell you that I love that expression on your face I am sorry your in pain though! Glad to hear it all went ok!

Oh you have to eat sensible and try to eat healthy. Believe me if I can do it anyone can. I am not even banded yet and started my health kick a month ago just so I would be prepared. I know its hard, but think of the skinny aspect of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sleep study isn't that bad, its just the wires your hooked up to. Makes it hard to roll over!

Johns-honey, The mango green tea is delish too! I will have to try the Margarhita one!

Thanks ladies, that is good to know. I also like iced tea with lemon that I brew myself, so that would count as water too. Tamg, I will have to buy some College Inn broth, I have seen it at the store, thank you! I happen to like the protein shakes, I maybe the only one that like them. I add cinamon to spruce it up a bit, ice & put it in the blender.

This maybe a stupid question but lately I am really loving the Crystal Light flavors. I hate to drink alot of water. Would drinking the Crystal Light count as your water?

Well I only use a 1/2 of banana...I will ask my dr. But thanks for the reply!

I passed his eval, thats all I care about! I know my gender too

Thanks for the booze info. I have a family renunion to attend on Sat., that happens to be the first day of my liquid diet I guess I will pass on the alchohol too! Its not a big deal to me, but I am glad I read this, thanx

I have never heard of Metformin for weight loss. I am on it and have been for years for type 2 Diabetes. I need Lap Band surgery lol So the Metformin didn't help me lose weight. Makes your bowels work good though hahaha... Whats the harm, take it, it will help your blood sugar. Once you loose your weight you probably won't need it at all!

Yelorz I would ask your lap band dr. that question too. See what he says.

Donna, I see no problem of telling people what your bill was for the psych. eval. Your in no way offending me. You either pay the bill or you don;t. Most people pay if they want this lap band surgery bad enough,

I will ask about the bananas, thanks!

Guess what I had to pay for the report? $175.00 and t psych. wanted in a check right then at the end of this visit! I was told before hand this was the deal! Ya gotta go with the flow...

I am getting excited to start my 10 day re op diet. I must be odd to be so excited about starving! Its just that I feel I get closer to my surgery day and closer to fitting into that bathing suit without wearing a beach cover up! I am looking forward to a healthy, thin body so much! Thinks postive!

My pre op diet starts for me on Sat. May 12. I have been having a protein shake on my own now for breakfast just to get used to them & I like them! Been doing it for a week. I think the shake fills me until lunch pretty well. I put 1%milk, ice cubes, a sprinkle of cinamon, adds a nice flavor! I sometimes add 1/2 banana for extra flavor!

Donna, I took that ridiculous test too! I am pretty sure just about everyone with common sense passes it. It does ask if you ever tried to commit suicide like times in different questions. I found that a little shocking. But whatever! Its easy, I was not terrified at the meeting with him, he was odd like most of them You will do fine!

To try I bought Trader Joe's protein chocolate shake mix, its not too bad. I did order the UnJURY shakes, they are so much tastier.

Jenny, I am 5'2 and currently 190. I will be banded May 22. My goal is 120! You look fantastic. Luckily my insurance is paying for this because I have high blood pressure, diabetes and sleep apnea. I have lost 8 lbs. since I made this decision to do this. Honestly I feel alot better with 8 lbs. gone. I can only imagine how good I am going to feel & look with more gone off this bod!! I think its very exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to you girlfriend!

I think probably the more you move the more the gas will come out. I had 2 c- sections and a hysteretomy, moving is the key to getting out gas. Good luck!

CT mom, I am under 200. I am yur height too. You sound so promising, thank you for that! You must be so proud of yourself!!

Theyv don't keep you overnite?

Good luck Marie! May you wake up feeling well and your able to start your new journey to that new bikini!
