August 15th for me!!!! I cannot wait!!!!

Don't forget about our little group, let's try to get more members! We're up to 22!

I'm banded!!! A little sore but overall I'm doing just fine

Best wishes on your recovery and Congratulations. I pre-register at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on Aug 3 and my band date is Aug 6. I've lost 31 pounds getting ready for this day and hope to lose 2-3 pounds by weigh-in on Aug 3.
Keep us posted on your recovery.

Sorry I accidentally hit the send buttom.
I had surgery 5 wks ago and love my fitness pal program. I downloaded it to my phone and IPad and I have learned what to eat and to stay within my calories. I log my meals and exercise and it has been a real eye opener.
What saved me in the early stages was having the sugar free pudding, Jello and popsicles on hand. If you're hungry have another Protein drink. I was starving and was mad as well when others were eating. My husband eats everything and has never had a wt problem! My doctor told me to have an extra Protein shake if I am hungry. Once you add food you hunger gets better, but this stage requires more preparing. I think I finally have it done after 5 weeks.
Hang in there wearing clothing I haven't worn in years is way better than any food I have put in my mouth!
Get up each day determined to make this work. You will have a better quality of life and you are teaching your children how to have a healthy lifestyle.
Good luck

Hi again! Back now from my surgery, and finally able to get a moment. So far I am doing better than I thought I would. I'm usually a big pain sissy, but I've been happy so far with how not "worst case senario" I am. My wife and kids are impressed as well. I'm quite happy with the whole procedure (which I had done in Las Vegas with Dr. Atkinson and Desert Springs Hospital). I've never had any kind of surgury before so going in on the cart and looking up at the lights was being on a TV hospital show.kinda weird.
I was out and walking only a few hours after that, and have been doing a lot of house pacing as my body allows. I've also started doing laps up and down the cul-de-sac we live in with other family members. I've had the surgery, but we've all commited to get healthier from this point on.
I've just never noticed how many ads on TV are food related, and just how big food is everyday. My family feels guilty for eating around me, to which I raise my chicken broth and tell them to enjoy.
According to the scale I've already lost weight, but I'm sure it's just Water weight, and as soon as I can be back on a semi-normal hydration schedule.
Thanks again to all, and I hope to continue to share my journey with you all.
