Congrats on the pregnancy! When are you due?

That's right! Lol I'm a month behind you! Some reason I can't look at people profiles using my not so smart phone

Is that what they are calling PB's? I don't know all the banding terms yet

Nifty are you pre or post op?

We definitely have to find a time and place to meet up!

We should definitely try and meet somewhere! I live by the 101 and 7th Street but work in Tempe by Az Mills so I can/will go wherever! I have Mondays and Tuesdays off

That's the best thing to do and what I have done! I bought some sample packs today from Sprouts to see how I like them a-posed to the premier Protein I have been drinking (they are yummy)

I'm in Phx! And I will be going through True Results for surgery in September! I don't know who the surgeon is yet. I would love to meet up and swap "war" stories sometime! I am at the 101 and 7th st but work in Tempe.

Yay! How exciting to finally be on this journey!

What are the bigger sizes you have?

That is so awesome! I want summer to rush by as fast as it did when I was a kid an so far it has! My surgery is penciled for Sept 27th BUT I am hoping I can move it up a week (fingers crossed!) I go for my last Ins require appt on Aug 19 the. The paperwork goes to the Ins for approval! Eeek!

Good luck and please keep us all posted!

That is so awesome! Congrats!

Yay to all us September bansters! Anyone else in Arizona?

How are you doing so far?

A local support coffee group would be awesome!

I have bought both powder and pre mix premier Protein they come in vanilla and chocolate from Walmart and SAMs club (get more for the money) I like the pre mixed I could never Seem to get the powder all the way dissolved My nutritionalist wants me to start a 10 day pre op diet before I go for my last Ins required weigh in on the 19th of Aug so Friday I will be starting it. I'm scheduled for Surgery Sept 27th and will have a 3wk pre op diet of two shakes and a healthy meal (Atkins frozen meals).

When I'm driving to work every morning I see all these people out running and I want to be one of "those" people! I can't wait

Welcome! I am in the same boat as you! I am pre banded, but hope to be banded by the end of Sept. I have only told a select few( aunt and kids) as I don't want or need the negativity the others would bring! Glad to meet you! Please keep us posted on your journey Heather

Well for what ever reason I can't add unless its from an email or FB so I am Hhotz79 on there if you would like to add me! And anyone else! The more the merrier

Any reply is always welcome! Good to know! I have been getting the iced coffee with skim milk and Splenda. I am trying to make better choices

I'm glad your husband is home and can be there for the surgery! How long is your pre op diet? I'm doing good even took the kids thru a drive thru and drank my hake while they had the most tummy smelling hamburgers lol I am ending my night with 850cal total for the day! I do have a headache, but I always have some type of headache due to having pseudotumor cerebri and its down to the last few days of the kids being home so any one of those three could be the culprit! Tomorrow will be another test as work will be providing cake for a coworkers birthday ill just have to say no! Question since you have seen your dr. Can you have iced coffee on the liquid diet? I'm sure it's a no but a girl has to ask lol

So far so good I think! I have had one protein shake and one Atkins bar and lots of water
