I also got the midband... not too sure what the difference is though

Robgoblin you haven't checked i n yet... hope all went well

also banded on may 4th... overal i feel ok, I feel like I have someone sitting on my chest. No real pain but i find it sore to sit up straight

I'm so sleepy today. other then that not feeling too much pain.

Oh yeah I forgot one more thing. I wont be able to get online tomorrow so I wanted to thank all of you for reading my rants and answering my questions. It's meant the world to me. for everyone who will be banded on May 4th all the best and as the saying goes "I'll see you on the banded side" Jannet

Yoda, your right... I know your right. I guess I just assumed that the weight loss would go hand in hand with srinking my liver. I don't plan on stepping on a scale for at least another 5 weeks.

So I'm really pissed off! :angry I've been on the pre-op diet for 2 weeks and I got on the scale today, I only lost 10 lbs! I've been really good and stuck to the yogurt and nothing else. I don't know may It's because I started my period and I'm holding onto water. But I'm PISSED! Does anyone know what the average weight loss is during the pre-op?:target:

May Banster wooooooooohooooo May 4th is my surgery date in Toronto at the TLBC

you can do it o nly a few days left. I know how you feel Robgoblin, I cracked once ok maybe twice but I had the chicken breast. Not that its any better LOL. All we have to do it make it to Thursday night and we're home free. Jannet

awwwwwww Donna your so sweet... hows everything going with the band?

Kimberley I can't comment on how to pay for the surgery as I was saving to buy a car and instead paid for the surgery with the money I had saved. But.... I still haven't told my boyfriend that I'm getting the band. My family knows and they support me 100%, I'm just not ready to share that with my b/f. I persoanly don't think he would understand as he feels that weight loss is something that everyone can manage on their own without any challanges (pffffffffffft). I'm sure one day I'll let him know but right now I'm not comfortable with it. However, if I were married I would have to tell my husband and I would suggest you talk to him and find out what his thoughts are before he finds out on his own. Jannet

All the May 4th bandsters we have 5 days left (happy dance) :clap2:

Doddie, 6 days and counting... I can't wait. Soon I'll be on the banded side. I wonder what I'll look like in a year and how much more better I'll feel over all. Do we have a canadian before and after pic thread?

today was a bad day for me. My head was hurting and i couldn't even get the yogurt to pass my lips. On the bright side, I have driving lessons on Monday 6 more days Jannet

I had a day from hell today... I can't even look at CC let alone put it in my mouth. blahhhhhhhhhh so I stuck to the yogurt, my head was pounding and i felt hungry. I tried to eat yogurt for lunch but it just wasn't going to happen for me. I left work early and came home and had a hot cup of tea and a bubble bath. I only have to make it till Thursday and it's well worth the minor strugle. Jannet

Amber congrats wooohoo for you. I really wouldn't know where to stay in Mississauga but I'm sure somone on the site will point you in the right direction. Jannet

mmmmmmmmmmmmm salty

Susan I know how you feel, Ive been on the pre-op diet since monday and I keep telling myself I only have to go another 7 days.

Doddie, thats great news that you found a fill doctor in BC, have you had a chance to call him/her to find out if they will do it for you?

Donna D I'm sure everything went well today. I wish I was in your place right now... i hate that I have to still wait a week LOL Jannet

Doddie, How did the fill go, do you feel the restriction yet? It was great chatting with you and thanks for sharing your stories

Robgoblin, you didn't miss much today. It was a repeat of everything they told me during the consult. They did show us around the sergical rooms and the recovering area which was nice to see. I'm so excited now that my day is getting closer but my head hurts pretty bad today for not eating much. J

so this pre-op diest sucks ASS! I couldn't help it I had some egg whites today... I was so hungry.

It will be nice to but face to the name... can't wait to meet both of you. I'll be the chubby girl with glasses on LOL

I'll let you know if you miss any good stuff
