Welcome! Nice to meet you!

Welcome to Band Land!

I'm quitting too! I have quit before (for 5 years) & then like an idiot started back. It was not the easiest thing I ever did, but it was doable. I'm going by the Farmer's Almanac this time. It says that September the 19th is a good day to quit. I wish you lots of luck!! And just know that you are not alone! (((((hugs)))))

Dancing bananas for you! WTG!! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

I'm so happy for you! Will keep you in my prayers & hope you have a speedy recovery!

Welcome! It's nice to meet you! Congrats on getting the approval for financing!

I'm so happy for you! WTG!!

I'm so happy for all of you! I will keep you all in my prayers!

Prayers being said here too! Hope you both have a speedy recovery!!

WTG Corinne! Congrats to you!!

LOL! WTG Angie! That's good!!

Good luck to you! Hope you have a speedy recovery! Keep us posted!

I too think that you should have the gall bladder done first & wait & see. If it were me I would hate to lose my band after losing 140 lbs. If he insists, then I would seek a second opinion. Good luck to you & keep us posted..........Jess

Welcome Catherine! Nice to meet you!

Hi Barb! First of all (((((hugs)))))! Welcome! You could not have come to a better place for support! I will keep you in my prayers! A lot of the surgeons offer payment plans. It might be something for you to look into. I hope things work out for you! Good luck!.....Jess

I think that Alexandra said everything that needs to be said here! So I'm just gonna say welcome! Congrats to everyone on getting their surgery dates! It won't be easy, but I'm sure you will all do great on your pre-op diets! Keep us updated!

Hi & welcome! My doc made me do the sugar free clear liquids before my surgery too. It was not the easiest thing I have ever done, but I made it, & you will too! I had to do it for 2 weeks though. Congrats on your surgery date! Keep us posted!

Made these last night & they are truely wonderful!! A new favorite! Thanks!!

I loved tomato soup & actually still eat a lot of it. The cream soups are also good. If you like avacados & your doc says you can have them, they were what brought me from the edge of boredom with the mushies. LOL! I mashed them up with a little lemon juice & garlic powder!!

I'm so sorry!! I will keep you & your family in my thoughts & prayers!!! (((((hugs)))))

Sorry you couldn't get your fill, but I'm glad your following your docs directions. I'm afraid some people would have gone ahead and done it. Good luck to you!

Thanks! I was afraid I had maybe posted too many. I also have recipes for play dough, silly putty, clay, finger paint, blowing bubbles & soap crayons if anyone with children is interested.

bumpety, bump, bump!

You all are welcome! I love black beans! Thanks! Come on, keep posting recipes everyone!
