  1. I did not have to do a pre-op diet so I am not sure what you eat on one. Some doctors do it and some do not.Your doctor should have told you what you can have. Congrats on your surgery date. Donna
  2. Wow, I guess i better be careful what i say. I did love my doctor and the hospital and Mexico. LOL But i do not talk about it unless someone asks. Donna
  3. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:It is such a great feeling is`nt it!!! Congrats!
  4. I would not want to go back that soon. I took three weeks off and i am so glad i did. I was tired for the whole first week and sore. I wanted time to get used to a new lifestyle. Donna - PS Congrats on your date.
  5. It usually takes a couple of days. Did for me anyway. I was afraid i would not be able to fly home from Mexico, but then it stopped. Donna
  6. I am so sorry for your loss. I also thought this was a standard test. Glad i had it done. Donna
  7. I am so glad to know i am not the only one. I thought i was crazy. I am cold all the time, except at the gym. Donna
  8. :ranger:Hi to both of you and welcome to the site! Donna:p:rain::gluck:
  9. Have you tried a heating pad? That is all i can think of. Donna
  10. I think the hardest part of this whole deal is learning to eat only when you are hungry. I too find myself wandering in the kitchen , looking for food i do not need. Sometimes i resist, sometimes not. At least i no longer keep junk food around. Donna:hungry::hungry::hungry::hungry::hungry::hungry::hungry:
  11. Right now i wish i could eat a little more. I have 2.5ccs in a 4cc band and i am really tight. I eat a lot of soup right now. Donna
  12. Sorry you are feeling bad, it should pass soon. Congrats on your band - Donna
  13. Welcome to all the new folks!!!:hand::hug::girl_hug::Banane14:Donna

    Congrats on your date and try not to worry. Welcome to the site. Donna
  15. I find Islam to be a very scary religion. So very repressive for women. I find all organized religion scary as far as that goes. Donna
  16. Hi! I am 54 and very happy with my band. I did not need one when I was younger. I did not start really gaining until about five years ago. Glad i did this, it has given me back my health. Donna
  17. Call a doctor and get some help. Donna
  18. I love going to the gym. It is my refuge. I always feel great when I am done. Donna

    No, I never referred to myself that way, though I was fat. Donna
  20. :clap2::clap2::clap2:Way to go !!!You are doing great. I am close, can`t wait. Donna
  21. If you do not want the surgery i don`t know how well it would work for you. Has you weight become a health issue for you? Have you told your doctor how you feel? Maybe you should talk to him or to another doctor. Donna
  22. Glad you are doing better. Donna
  23. Have you let your doctor know? I have never heard of this. Something sounds wrong here. Donna
