  1. Rachel, I think I posted to you on OH. My name is Heidi, and Dr. Bour did my surgery. Anyway, I am glad to see you over here researching the band. It is fabulous!
  2. Thank you for your reply! I am glad to know what that is, and I hope that I do not experience it any time soon!
  3. Okay, I have seen this term used over and over and over, but I don't know exactly what it is. Feeling rather stupid, but, what does it stand for, literally, and I get that it feels awful, but what is it? :confused: :help:

  5. For me, I have a lot of weird goals. My first goal is to be a size 20 before June 18th. My husband's work is having their annual banquet that day, and I refuse to buy anything new to wear to it, which means I have to be a 20 to get into something old. To do that, I think I will need to lose another 15-20 pounds - around 225-230. I hope I can do that. Other goals: 217 pounds - My prepregnancy weight for my daughter 199 - Duh, I think we all know why I want this one 176 - My prepregnancy weight for my son 150-160 - Goal. I would like to hit this mark before my 30th birthday. One year away. I would like to be 217 by my 10th wedding anniversary on August 17th. I would like to be in a size 16 by Christmas. 262/257/245/160
  6. Hi, I am new to this thread! I hate Protein powder! It is making me horrifically sick. I stopped using it, and I feel much better, but I am worried about my overall protein intake. I am eating cottage cheese, yogurt, cream soup, and skim milk. Please, oh please, let it get better and let this work for me!
  7. I'm Heidi - remember me? I had my UGI done on Thursday, and I have mild reflux. I don't know if the hiatal hernia will prevent you from being banded. I hope not. Let me know how it is going for you. I have my first Opti-fast class tonight, and my official surgery date is April 24th. It looks like we are going to have really close dates! So, every Tuesday I have to go in for Opti-fast. Do you have a date for starting Opti-fast? I am glad that I have someone close who is kind of going through this with me at the same time. I didn't go to the pre-surgery group last night because I am driving up there today. Two days in a row is really tough. I'm still trying to figure out schedules with my kids. Did you go to the meeting last night?
