Psych eval for me was a little "test" on paper. Then a session with the psychiatrist. Since my mom is Bi-Polar, I wasn't sure if they would let me pass. I spoke with her and explained why I am fat. I go all day without eating and I grab anything near me when evening comes. Usually fast food and lots of it, because I am starved. So she made me start eating three meal a day and approved me. i hope you got lots of rest. Talk again soon_ Donita

I have had the shoulder pain since I was young when I am constipated. The best thing I have found is a warm compress on my shoulder and if someone could rub it for me. I hope you do well. How many lbs have you lost. I have lost 9 since starting my pre-op diet.

Hey Hippie,

Are you doing well today?

Hey Moon,

How are you fairing today? I hope you and yours all survived the storms. Just checking in to let you know I walked today. -Donita

OHHHH!!! It is under NEWS/BREAKING WEATHER. Was this without notice? Are you ok? Your family?

What am I missing. It say it is in the 80's and no rain. What is going on?

What am I missing? It just says in the 80's and no rain. So what is going on there?

Since all info is non-gender I have to ask...male or female. So many men are nurses now you never know. lol

You are tooooo funny. I have at this about 6 months and I am still 13 days away from being banded. I have lost 8 lbs doing the pre-op diet. I had my last appoinment today. My husband and I met my surgeon and picked which band I wanted. I picked Lap Band, becasue I wanted my port on my right side. I am 40 yrs. old, 5'5 1/2" and weighed 233 at my start of this journey. I only had a bmi of about 37, but I have Sleep Apnea and high cloesterol. Not to mention the severe back pain. Your class in June will really get you hyped. What kind of insurance are you dealing with. I have Tricare and was approved in less than a week.

Congrats...well how did you do?

Welcome! Why did you sell out? lol Are you already banded? I get mine on the 29th of May. It has been a 6 month journey.

Did you think of a good way to stay accountable?

Hello little sister,

Are you doing a pre-op diet? We are down to 13 days and a few hours. Do you know what time yours is? I am at 7:30 am. I have to arrive at 5:30. I hope this finds you well. -Donita

How is it going? Did you get your date? I am on the pre-op diet...oh yeah!

Hi,

How are you girls doing?

Thank you for the welcome. I am so sorry to hear about your bones. Has the pain stopped yet? The one and only time I ever lost all my weight I started with a broken ankle. I would walk 3 miles per day in my cast. When they took it off I began running. I have great hopes for you. As tiny as you are, aren't you at goal?

Delo,

I am to be banded on May 29th. I am finishing day 2 of the pre-op diet. I hope you are right about the weight loss. I know it won't be for a little while, but I can't wait! Thanks for the encouraging words. I will try to stick to every letter of it. )

Hi there Bama Belle,

Did I see that you were being banded on May 29th. Was that 2008? Just wondering 'cause it is my date. Hope you are well.

Yeah!!! That is wonderful news.

Today is actually day 2. I have to see the nurse today and the doc tomorrow. I get to have a Slim Fast High Fiber 2x's per day, 2 oz of protien, 1 fat free yogurt, 1 piece of fruit and all the sugar free jello and veggies I would like that aren't starches of course. It looks like a lot, but i am struggling with it. I have a terrible headache. I am so glad for you. I believe that we are the same age, so I feel very confident seeing you do so well. You have a great day. Don't celebrate TOO well.lol

I do wish you luck. Have you gained while you were "unfilled"?
