I hope your pre-op testing went well. My husband wanted me to write to my twin and tell her she will be more like a big sister. I am not getting bended on May 29th anymore. Last night my jaw swelled up and I went to the dentist today. He said where my root canal was done 10 years ago, there is a piece of tooth down in my jaw that wasn't extracted and for some reason it is infected. I had to go on antibiotics and can't get cleared until the 28th at the earliest. The doctor's office said that they had to reschedule, because that isn't enough time in case I couldn't get cleared. So I am a ship with out a port. (haha port get it...trying to keep myself sane) I have no idea when they'll reschedule me. They had to book me 10 weeks out the first time, because he was so busy. I am going off the pre-op diet and doing low-fat. I can't lose 8 more lbs though or I'll be below the BMI of 35. Isn't this fun! Have a great re-birth my beautiful, soon to be tiny friend! )

You are so blessed. I have waited 6 months so far. I understand Flouro now thank you. Did it hurt when your band slipped? How long ago?

Hi,

How did it go?

Hope you are well. check in if you get back on.

Way to go little one!

I am stuck. Down about 49 and happy with it, but would love 103. lol I am so proud of all of your accomplishments. Is your new beau someone that knew the old you? Don't work too hard. Our second child is doing the exact same thing as you, 2 jobs, school, man, and we just moved. I hope neither of you ever regret doing that. Don't burn the candle at both ends as they say. I am glad you are back, even if just for a fleeting moment. Take care-Donita

I start mine on the 16th!!! Are trying hard to be good now? Exercising? I am on a mission of 18 (3 mi. per day, except Sundays) miles per week until surgery. I will have 120 miles. I started on my daughters 19th birthday. We had the tornados yesterday, so I am behind. I will have to double up some time soon. Have a great night.

Hey Girl,

I am just checking in. I haven't lost a thing. How about you? Enjoying the new house. 99 percent settled...you? Talk to you soon. -Donita

Hi there,

Just checking in. Are you tall and skinny yet? lol I am stuck. I haven't lost in 2 weeks. I am down 43 lbs, which I am happy with every one, but I'd like more. Keep me posted.-Donita

How was it? Are you even home yet? I pray you did well. I am not going to have it at all. I have to have surgery on my jaw before they will release me and then 2-3 weeks recovery. Then I would get put on the schedule for 8-10 weeks out again. It sure isn't worth it. You take great care of yourself. I might come on every now and then to check your progress. -Donita

How is your back by the way?

I have an infection in my jaw, so I am not sure when I will get banded. June sometime I guess. You keep up the good work of delegating you job!!! ) How much are you down now?

Girl, I miss talking to you. How are you? Please let me know how you are. Were you ever able to get approved? Take Care.

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

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

Great new Lucy. Are you able to exercise at all? I have 5 weeks till surgery and have told myself I will walk 3 miles per day (except Sundays) until surgery. I have done that so far. Like you said it is something you just have to do. Speedy recovery.-Donita

Miss you too. I am so proud of you only gaining one pound over the holidays. I went up 11 and now back down to only being up 7. I am so bad at this. I work too much to feel like exercising and am too lazy to make myself do it anyway. I am excited for your your son. That is wonderful. Our middle one graduates from high school this year and we are going to go home for her party. It will have been one year since going home and since my surgery. That should be enough to inspire me, but it just hasn't. Keep me posted on your great progress. I really am proud of you!!!

No one will tell me yet. They said they will tell me when I have to start it. Right now I am just doing lowfat and have cut out pop. I hadn't had one for 6 weeks until last night. It was too carbonated for me. I am so glad you got your fill. I think it will fill like a new start or rejuvination. Put baby girl in a stroller and walk your way thin!!!

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.

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. )

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?

Hi,

How are you girls doing?

I am excited to get a WII Fit. They are sold out around here. Twenty lbs is so awesome. I love the fact that you are measuring instead, That is such a better indicator. I love the holiday idea. The other date was on one too...MEMORIAL DAY (remembering the dead!!!) I guess this one will be much more FUN! I have been applying everywhere to try to line up a job for after surgery. I have put my life on hold because I kept telling myself I didn't want to start a new job and then try to get time off for surgery. We are going to Michigan the day I have my one week check up. They said just to stand up and walk every hour. It is already a 12-13 hour trip without stopping except for gas and traffic. I hope you keep up the great work. Do you have a support system within your family and friends? Take care-Donita

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

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
