globally yours

Hi All just read through this thread and how encouraging to see your lows turn into highs. I started this journey in January, and tomorrow go for my Upper GI, with surgery on the 27th. O how I want it all to go easy! I´ve been walking a mile everyday at a local park for about a month now. My dogs are the best walking partners in the world. All I have to do is say the word "walk" and their heads snap to attention! Hoping that the walking will help in my recovery, in addition to being healthier for me. Thanks for your stories, inspiration and hopefully support!

BBK, wow so sorry you're having to go through all this. Hope they can do something about your port to make it much more comfortable. You are one of my heros. Keep resting, and do what the Doc tells you. Lots of gentle hugs!

Hi Everyone, Sorry I've not be on this week. Really busy, and my sweet mom got married. So precious, she's 66,and I'm so pleased she has a wonderful man in her life now. Glad to hear you're doing so well Banded. I go tomorrow morning for my Upper GI, then Tuesday for my Pre OP testing, and final bariatric appointment. That's when I start my pre-op lovely liquid diet. So our fridge is filled with lots of cottage cheese, broth, V8, and popsicles!

I'm May 27th!

My surgery is at Clark Memorial in Jeffersonville. Still doesn't seem real this is happening. I started this process in January, and now I'm 16 days away!

Inspiration in a photo for sure!

WOW sounds like you're doing great Banded Girl! I was wondering about sleeping on my side, which is my favorite! Bet you can almost feel the pounds sliding off! Lele I'm getting mine done at Clark Memorial. My liquid diet starts the 20th. We did go to Golden Corral today. Wanted some of those yummy yeast rolls before they are a no no! But the funny thing is as addicted to Diet pop as I was, they don't even taste good anymore. I've been off them since middle of Jan, and when I try a taste of my hubby's, it just tastes yuck. Which is a good thing! Take care, and have a great weekend!

O dear so sorry about all your injuries. Hopefully soon we will feel much better!

Thanks everyone!

We gotta stick together!

Thank you! I'm very excited, but wow this is going to be a killer month. I just was offered a new job YESTERDAY, my mom is getting married on the 15th, pre op testing on the 17th and 20th, surgery on the 27th, reception for mom on the 31st! My head is spinning! I have to start the pre-op diet on the 20th. I'm trying to get up the nerve to read through the instructions again!

Received my call today! May 27th!

LJM, WOW! What a transformation for you. You are a lapband Super Hero for sure!

super impressive!

Wonder if the massage therapist could have been concerned about blood clots? My mom is a MT, and I know she is super careful with folks pre and post operative. Whatever the surgery.

Look at you, look at you, look at you!!!! Awesome girl. What a fine example!
