  8. Hey all you June bugs! Come take a look at the Jazzy Junes line up. I have tried to put most of your dates in it. If I missed anyone just copy and paste and update. Good luck and congrats to you all!
  9. :wink:Hi Everyone: I am very excited! My surgery is to be 3 weeks from today! I have a bit of a road block with a new problem with blood pressure and my heart, I pray it is nothing. They are looking at test today to rule out congestive heart failure. :thumbup: But I feel certain it is a fluke! I am on lasix to help with the fluid, but they are not going to put me on blood pressure meds now, because my bp is normal, it was only up for a short time, but the fluid is not going away.. I still think it will work out fine and I will get banded on the 6th:thumbup: ANYWAY... back to the subject at hand, Cadets, I wanted to tell you how I fix my protein shakes. I got a small drink blender from Target, 19.95, it is used for frozen drinks. I put a half cup of ice and then either water or milk (or in my case soy milk) and make a really cold, icy milk shake. It is wonderful! :thumbup: I like muscle milk brand, chocolate is my favorite. I get it at GNC. I have also tried the shots of liquid protein, CNP ProSlam has 45 grams of protein and they are ok Will be good right after surgery.:thumbup: I will be interested in hearing whaat you all have to say about diets and progress. This support group is VERY IMPORTANT to me!:thumbup:

  11. I am so ready for surgery and June 6 is actually my second date.:thumbup: I was originally scheduled for May 14 (I would be banded by now) I was rescheduled so I can have the new Realize band and Dr Jamie Ponce (a lap band pioneer surgeon) is flying :plane:in to do the surgery with my doctor, Dr. Kramer. Anyway, last Thursday I went to have allergy shots and mentioned to the nurse that I was swelling. :thumbup: My blood pressure was 162/90. I have never had blood pressure problems. It stays around 120/80. I haven t added new medications and no new stress. :thumbup: I went to my PCP today and she did more test, she says I may have congestive heart failure :scared:and will have to postpone my lap band! They did x-rays and a PNP blood test, I will know more on Wednesday. If the tests come back good, I am ok and can have surgery. Please! :pray2:Pray they come back good! :thumbup: For now I am going to stay positive! :thumbup: and believe it is just a little bump in the road!
