Froggi

I just wanted to post and say you are an inspiration. You have done sooo well with the band and knowing that someone else around my age can do it gives me more hope. Congrats on such an amazing weightloss!!!

You changed your look I like it. I am not even banded yet...can't wait. I will be banded in November. It can't come soon enough. Thanks for encouraging words!

Mi and I don't talk anymore. I don't goto chat anymore either. But I won't discuss that here for everyone to see.

But yayyyy for your surgery!!!

Hi Alex,

I'm having problems with quick replies. When I click submit they don't pop up in the list anymore, and I have to go back to the thread and reopen it to see what I said. Is this a problem or did you change it around? Several people have mentioned that they were having problems with it too. Thanks.

I read on a post you live in West Virginia...where at...I am in WV too

Eh I'm depressed lately. Still surgery weight. The day after surgery when I got home I had bloated up another 10 lbs from IVs and crap..about 3rd or 4th day out those went byebye and now I am stuck st 363 again and not moving. All of the other november banders are losing even ones that were banded after me and I'm still stuck...but of course I don't think any of them lost 56 lbs before either. I think my body is in shock...plus it's still swollen and bloaty.

Your profile is pretty. I see on the "What did you eat today forum" that you eat beef jerky. Any problems with it and any specific kind? I am to be banded in November...and I am a jerky addict.

I commented your blog, hun. Go check it out.

Thanks for the compliments. My surgery will be either November 2nd, 10th, 17th, or 24th. We're pulling for the 10th

Thought you might want to read that. Give people your 2 cents.

Almost all of my weightloss has been before surgery preparing for it. 28 lbs in my 6 month diet and 28 lbs on preop diet. Since surgery Ihad lost 5 lbs but then I gained it back eh I have one fill and I don't think I have enough ccs to make it work right yet even if I have 4 ccs in a 10 cc band.

Did I tell you we worked out the appts? All of the appts my pulmonologist wanted are in September. Well 1 of them was in August. August 25th was 3 different catscans: a Sinus CT, a High Resolution Chest CT and a Contrast Chest CT. On Setember 5th I have my Asthma test at 11am to 1pm. At 1pm I have my next weigh in. September 11th at 8:15 I have to be at the hospital for a sleep study through 6:30 AM the next morning. September 12th at 10:00 AM is another set of breathing tests. September 25th at 3:30PM is my clearance appt. with the pulmonologist. Sometime around the 3rd week of September will be final weigh in for month 5 then I start month 6 stuff and preop in weeks after that.

Happy belated birthday and congrats on losing 104 lbs!! You're doing so awesome!

Hun I looooove you! Good luck on your surgery!! I wish you so much luck!!! -hugggggs-

That's awesome. I'm glad you're finally getting the ball rolling. Like I said before it will go by soooo quickly. My surgery will be in 6 or 7 weeks. It's getting really exciting. I can't wait until I get the official date sometime between the 13th and 17th of October I'll get my approval and get appts in with Kaplan and my preop nutriotional etc. I had my most recent weigh in September 16th. I had gained 1.5 lbs...but that's no biggie. My final weigh in is next week on Friday the 3rd of October...I'd like to get into the 380's but it probably won't happen...if not I hope it does on my preop diet. October 6th all my stuff gets sent into insurance. It seems like time is going so slow now cause everything is getting so close and coming together. Frustrating. I want my official date. lol

I hope you get your 2nd fill soon. I have my lasy nutritional appt for my 6 month diet on October 3rd. Super excited that everything is finally going to be sent into the insurance and then I will actually meet Dr. Kaplan. Everything seems to be going so slow now. Cause it's so close. I plan on going to lots of support groups if they are at good times...depending on my mom's work schedule cause my car is pretty much DEAD. LOL. Anywho haven't heard from you lately keep me posted on how you're doing. I am almost in bandland with you!! 6 to 7 more weeks until I finally get banded!

Yay you've lost 16 lbs! Congrats. My last appt for my 6 month supervised diet is Friday of next week...October 3rd. All my paperwork gets sent in October 6th and then I wait for approval. Surgery should be in 6 or 7 weeks! November 3rd or 10th most likely.

I'm glad you're doing well!! Get lots of rest and drink looooots of fluids my dear. I hope you heal quickly and feel like yourself again soon! I love you and congrats!!!

You're sooo cute!!!
