Oh yeah sooooooooo funny.:rolleyes2:

Lindsay and Jeannie told me 5 lbs in thr first week nothing about the 2nd. But I will ask when I go to see Kaplan on the 10th.

My mother comes home from work every single day telling about how all of the guys she works with are downtalking/trashtalking and just basically saying how Obama needs to be shot etc. It's not just the democrats saying horribly hateful and demeaning things about McCain...the republicans spit the same shit and hatred about Obama...both parties do it. Always have always will...and both do it just as much as the other. So I don't get why the republicans are like "Oh well he/she said this about Palin/McCain but no one says anything horrible about Obama...it's not fair wah wah"

Probably every single thing you said gadget

I'm just worried I'm not going to be able to lose anymore cause I've already lost 28 lbs just eating 1600 calories or less a day and not any lower than 1200. They told me I would because of ketosis...but I sure hope so. After working this hard to lose this and such and to get banded arguing with insurance all that I don't need to be cancelled due to 5 lbs lol

How much have you lost so far on preop? I'm worrying myself to death LOL

I have to lose 5 lbs or no surgery for me and also my period is the week of my surgery. But yet I got weighed yesterday during my period and had lost 2.5 lbs. I don't think I'll have a problem. I sure hope not. My surgery is the 24th and my preop starts November 10th need to lose 5 lbs by the 17th. I'll be on a protein shake for breakfast, one for lunch, and lowcarb high protein lean meat and green veggies for dinner...like skinless chicken thighs etc.

Ugh gallbladder attacks are the worst. I was deathly ill from mine when I was 15 and had to have it removed...had 25 ML of gallstones. Good luck with your surgery!! You get banded the 26th I'm supposed to be banded the 24th!

I start my preop the 10th...and between the 10th and 17th I HAVE to lose 5 lbs. I am stressing over that. We will see what happens. I'll be on a protein shake for breakfast one for lunch and lean meat and green veggies for dinner.

WVU I dunno if the preop weight loss has to be the same for everyone. Like I said I was told 5 lbs in the first week or no surgery. I wasn't told 10. Lindsay told me yesterday that there is no way I wouldn't lose 5 lbs or more on the preop diet if I follow it like it says on my paperwork. I'm still worried though because for the longest time I was stuck at 393 and yesterday I finally broke it and went down to 391. I just hope I can lose. I can't afford to be postponed don't have the time for that...dang insurance.

Did a bunch of housework today. Not sure if I will do any actual walking a mile or so...we will see.

Can I have some more information? Such as preop diet starting weight, current weight, your goal weight etc. I added you to the spreadsheet though.

lololol@ the tongs

How much did you lose during the first week of your preop diet? How much in the entire preop diet? Also what kind of diet were you on? I'm required to lose 5 lbs in the first week on a diet consisting of Protein shake for Breakfast, Protein Shake for lunch, and lean meat and green veggies for dinner.

How much did all you Kaplan bandsters lose during your first week of preop? How much in the entire 2 weeks? I was never told I had to lose 10 in 2 weeks I was just told I had to lose 5 in the first week. I was told I would most likely lose 10 or more if I follow the diet. All I have to worry about is that my tummy is A-okay for surgery in the EGD, and losing the 5 lbs. And of course...being impatient waiting for the rest of my appts and surgery!

Sorry guys. I was dealing with insurance for awhile and after that just didn't feel like coming on. lol I finally updated you all on the original spreadsheet. Google Docs - Notorious Novembers Weightloss Log

I was told by Jeannie and Lindsay that I HAVE to lose 5 lbs in the first week of my preop. I start preop November 10th and see Dr. Kaplan on the 10th. On either the 14th or 17th is my EGD and on the 17th I see Jeannie to see if I lost 5 lbs. I saw Lindsay yesterday and I was down to 391 so I guess they are going from that. My surgery is set for November 24th

Posting to post... Just saw the one commercial about ATT and the dino birthday party and how they got the t-rex costume...YAY MEMORIES lol makes me giggle.

So...I still don't have my approval letter in hand. I absolutely hate waiting for important things in the mail. It seems it's going to take longer for me to get the paper in my hand than it did to get approved. It's annoying and ridiculous. I was told once I get the paper though and I call and give the approval codes to Jeannie so I can get my appts made. Lindsey is all filled up this week and Kaplan is out of town so I guess they will be next week. Hopefully I will get my dang letter tomorrow in the mail (I BETTER) I want to know I have appts...plus I am getting so frustrated knowing my surgery will be in November yet I don't have a date when November is less than 2 weeks away! I hope I can get my date next week (crosses fingers & toes) My mom said if I don't get my letter tomorrow that she wants me to call the insurance again and see if they can fax a copy or something to the doc's office so I can get this started. Waiting like this is so annoying and stressful when you only have so many specific days and times you can do things. My mom will be off tomorrow and thursday...can't make appts for then cause none are available...then her next day off is Friday the 31st...HAVE to make appts for then. And the only free time my mom has off in November to help me with my surgery will be a couple days before November 10th and after November 10th. So my surgery needs to be then!!! Jeannie and Lindsey don't think I will have a problem getting that day if I get my paperwork this week so I am hoping and praying that everything goes okay. I know this is a long post but damnit I am stressing and worrying about every little thing right now. I need to be starting my preop diet next week sometime! Plus I still need an EGD. Ugh. I hate stress.

I sorry. Drink lots of water and protein shakes. I should be starting my preop diet next week. =/ We will see! :biggrin:

Awww. During the end of the summer we had quite a few tiny like 1 inch froggies in the flower beds. <333:wub:

I said a brat beef kilbasa hot smoked sausage cheddarwurst haha those hillshire farm commercials drive me insane

I hope mine ends up being the 10th.
