LOL... I am right there with u.. I swear when i drank my chicken broth yesterday It tasted as good as sunday dinner with all of the trimmings...lol... i was sitting at my desk saying how sad.... it that... but I gotta do what I gotta do... and u can make it also...

Oh baby I started on Tuesday and I will be banded on the 15th and this is hard as hell... but I can at least eat 1 meal a day.... and I normally eat dinner at home.. but it really truly is mind over matter... ouch....

I hope so... I looked at one on the supervisors like if looks could kill i would be giving my condolences at your funeral right now u jerk.... I get really sarcastic when im hungry i'm talking about really bad...I could only imagine what drug addicts go thru with the shakes and the cold and hot sweats... i feel like im going thru withdrawls.. and I call myself starting early....lol...wow...I have to be @ work @ 9am and i'm not playing at all today no holds bard...thanks guys for the luv....

congrats jason.... I got my approval, and my Dr. just fax'd over my medical clerance yesterday. I also got me approval letter in the mail from my insurance company... so i am on cloud 10 right now... when u go to the ticker page to get a ticket in another screen have your lapband talk edit profile page up and on the left hand side click on edit signature and copy the ticker and past it in the edit signature box and save and u should be all good..

that is fantastic.... congratulations....

Don't get me wrong I am a go getter... and I am up for the challange. But this shi* is hard as hell... It's not that bad when i'm not at work, but as everyone know's i sit next to a compulsive over eater. And the bad part is, is that my schedule changed so i sit next to someone else that eat's like a cow grazing in the pasture.... This chick knows that I am getting the lap band and she bought this big dumb azz bag of chips to work yesterday i'm talking about the biggest bag of chips i have ever seen it looked like the size of a pillow...lol.. not kidding half of her arm disapeared when she put it inside of the bag....lol.. and im like are u kidding me....I did remember that I can drink the chicken broth and stuff... as well.. so i did that, and let me tell u that broth was like eating sunday dinner...lol.. then she pulls a pack of raman noodles out of her drawer like do u want these...:tt2: r u kidding... NO I DON'T i'm fine i will sip my broth and i will be ok... I can only eat 1 real meal so i would rather wait until i get home to do that.. and then the managers had the nerve to walk around passing out candy bars saying mamagement wants u all to know that we appreciate u all... here u go. a TWIX...:Banane44::Banane44: R U SERIOUS... get this crap off of my desk.... what is a person to do... I feel like i want to walk with dark ass shades on :frown: so i wont be tempted to eat that kind of crap.. exp. when i have my band put on 1-week from today... I know I can do it, but it is harder than i imagined exp. when people try to knock u off your square... also she had the nerve to say well I love me the way I am, and if the weight comes off then it comes off and if it dosen't oh well... and I'm like i have been there and u are not happy because if u were u wouldnt have said that. But everything is not for everyone.

so they didn't have u on any liquid shakes... i could only imagine how u felt when u woke up... u can't go back now so just make the best of it...U can do it... all i can say is the 2 shakes and 1 meal a day is hard as hell...lol

may i ask what were you eating prior to your procedure? that is so not cool....

Well congrats...would be in order...

Actually I have read other post with people loosing more weight myself.. Are you following the instructions you were given by your Dr's office if not i would get back to that.... I would not eat what others are eating.. just because it can go down dosent mean u should eat it....not saying that u are doing that...

Congrats on your weight loss thus far....lol r u kidding.. u are doing excellent... and you are not working out too much too soon.. Your body will soon catch up.. keep doing what you are doing.. make sure on at least 1 day out of the week consume about 200 more calories so that will trick your body into burning more... and u will see the loss again but dont slack on the workouts.. you are doing fantastic....

congrats... your process looks really fast...

OMG YOUR WEIGHT LOSS IS AMAZING... Wow.. what is your eating like.. plz tell me...lol:ohmy:

So u went to Dr. Roshard at the WTSurgical Center and u feel as if you arnt doing good.. who have u spoke with in the office and what have you been eating?

From what my Dr's office told me was to take the membrane out of citrus fruit, and to peal the skin because that will make it really hard to digest and or to go down, the roughage is fibrous type foods, they are not digestable so they push all of the bad stuff out of our system and keep us regular, later on like at least 4-6mths into it i'm sure u can eat it, but your Dr's office should give you a guide of what you can and can't eat. The more clear you are on this the more successful you will be and the weight will come off with no problem.

YES YES YES.... Thanks...

It was posted a few weeks ago and i want to send the link to a friend of mine and i can't find it..

I would like to know how much weight everyone has lost after being banded?

I love the magic bullet. When my last boyfriend and I broke up. I kept his.... lol.. He was like now your breaking my heart...lol.. I luv it.. I just need to know where u purchase more cups from... and i am a huge fan of lean cusine and ww meals also...

That is what i have read, and I want it to go as smooth as possiable. I want to wake up and my Dr say wow Katrina I have never had a band go on that easy before....Do u think while he is in there he can get a vacum and suck some of the fat out or just pull it out thru the insion in my tummy...lol.. just kidding..

Now I don't have to start my pre-op diet until the 7th of May. I go in on the 13th to have my blood work and every done prior to being banded on the 15th. I have made up in my mind that I am going to start my pre-op diet on this coming Monday. I think my major struggle is eating out of being board... or when i'm upset... So i know I am going to have to really focus on what triggers my eating..I am not going to do the last supper type of thing, because I think that will make it worse for me to do the right thing... I am ready to start this new life of mine... please keep me in your prayers and i will do like wise and keep you all in mine.. Nothing but success, and great things i hope for you all....

well congratulations u have one of the hardest parts out of the way.. The best part about it is that you should be banded before the end of 2008...

That sucks... but everything happens for a reason... so just focus on u, and everything will be ok..

Now that is scary....wow.....:frown:
