B, Not L, A D Damn Thang!!!! I want some real food. Steak, Lasgna, Pork chopssss:mad:

Glad to hear all went well!! OMG, tropical popsicles are awesome!!

Terrimck1-- Dont sweat the pizza.. you are doing so well with the diet, just a few more days to go. That pizza will be out the system by then. I was having 'last meals' everyday up to two days before surgery. I kept thinking "I wont be able to eat anything every again" well I ended up managing to do liquids for the last two days and the doc still let me do my surgery. I was banded on 11/9, so far all is well. I get a lil hungry, but I am hanging on to the notion that I did this to my body for a reason:rolleyes: U will do great!

Crystalstar11!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: I am so happy to hear that ur now banded.. We're almost banded twins, our surgeries were so close. Rest well!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Greetings All! Thanks for all you support. I am doing well. No real pain, just aint 100% yet, but its all good. I am glad I finally feel well enough to sit up and type on the PC... It was a killer not being online Well like most have said... The hard part is over now. liquids are going okay, but looking forward to pureees. I will just be happy when I can really start moving a lot more briskly. I am trying to drop these lbs as soon as possible... :heh: Anyways... off to have a wonderful cup of broth... :bored Talk to everyone soon

K, My doc said that I didnt have to do a pre op diet since I had already lost a few, but I had been trying to do one on my own... well, it aint working... every day is like a "last day" for me and I just been eating every and anything... U have lost quite a bit of weight already... dont stress over the pre-op diet, just continue what u been doing... and take all the bad things out the house.. I am cleaning out my kitchen TODAY!

Kee Largo in Da HOUSEEEE... 32 lbs gone and I get my mouth banded on Nov 9th... I have a goal of 25 more lbs off by the time the ball drops!!!:biggrin1:

Huh-What... nobody told me about a house warming... :cool:

well, your doing something right cus the scale justs keeps on moving..

I wonder who that was *cough*(me)*cough cough... Yeah I know... I was kinds off yesterday since I didnt go to work on Monday, my days were a lil mixed up. Got on the scale this morning and I am still 245 so I would have probably weighed about the same. But look at you missy... 380 OMG... that is just FRICKEN GREAT!!! Are u kidding me, u will be at 375 in just a few days... nothing like losing 79 pounds to get a sista pumped!!!

Wow BarbaraC.... That is AWESOME... 36lbs GONE FOREVER... U will surely make it to 50 lost in no time!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Christmas isnt what it used to be for me. I dont put up trees, I dont wrap gifts and hubby and I dont even excange gifts... Well, I dont think there will be a tree this year either, but if santa is listening, I would like him to send some holiday spirit my way... Oh, and 25 lbs less of me would be great too.

Woo Hoo, SunnyKim. That is awemome... Lets trade places!!!

T, u better stay consistant on them meds... Hopefully soon you wont have to take them, but in the mean time we want you at top notch... BTW... when we walking again!

AAw, Thanks Ms. Teresita! I know I can get through this.. I know somewhere deep deep down inside (somewhere in dark and lonely place somewhere) I have the strength to do this. I need to find peace with myself, quit this self depression and start treating my body like the temple it deserves to be treated. From top to bottom, I want to be a new me!

Nothing exciting going on today... but i did have this weird dream last night. I was going in for surgery and there were all these medical people around me talking and I couldnt hear and I just kept saying "where is my surgeon, where is my surgeon" okay, so now I am having nightmares are the big day... How fun. :rolleyes I guess maybe subconciously I am just coming to terms with the whole thing. I have been operated on before so going under really doesnt bother me, but I dont know.. just getting a few butterflies maybe.

Greetings all Nov Bandsters... I will be banded Nov. 9th, with Dr. Moazzez in Fairfax, VA. My highest weight is around 280, I am currenlty at 245 and I want to get down to 175. I dont have to do liquids, but I have to lost 10 lbs before surgery, so I plan on going on a high protein train around the first of the month. I have been the worst with the bandster rule. Not really practicing, but more so stressing over what I wont be able to eat... I guess one day at a time... Good luck to all!

Take That, LOL! Just Kidding..

:tired So now I get a call from my PCP and find out that I am H Pylori positive... I am thinking to myself... What.. what the hell is that and why do I have it!! :cry Well from my research, its a bateria in the stomach and it can cause gastritis and ulcers... Great. Now what does this mean for surgery. Well after going back and forth between the surgeon and my PCP, I find that I need to get on anti-biotics for the next two weeks. Then they will retest me in another two weeks... HOLD IT:omg: I have surgery in 3 weeks so now what. Well my surgeron office says that its cool, that some people are even on the meds when they go to surgery... well for me, I want on them ASAP. I heard they were some big azz pills and I dont want to be trying to figure out how to take them once I've been banded... Oh so my PCP says that he wants to see me first before he prescribes the meds... what the heck. He just saw me and he has to see me again before surgery for clearance so whats the big friggen deal. Just write the darn perscription so I can be on my merry way...:mad: Well thank goodness my Surgeons office said they would write it. But they wanted me to call my PCP to let him know so that I am not stepping on anyones toes... HELLOOOOO. this is my damn body, I am the one who has to take the darn meds, get the dang on band and deal with the dreaded INS people, so I dont really give a rats azz if I am stepping on toes... If it were not for my persistance, I would probably still be hung up on why my ins hadnt approved me yet (GEEZ, THATS A WHOLE NOTHER STORY :faint: ) Well anyways, after all that drama... I will be taking my meds starting today and am still on schedule to have my band.
