  1. half2bwhole, I am getting banded August 6th too! How is your pre op diet going? I am finally starting to get used to not eating solid food. It was very difficult last night when my kids decided to make popcorn...one of my favorites and it smells so good! Other than that I'm doing ok. Good luck to you Wednesday!
  2. Cathrine, I am so happy for you! Glad everything went well for you. I am leaving tomorrow morning for pre op blood work and since we live 2 hours from the hospital we are spending the night and then will have surgery Wed sometime. I don't have a time yet, hoping it will be early. Wish me luck!
  3. Friday sounds like a good day to weigh in so count me in too!
  4. Good luck Misty! I'll be thinking about you,
  5. I hope you get to feeling better. I know how dissapointing it would be to have to postpone surgery. Good luck Tuesday, I'll be right behind you on Wednesday!
  6. I am on day 5 of my one week pre op liquid diet and it has gotten much easier. The first two days were horrible! I'm hungry but I'm no longer having cravings. My headache went away after the 2nd day of liquids. Hope you are feeling better by tomorrow. Good luck tomorrow! My surgery is the 6th so I'm right behind you!
  7. Moe, Thanks for sharing your story. I hope my experience is as positive as yours. Only three days to go for me!

  16. I know how you feel. I still can't believe I am actually going to do this. I was smiling until I started my liquid diet. I am sooo hungry I can't sleep. We got the wii fit about a week ago and my family and I are having a great time with it. I think it's funny how the mii's are sized acording to your weight. I'm looking forward to having a skinny mii!
  17. Congratulations! I'm glad everything went well for you. I'll be banded on August 6th and I'm counting down the days. Good luck.
  18. Wow! 30 days! I'm on day three of a one week liquid diet and I am a total grouch today. I am sooo hungry but I am determined not to cheat.
  19. Congratulations Moe! Glad to know you are doing good!
  20. I had to have a nuclear stress test too. It was not that bad. The worst part was lying still while the pictures of my heart were taken. I was not told to stay away from my kids or anything like that.
  21. Congratulations Angela! I'm being banded August 6th. Good luck.
  22. Good luck! I'm excited for you.
  23. Congratulations! You don't have too long to wait.
