    Well, tonight is IT! My last non-diet dinner where I will overeat as usual . I grilled hamburgers/veggies last night and made a chicken pot pie tonight (and a veggie one for my vegetarian dd). For lunch today, I went to my last Chinese buffet trip (why go to one and pay so much if I'm not eating much later???). Tomorrow, I see the surgeon for a pre-op appointment and start my pre-op diet. I'm as ready as I can be! I have some EAS protein drinks, broth, SF popsicles and fudgesicles, diet "flavored" green tea, and SF pudding and jello. I also have Benefiber at the recommendation of the dietician (I tried it today...can't taste it). Oh, and they suggest Tums (for calcium) and a daily vitamin which I'm adding to my pillbox. It's sad to be 40 and already have TWO pillboxes...one for morning, one for evening. Sigh. I'm ready to get this party started!

  3. CyndiG--that's a neat calculator! It said 163 is a good weight for me...I would agree that would be great to get to! Monkeyband--I'm sorry you feel sad. I'm sure that's normal and that it will get better as you lose. Just an FYI--gaining after surgery isn't abnormal as they give you so many fluids that you will eventually lose. If your sadness doesn't go away soon or increases, you should let your doctor know. Oregonirish55--what's your date? I would like to add you to our list! ~~anne

    Today I made food for my supervisor as her mother died and they held visitation. I ran into a co-worker who was previously banded, had to be "re-banded" and was telling me a story of eating one day post up tiny bites at a wedding that she couldn't resist! Please, God, help me to follow the rules and do this the right way!!! I'm off to pick up my dh from the airport and then we are having a late dinner with my oldest son and girlfriend before he heads back to Georgia in the morning to Ft. Stewart. It was a nice visit but I already miss him! I'm having a "last" dinner at our favorite restaurant...an amazing burger and fries. No more after tonight! I had my "last" drinking splurge last night with a close friend. We had a bonfire and set around drinking our favorite adult beverage until about 2 am! It was fun...but I hope I can still be "fun" post-banded.

  12. Hi! Welcome to all the new folks who are stopping by! I have a funny story (well, to me it is!). We have a 100+ lb yellow lab puppy who got in my bedroom today and got into my Unjury sample packets and decided he liked the Strawberry Sorbet flavor--I ended up with a PINK puppy! He even had pink drool hanging out his mouth! :crying: Good thing he liked it as I thought it was pretty nasty (the smell anyway!). I think I've updated with all new upcoming surgeries and those who have already been banded that were not included. Please let me know if I've missed anyone: October 1- shanna234; salome000; wvprisonrn; 9pdmnm5; linro123; Meschultz; Elfaba thegood; LINRO123 October 2-Vidahlia; NEWLIFE4BEV; mrsrdh; mamac; kdraves; emialiabri; markfarnsworth; Bratty_Nicole; Carriejess; Terry in KY October 3-Miss Undastood; SaraJaneQ; LoneStarLoser; Cyndi2464; purplerose; brandie; garysmithey; Ara; Mistydaz October 4- October 6-Odawa; DeeH; sim78; bandedCG; sweetgothic; daydreamer1; artistapril; roxann; MississippiGirl; trinaj; JerryBlade; SeaSide October 7-nighttart6; melboyd; EllindaGreek; NFaith; PandorasMom; Betelnut; mimilou; mark2842; lula23; harleyc; odawa ; short n' sassy; longhorn girl; cellis82; grannytwinkie; Sooner; Bama2; NFaith October 8-austex; LoveIslovely; karebare714; birchmoon; tiaj; lisalef; goosefraba; renita; socalcass; Toosywoots; MaryBnSC; cheryl1952 October 9-Izzyd; Mamacj; triciat; karenk; saninbham; imlindal46 October 10- morkiecoco; MomDukes58; BikiniBeachy October 11-mama g October 13-myturn0421; lindatatu; vandih; fabnatsdiva; msk1968; travelinsorkel; missundastood; clv811; wifepilot; longhornmom; ctoyooka; suzanna; myturn; DC Girl October 14-MyTurn; cstauble; bimbabe; BobbieND; crimsondawn; leannmorton; mamary5; sexievilyellow; nrpnrp; toots2008; caladonia41;Tyme2GetRite; Txnurse; up & adam; TJ1; hunnybunny3 October 15-rulooknatme; gritar; cheryl1952; alteration; animalover; ihadtodoit October 16-SickNTired; SanMateoDae; Bino; angelx5; tracie30; maggiehpp; msavoy4901; bemused; nayray13; deb’s journey October 17-Lshelley21; josiegurl; shadowland; newgrama0904; swalesfcc; hersheymalone; javabeans; October 18- October 20-nazzy; Ruby124; LynnN; Soupamom; taosgal October 21-SnowWhite760; Vickie; gottabthin; cyndyg; rondapooh1;HelloPenny October 22-annecolorgreen; jogirl; fortunate1; sandielaw October 23- blueangelkc80; bugginbri October 24-illinoishusker; bradley18; tyme2getrite; ktravel October 25- October 27- ebonie1015; alabamagirl1975; dicustr413 October 28-BootyBee; Michele777 October 29-knickerbocker; ~Bridgette~; SCTexasGirl; julie.ann; lauriel; dirigo; CMTurner; sunwyse; Altoonasoup October 30-kygirl31; IDHmngBird; October 31-
  13. My two sons are in the Army (Ft. Stewart and Ft. Lewis). The older one came back from Kuwait in May and it was such a HUGE relief to me! The #2 son is married and expecting a baby in April. He has had some colon issues and may end up with major surgery...or nothing. He will deploy next August they say. ~~anne

    I had my pre-op appointment today and it was LONG as I had worked during the night and went straight to the appointment. One lady asked SO many questions that, IMO, she should have known the answers to at this point with only a week left until surgery. I was tired and irritable I guess! The barium swallow was disgusting. I hope to NEVER have to do that again! The exercise folks were very thorough--apparently, we get through the end of the year up to four days a week in the cardiac rehab gym with a trainer and sports physiologist. They will adjust our exercise routine to individually meet our needs as far as our physical issues. They did do our measurements and body fat analysis and will continue to follow those as time goes on. They also did "before" pictures. I'm excited! I had some "bad" news today. My future first grandchild is likely to be born premature as my DIL has a bicornuate uterus. So many ups and downs right now! My oldest son is in town for the weekend from the Army and it's so great to see him!

  17. Hi Sandielaw--we share a surgery date! I am heading to my pre-op appointment this morning and I guess I'll get my diet info then.

  18. Well, I believe I had my last "fat" airplane ride...and the last leg was SO embarrassing! It was a small puddle jumper and the seats were small and so were the seat belts. In a regular Delta plane, I can barely fit in the seat belts...in this plane, I had to suck in my breath. What made it worse was the lady sitting across the aisle AND the flight attendant both watched intently as I struggled and finally got it on. Sigh. NEVER again!!!!! Dh and I were treated to free Disney tickets at his conference and we went on a quick trip to Animal Kingdom as we had not been there. We did have fun...but without a doubt, if we were both smaller, we would have done OH so much more. We were very limited in what we could do. NEVER again!!!!! :biggrin:
  19. My pre-op is tomorrow and I feel the same way! We can do it!
  20. Well, tomorrow is another step in the process and something else I can check off . I guess they do bloodwork, x-rays, EKG, barium swallow, and have everyone meet with an exercise physiologist and a dietician. Busy day! Can't wait! Also, my oldest Army son is coming for a visit tomorrow at 3 pm for the weekend (Columbus Day). :thumbup: I just got back from a quick trip to Florida with my husband (business for him) and saw SO many soldiers in the airport in Atlanta and on the planes. I sat next to one heading to Atlanta from Orlando and felt God was telling me to give him some money for a meal on me. I tried to resist but couldn't! (I tend to be shy) When we were getting off, I passed him some money and told him what it was for and he tried to refuse...I looked him in the eye (mine were tear-filled the entire trip!) and told him how much I missed my boys and would he please have a meal on me and he thanked me . It helped ME so much to do that! Still no word on the change in my job...that's a tad stressful needless to say . Oh, one good thing, during my trip I walked more than usual and my "bad" knee held up better than usual! Can't wait for tomorrow!

  22. Hi! Tomorrow is my pre-op testing!!! :biggrin: Prayers and best wishes going out tonight and tomorrow for: morkiecoco; MomDukes58; BikiniBeachy. Hope everyone who was banded today is doing well! ~~anne
  23. I would bet 254...could be a typo or just one of those things like when we talk about gas prices now and say $2.99 instead of $3.99 because we aren't used to talking about gas prices being so high! I was just thinking the other day that I don't FEEL 264 on the inside...I still feel like the active, athletic person I once was and am frustrated when my body won't cooperate! Great to hear back from the "banded ones"! Wishing you well! ~~anne
  24. Hi ya'll! I'm back from Florida and had a wonderful time! My dh had a trade show and I spent a little time there but mostly having some R&R time READING! I got home this afternoon and looked at my calender and realized that my pre-op appointment is THIS Friday!!! I had a :eek: moment! I will say that my knee did better with the walking that I did more than anytime lately...that was encouraging! I THINK I have the list updated... I hope everyone did well today (and in previous days) and wanted to send my thoughts and prayers out to Izzyd; Mamacj; triciat; karenk; saninbham for tomorrow! Missed you! ~~anne
  25. I know the feeling! Congrats LynnN--I will go back up and add you to the list! ~~anne
