  1. Hey August All-Star's, Well i like the idea of weighing in every Friday. I just got to get my ticker on track. I've lost perhaps 2lbs since Wednesday., 8/13 but, i'm also NOT trying to obsess because i want to grasp that this is a journey and a permanent lifestyle change.. What i'm also finding helpful is the website livestrong.com "My Daily Plate" this is a wonderful website and i love being able to journal and keep track of my eating habits, reflect, learn and move on to new healthier habits. So I have another question for all of you: Are any of you trying to stay under a certain amount of calories for your first month (post op) prior to your first adjustment? I'm trying to stay under 1,000 calories and sometimes i can go over and sometimes i stay under. PS - Happy Weekend- Do any of you struggle on the weekends with eating more/less?
  2. Thanks to all who responded so quickly!! In the information packets i received from my doctor's office they advised NOT to stress on weight loss during recovery period but, it's still nice to know that some of us are losing as we're starting out on this journey and it does help to know that i may be down another 1lb today when i go to eat my SF jell-o or my Tomato soup! I can't wait for my first adjustment...i'm sooo skipping ahead but, enjoying this moment as well for reflection and how i got here, where i'm headed, and how i'm going to get to goal...Can i get a Amen and Hallelujiah!! ..LOL! :thumbup:
  3. Hi AZlife! I had my surgery done by Dr. Terry Simpson on 8/13 at Spec Surg Ctr. I'm on my 3rd day of liquids and not losing weight yet! I see you had your surgy on 8/8 have you lost any weight since surgy date? How many calories are you having? Who banded you? Yes- i'm out in Mesa/Gilbert borderline.
  4. Hi to all my soon to be new thin bandster's!! I just got banded on 8/13/08 and everything went well, PRAISE GOD! I see a lot of weight loss ticker's that show weight loss pre op and i'm jut assuming that's because some of you were on a liquid diet prior to your surgery? I would like to know how much weight loss for those of you that have been banded for a few weeks now? I know it's bonus weight but, it's still weight coming off and very motivating to read the success stories! I'm thrilled that i've taken charge of my life and that i found this wonderful support group! Many blessings and looking forward to getting to know and share this journey!

    I havn't fallen off the planet

    Hi August All-Stars...Well i joined this group but, haven't been much involved until now. I just had lapband surgery yesterday 8/13/08 and i feel pretty good! I'm looking at everyone's tickers and my assumptionis that some of you were put on a pre-op liquid diet? I'm wondering how many of you lost weight after getting banded during the first 1-3 weeks?

  9. Can you take Theraflu I wonder? How about drinking OJ, chicken soup, and taking a liquid vitamin/mineral? Maybe Vicks Vapor if your chest or nose is stuffy..but, not sure if that counts as medicine....
  10. Hi all-Just wanting to see who is on a slim fast pre op liquid diet?
  11. Hi all- I want to go on a a pre op diet even though my doctor didnt order me to have one but, i would still feel better trying to shrink my liver down. Any pre op liquid suggestions. I was thinking of doing like a Slim Fast diet. Also when are labs ordered and what are they for? Do you have to do labs the week prior or can it be the day of. It seems to me my doctor office told me it would be the day of.
  12. Hi KW3- Soooooooo how do you feel??? Who was your doctor?

    Last supper?

    Hi all- Well my surgery date is 8/13 and i'm trying to eat better but, still can't rule out sweets. I dropped the soda and switched to ice tea w/ sweetner. I'm not on a pre-op liquid diet and have still been eating the same. I wouldnt need this surgery if i could control myself but, my hope is that by having this surgery i will learn how to enjoy in small moderations. Any realist out there that haven't really started to change their eating habits>? I just know this surgery is major and enjoy awhile i can or in my case for the next 2 weeks!! Bring on the Weight Watcher Fudge Bars. .
  14. HI- I'm getting banded on 8/13 and can't wait for the surgery part to already be over. I'm a little nervous.:thumbup:
  15. Hi all- Getting banded 8/13/08. Looking for some bandster friends that have or are going through the emotions. Trying not to obsess on what could go wrong but, everything that is going to go right!
