i feel so bored and lonely its making me sad, sorry if this isnt the right place to put this. i havent hung out or heared from my bff since july 8th. but what i really wish i had was a lap band buddy my age. maybe after i gett banded things will be better, im still extremely nervous and very scared, i hope things go great. sometimes i just want to cry cause im so scared hmm, its in 2 more days, its really close, so scar3d ):

that's good to hear, thanks (:

i'm nervous too, im pre-op, im kind of scared of the pain i'll have after and how akward itll feel at first, but i know i made the right decission and i'll be so much happier later. i couldnt do it on my own.

as for the bra, if i sat up straight, it wouldnt be touching and the one i have now is way comfortable than a sports bra (: so i think ill just take the one i have

hey that good to hear, i should be fine then, i have made a shopping list post in this section, it should be on the first page and good luck (:

good luck (:

im starting to get worried now and my surg is friday, i followed it straight up to friday(started preop diet on weds) but had 2 strawberries, then saturday i only had two protein shakes out of 4 snuck in a cup of brocoli and yesturday i had 2 shakes out of 4 again and half a piece of sausage and today one shake only 630 cals and 49 cals, i feel really bad and sad ): but! im making sure i get up early again tomorrow and get back on track for the remaining 3 days left til surg. hope ill be fine. i hope:smile2:

awesome and that is what i planned on doing, haha im going to have a bag full of jewelry hope they dont get grossed out by my lobes but anyways that makes me feel better about it not closing up, and thankss :crying:!

thanks, i cant have protein until the full liquids, on my paper my nutritionist gave me said i could have diet snapple on the clear liquid week and what's loser than a sports bra?

ok so friday is my surgery day and i work but its only a cleaning job, i clean a church(my brother introduced me to it, i absolutely hate the job, but i need money to pay phone billy and stuff)on mondays and thursdays and what i need to do every monday i have to clean downstairs(my mom does upstairs) vaccum, sweep, mop, put chairs up, clean bathrooms, break boxes down and take trash out, and clean sunday school(mondays) and thursdays are the same except sunday school, so my question is since surgery is friday will i be ok enough to go on monday? theres alot of bending over and twisting but im gonna try to get my dad to hlep too. next is about my tongue ring. got it pierced dec 20 08(my 18th bday) im worried it'll close up. the surgeron said surgery is an hour and 15 mins. i can wear any jewelry not even a retainer. i hope i get up soon enough to put it back in when i get out of surgery. ok that really was a question but ok. this is however, im going shopping tomorrow for the clear liquids and any other things i'll need, what did you guys get for the clear liquids stage or full liquids? and anything else before and for surgery? i know i have a shopping list thread, but ahh i dont know! my clear liquid's list: chicken noodle ramen noodles (and of course im going to strain the noodles and whatever else is in the soup) Gas-X strips Gatorade G2 Diet Snapple ok but i think i only have to do clear liquids for the first day after surgery because on my list my nutritionist gave me of the progression of my diet it says first two weeks after surgery full liquids so i dont know i'll just get more of what i already have for surgery day, overnight stuff: shampoo & conditioner(cause im staying the night) soap tooth brush & tooth paste chapstick q-tips sports bra loose fitting clothes going to buy a new magazine the night before bringing my ipod, cell phone, and camera pillow my breathing tube they gave me all my papers brush glasses liquid tylenol i feel like im forgetting stuff, i have a heating pad and a cold pack but again if you have anything that was helpful please add it and what else did you guys get for your clear liquid and full liquid phase? i forgot the other questions i wanted to ask but if i think of any ill post them in here

gum does help, i got the new 5 gum sour-sweet (:

thanks, my mom want to buy a new scale but i think the up stairs scale is off by one i wont know til friday when i go get my surgery if they weigh me

you're welcome (:

i heard from another thread that the Tanita HD351 is a good and accurate scale. i have two scales and they say different things one upstairs says 224.5 and the one down stairs says 219.0. i want to weigh and measure myself every fridays but i cant weigh myself unless i know i have a good and accurate scale. i know i said i wasnt going to weigh myself til i go for follow up's or fills but id like to know every fri or every other

my surgery is friday as well feel the same way and i didnt tell anybody. the only ones that do know im going to be getting it done are my parents and thats it and if anybody does ask me how i lost weight i'm just going to tell them that i lowered my calorie intake to 1200 and exercised A LOT. to me, i dont think my friends need to know.

haha nice :thumbup:

my dad is the same way haha but he dont buy protein shakes lol ohh haha me too, i never really liked them when i was little but orange was my favourite, that gives me a good idea, i want some now they're prolly better than what i take, i got chewable multivitamins and its orange flavour, it makes me gag lol, but its alright if you drink water while chewing them, and i can buy my protein powder shake mix from my nutitionist and you get vitamins with it too, blahh (:

good luck (:!

i know right? the Clear liquids might be a lil tougher than the full liquids, but i found some recipies on here for all stages and they all sound good. wish i had a diff preop diet, the Protein shakes make me sickish blahh good luch everyone :skep:

haha, did you try it? i feel the same way and i felt the same way when i saw mine haha (:

and it doesnt matter how many miles you go right just how long you go?

thanks, i hope it helps, the shakes get to the point where im on the urge of vomitting, sucks

its almost here :biggrin:

my surgery is the 31st too, but i dont know whats the best to have, i found these super whey protein shots at walmart and it has 26 grams of protein in it and 110 cals, fruit punch flavour, they're ok but you might like them but im not sure if itll keep you full since i didnt really try it(only a sip) try adding ice to your protein powdered shakes like make them milk shake thick, that kept me full for a while and i had one protein shake today and im not even hungry right now. im so nervous too but more excited than anything ^^

omg there's people having it on the same day as me!! sweet!! haha anyways its so weird because i feel great today! and i feel like im cheating because yesturday i had two strawberries, today i had a cup of brocolli(30 cals 2g pro), and tomorrow im having half of a turkey sausage(70 cal 7.5g pro) but im getting all the cals i need and all the Protein i need, is this bad? i feel kinda bad...): total cals i had today are 980 and total protein i had were 80 tomorrow's total cals are 925 and protein is 85.5 grams of protein i was told i needed to be under 1000 cals and 80 or more grams of protein and that i needed to follow a low sugar protein rich liquid diet for the 9 days before surgers is this ok? i feel so bad but i dont know, its just one different thing but im going back on track on monday i should still be ok right? i also think that what made me feel sick was putting too much ice in the Protein shakes ended up making them too thick
