  4. Hey Trish,

    I wouldnt worry about having a little something. we are all human and lets face it this preop is not human! hahhahahahahahhaha

    i had a beautiful Moms day. My hubby and boys brought me my fav in bed. Starbucks coffe yummie. and he included a blueberry muffin. he said its moms day you can cheat. i had a several small pieces . i gave the rest to my boys. i just want to be cautious. dont want to ruin my chance of having surgery.

    and last night i had 3 small pieces of steak.

    i love steak that is one thing i will miss.

  5. Good Morning,

    well from my end. hahhahah how many hours difference there is i think its about 12 right? or am I off?

    here i am converting KG to LBS. this early. I also want to lose that much wieght.

    ZUMBA:

    yes its a dance type class you can see it here online. its so much fun.

    I think one of the first things i want to do when i lose weight is get in shape and be able to hike with my boys. this past summer we did a trip in the moutains and i was about to die. hahahhahahah i was so tired walking up the hills. sounds funny. but my city is very flat!.

    i dont think i have lost that much weight. but i have to say i am so happy with my choice so far. i feel great already.

    how much weight would you like to lose?

    i have surgery next week i can not wait. i can not believe its almost here.

    what is Cordial? i looked it up online it doesnt sound good. LOL!

    crystal light is very yummie.

  7. Hi there, i will be banded on the 14th of May, i am on day 8 of optifast. i have to say its not that bad. i am full i think now its just head hunger and the smell of food.

    how is your optifast going?

  8. I live in Tampa, FLorida ,USA. i see you are from South Australia .

    Yesturday i had 3 optifast and that was it , and today i am on my 2nd one. I am allowed up to 5.

    some days i need more. for me its the smell of food that gets me.

    i have always been a big eater, i just love food.

    i like all the flavors and i like them very cold.

    Crystal Light is a sugar free drink. Crystal Light Lemonade, 8.7-Ounce Unit (Pack of 5): Amazon.com: Grocery

    i usually get the powder drink and mix it in the water bottles.

    Our grocery stores run good sales buy one get one free . they usually run around 3.40 a box of 12.

    all flavors, my fav are the lemondade.

     

    i still havent gotten a call from anyone. next week i have to go for preop.

     

    nice chatting.

  9. Hey Jen, i am on my 6th day of liquids also. My surgery is on May 14th. i cant wait.

    May 1st Banders...How did it go?

    So glad to know that everyones Surgery went well. Can't wait till mine May14th. Good luck everyone :tt2::thumbup::thumbup:
  11. Hang in there, remember you are the only one who can make this decision. no matter what they say or think its your body and you know whats best for you. My father wasnt supportive of my decision, didnt surprise me one bit. he told me what he felt. and first thing out of his mouth was a story of men who dead from the gastro surgery. I told him that was a diffrent procedure from the lapband. but that was that, he didnt mention it again. Everyone else has supported my decision. Of course the comments are there, are you sure, wow you will be giving up lots of foods. I hope you can find someone at home or around you that can be supportive, and use this website. Maybe after you go thru the procedure they will see you will be happy with yourself and mostly become healthier.and will support you. Many people do not understand the struggles of losing weight and especially keeping it off. Good luck in your journey.
  12. Hey Trish,

    well today has been my 5th day.

    I am doing optifast. no food at all.

    I can do up to 5-6 opitfast in a day, along with water, any sugarfree drink, crystal light, sugarfree popsicle and sugar free gum/jello. I have to say it keeps me full. i do drink my cup of coffee in the morning with lowfat milk and splenda. and an hour or hour and half after i drink an optifast. i am really surprised at myself. i even cooked dinner for my boys. i did cheat, i tasted two pieces of noodles. and i had a small spoon of ground meat.

    i havent weighed myself and dont plan on it until i go in to my doc.

    my husband went out of town for 4 days and he noticed my face looked somewhat thinner.i didnt belive him, but he said i didnt look swollen. i guess its all the water i have been losing. boy do i go pee. hahahahhahahah

    i have to say its easier than i thought. THANK GODQ!

    so my 5th day is almost over yippee. going on day 6. I

  13. HI TRISH,

    I will be banded on the 14th as well, just started on the optifast yestruday. i see you are on your 4th day.

    i feel my body will be going thru some detox of carbs as my hubbie says. but this is for the best , i need to get healty.

    i am also kinda nervous but i dont let my self think about it. in fact i try and not think about it at all. just go with it. i am keeping my self busy very busy. i have a list, cleaning out closets , bedrooms, toy boxes , going thru my kids clothes and getting rid of stuff they dont use anymore. i have decided to keep my brain thinking of other stuff rather than the stuff i can not eat.

    hopefully it will work. Yesturday during the time i usually cook dinner , i fed the kids some quick meal and put in a movie and sat and watched it. it truley took my brain away from food.

    funny as it may sound. i guess every little bit helps.

    WE can do it!

    Pre-op diets?

    My husband told me my body will be dextoxing from all the Carbs its so used too! i started laughing " food junkie" but its so true! i felt so tired and sleepy yesturday. I didnt feel hunger in fact i felt full and couldnt get my mind to drink more than 3 shakes yesturday. I do need to up my Water intake, with being full i only had one bottle of water and another one of of crystal light. hopefully today i can drink more or tell my brain that i can. i also have a headache this morning. will try some black coffee and tyenol. this being my 2nd day:thumbup: :thumbup:wow sbush 12 pounds lost that is awesome. hang in there spidey mom i know the feeling.

    Pre-op diets?

    My first day on the preop! I started my day with a cup of black coffee and splenda. an hour later i drink 1 optifast shake. followed it with a water bottle. it has been about 4 hours and i am so full. i dont know how I will be able to drink another shake. i guess i have to force myself sometime soon. my doc recommends to drink 5 a day along with water and crystal light. So being the first day not too bad. My approach is dont even think about it and do it! good luck to everyone! :biggrin::thumbup:

    Breakfast

    I will be banded in May. And very excited and nervous at the same time. Just want to get some suggestions of breakfast food. I usually am a coffee/muffin person in the morning. I know breads are out of the question. so i just want to know what everyone eats for breakfast or do you pass on it? thanks.

    Mirena

    I got the Copper IUD 6 years ago and love it. I had bad cramps and heavy periods about the first year or so. it took some getting used to i have to admit. I usually take ibuprofien right before i start my period. All and All i think its the best form of BC. It last 10 years by then i will be almost 40 my doctor suggest i get another one placed. Good luck
