Greattttt workout!!! We do have issues with hair care and working out. That is a pain I always have to resort to the dreaded ponytail when I workout:thumbdown:

Well I could have sworn I posted someting yesterday via my cell phone but maybe t didnt go through. The surgery went very well I really havent had any pain some discomfort and thats about it:biggrin: Feeling good, walking, drinking, and taking vitamins!

Hey Kris Praying for you! Please check in when you can!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks so much!!! I will check in asap! Congrats on the 18 pounds!!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Well I am finally back from Pre-op. It went well I lost the 10 pounds!!!:cursing::thumbup: Right on the nosethank God! I had to give more blood, reviewed my cat scan its not a hiatal hernia its another kind I told her to leave it she said there is a great posibility that beacuse it is big nothing will get caught in there its the small ones doctors worry about. So she claimssss the pain will be very slight I till made her give me an Rx for pain meds. All my labs look good and my blood pressure was actually very low:thumbup: Still not nervous or scared so I guess thats good!:tongue:

GOOD STUFF!!!:thumbup: I plan to get in something tonight possibly spin class if the weather holds up today! Welcome!!

Have a great day!!! Best wishes looking forward to your updates!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Glad to hear you are all doing so well!!!:thumbup::w00t:

THANKS!!

Great post thank you! My date is 1/30 next Friday..well really THIS Friday it feels weird like it hasn't hit me yet hoping I don't have a panic attack in the OR lol but this was nice to read!

SAY IT AINT SO!?! I am the only person on here having surgery on the 30th?!! Ahhh well!

Whyyy am I sick :thumbup: I take a communter bus to work and someone was coughing on Thursday it was just a sore throat and now I nose is stuffed up beyond belief:frown::party: I found some new vblogs and two other people had colds and it didnt delay the surgery. I am trying to take everything I can to clear it up by Tuesday I am already going to be in hot water for not following the preop diet I was really hoping to get a few more good workouts but I can barely breathe :w00t::cheers2: Oh well I am going back to church its been a longggggg time but its time.

Hi there is anyone else ready for next Friday? :thumbdown: I have all my shopping done, the folks are coming on Thursday evening. How are you feeling? Did you get all your shopping done? I ordered the book Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band by Swell & Rohrbough I plan to read it throughout this week. Best wishes!!!

I am in the same boat!!!!:thumbdown: I hope it will be fine I am taking OTC stuff I feel fine just really nasal and a sore throat:mad: My pre-op is Weds so I hope I can be better by then!

Great! Thanks I forgot the jello!!:thumbdown:

Well less than a week to go! Yesterday I found out my therapist didn't send in my letter:cursing: I meannn I say her th evening before and she was the one saying oh its only a week away! A/w she got it done:cursing::thumbdown: But I did call the Dr.'s office on Monday to check to make sure they had everything and I was brushed off by the peson who anwered the phone :mad: I don't like last minute. I have BCBS and this year it has been changed and they need pre-certification before approval so waiting till the week before seems slacker-ish to me but whatever. I ordered the book Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band it finally came yesterday I am going to read it cover to cover. I am down about 6 pounds but now I caught a horrible cold:frown: and skipped the gym this morning I must go and workout though. I plan to go tomorrow to after church and before some volunteering I need to get done. Hope all is well!

:thumbup: How's everyone? Good I hope! I made it to the gym on Tuesday after my follow up blood work at the hospital then home to watch Obama well him and the Mrs. she is so fly:thumbup: I want to be grown like that at 45!!!:smile: I was a lil po'ed today.. the one friend I told about my surgery I am 90% sure told another friend we have in common. She really just asked me what I decided to do about lapband b/c I mentioned it to her like last year and about my father taking to me about wls. I am po'ed about the way she did it... b/c it was more so to let me know he told her. In all my years of this weight loss journey SHE HAS NEVER ASKED ME ANYTHING..EVER...about losing weight never offered support or anything. Not in a bad way but its just not a topic we really get into. I think that is what has me upset b/c it wasn't a sincere thing. I eventually wrote her back (it was via email) telling her I am having it done same time as the henia next week. She wrote back saying ok good and dont be super woman have support there. That was even more proof he told her b/c I really only told him b/c I needed a ride home and he's the one tht suggested I ask my Mom to come. The deal is I don't feel ashamed but I dont want to broadcast it either mainly b/c I am just getting to the point of accepting that I need such drastic help. I am very independent and this still feels like giving up in order to get what I really want... if that makes sense. I've come to peace with my choice b/c ultimately my goals are to lose the weight and be healthier and I can't get it done without a real tool like surgery... I've tried and have good outcomes but they did not last. I need help but it just bothered me that he told her. I called him and asked him if he said anything to her... he asked why am I asking that:glare: I said well she made a comment that made wonder and I've only told him and my mom, dad and sister sooooo.... He said no he didn't. But I really didnt even have to ask... Anyhoo... tick tock. Still not feel nervous I did look at hernia surgeries on youtube not cute but a pretty basic...

Product Review- Protein is so important I have been looking for creative ways to get the 60 gms in while enjoying it. I found a whey protein mix-in packet Designer Whey Designer Whey Isolate 2go Orange Mango. It has 10 gms of protein it taste good and is 50 calories:thumbup: Designer Whey Isolate 2go Orange Mango by Designer Whey - VitaminShoppe.com

Well back from the gym. I went to Walmart to get a few more items from the list I posted. I was debating my gym time since the spin class is later so I went after Walmart and did 45 mins on the eliptical get it out of the way. I am mostly resting until later and doing laundry and cleaning up since the parental units :biggrin:will be here in 10 days. Geeeshhh time is flying by! I still don't feel weird or nervous not sure why but I guess it will sink in sooner or later. I have a hernia and I have seen a few more blogs and vlogs with info on that duo procedure. I'll just be glad to move foward. I found some old pics and I just shook my head I feel like I wasted so must of my life being obese I am just glad that it didn't hold me back fom my other goals and dreams. But I am just ready to not be this size anymore, be tired any more, have joint pain anymore, self image issuses anymore...

Just a quick check in. I went to Walmart then went ot he gym since I was out did 45 mins on the eliptical and came home. The spin class is at 5pm so I will go back later for that and maybe te hottub afterwards!

Just back from the gym:thumbup: I really only have two speeds 125 mph and 0. Like I don't do shades of grey my view on life is very black or white...like Spiderman said that is my gift and my curse. It makes me very on point in my life but things like weight loss you need to enjoy the shades of grey and to be forgiving to yourself. I am working on that. I did 2 classes Saturday and 2 today plus the eliptical:w00t: too much I know but it was a good workout. I cut back on food, watchng calories, drinking shakes and lots of Water. My friend and I hit up Coscto and I got fuze drinks, water, 100% fruit juice boxes and calcuim chews. I did order my Kit it has multivitams, protien, and clacium for the first month that ran me about 100 dollars. I ordered unjury 2 big ones chocolate and unflavored and some samples of strawberry and vanilla to try them out. That's all for now!

Oh cool! I been waiting for a lapband twin lol What kind of pre-op diet are you on?

Hi All!:yikes: I must admit Adkins as never my fave diet yesterday I had the worst headache by 4pm:cursing: I don't do pain and for the most part I stee clear of any and all issues that would bring pain my way:rolleyes: I said let me go to Wendys and get a Jr. bacon cheeseburger and take off the bun then I said let me get 2 b/c there was a lot of traffic and I was starving I swear before I knew it I inhaled :tongue_smilie:BOTH burgers with the buns. O my goodness they tasted like manna from heaven. I called my sister to confess. I told her I was reading through the paperwork I had to sign and if I dont lose enough the Dr. can opt to do open surgery vs. lasp. eeekkk:scared2: I did do the treadmil last night. I slipped again today b/cthere was an office party I had a sandwich and 2 ok 3 pieces of cake... :wink: I tried to stop at one but I should know better that first bite is a slippery slope. I did cook tonight and packed lunch for tomorrow. I called my old gym buddy and we are planning to workout this weekend. :crying: and on Monday. I went to the sneaker sports store on the way home and I invested in new pair of Brooks and good socks. I am taking my multi and filled my Vitamin D Rx I hope I feel a difference soon. Tomorrow back on track. I am PMSing and in the past I'd be eating all day so I am glad that I am at least sticking with some of the plan. That's all for now! :tt1:

Excellent reminder! Looking forward to your updates!! Best wishes!!!
