Thanks so much! So far, so good. I have some discomfort when I move at times, but nothing awful at all! I have the gas-x strips, and I'm walking... The nagging shoulder pain is annoying, but gas-x really helps. I am sipping on water and crystal light much as I can, and 2 oz protein shake 3x/day. I hope I am ready for work monday too!

How r u Janelle??? I'm banded! Craziness!! I went in at about 9:15 a.m.... Was in recovery by about 10.... And got home close to 11:45 a.m. I'll write more later--about to get up for a walk then rest some more. So far so good!!!

Aww, I totally needed this post: thanks Wendy!! I just did pre-op paperwork... Just waiting to be called back!

Checking in for pre-op! Whew~

I can't sleep! LOL

Thank you msdv, I appreciate that! Wow-- tomorrow!!

I made some curtains today and go them hung, and put up my word wall--i am calling my room DONE! It looks awesome. I was told the same thing re:nothing after midnight... But no last meal! LOL- I want to know what you decide on! I have to be there at 7:30 in the morning!! Wow!

I got my phone call! I have to be there at 7:30 a.m. Tomorrow! WOW!! This tomorrow I'll be banded!!

Did you get your date wildbill??

OMG is right! LOL~ crazy right?!? How are you doing??? My room is almost finished. Arisa- how are you?? 11 kiddo's and one para?? Wow! Prayers for you. I will have 8 and 2 paras. I'm working hard on my room too. 2 1/2 more days!! Yikes!

Good luck tomorrow!!! I can't wait to hear all about it. I have 2 1/2 more days!! Crazy!! Friday the 13th come on!

Hi y'all! I hope everyone is doing well. I spent most of the week working in my classroom trying to make sure I am all done by surgery day! It's nuts that in 1 more wk I'll be getting banded!! :-D craziness!!

It's definitely difficult, ms_mention...~ I find I want a taste of everything! LOL~ I'm trucking along...... not really looking forward to the weekend. Much harder to stay on track when not as busy! Ah well..... How's everyone?

I do~ Pin: 311AF16A

Thanks for the advice onmyway-i appreciate it. What did you take for variety to sip on...? Did you measure and keep track of those drink too? I thought I might do that too. Makes sense that if you show the doc what you are eating and drinking, your fill shld be "accurate". ms_mention: I also taught Kindergarten for 8 years. :blushing: yet another link. :cool2: how's your pre-op diet going??

Awesome ms_mention! I teach PPCD. I am also fixing up my room right now so I can focus on recovery and things like planning, etc post-op! Please keep in touch!!

Wow- really?? That's amazing. How did you feel going back to work on your liquids, etc.?? WildBill- I'm Michelle. :blushing: I am having my surgery by Dr. Benavides here in San Antonio w/True Results. I'm excited for us! I bet you will not have any problems either--not like you need to be lifting little ones daily. I still can't decide about telling the staff......

I think the EAS AdvantEDGE tastes pretty good.... It's more "head hunger" I'm fighting! I've been working in my classroom a lot--that's helping... Staying busy. :blushing: still trying to decide if I am going to tell others at work about the surgery. I don't want to "keep it a secret"... But I don't want to be the campus discussion either! LOL

Oooh yay, WildBill! Very cool. :tt2: you will have to keep me posted on how you are doing! I think we can do this. Just have to hope we are both the lucky ones! :blushing:. I have a super high pin tolerance and am choosing to be very optimistic. :cool2: thanks for posting!!

Congrats tylee! :thumbup: Congrats mmmakala! Glad it went to awesome for you! Sooo exciting!

Yep~ hopefully! I am sure I will... I tend to lay in bed at night with my phone and can update then. :thumbup: How are you doing? I am sick of protein shakes. LOL

I went in today to begin working on my classroom since I go back to work RIGHT after my surgery! Man...it made it so real today... Preparing... :wub: so fun! it usually takes me a few days just to place the furniture how I want it... Nevermind the set-up and decorating!!!... Apparently I am WAY excited b/c the furniture set-up is COMPLETE! Heh.... Bring on the band!

Hi y'all! I am set for Aug 13th for my surgery! I am doing 2-3 EAS AdvantEDGE shakes daily along w/1 meal of chicken and green veggies. I am being banded by Dr. B at True Results here in SA, TX.
