Hey chica I haven't heard from you in a while. How have you been? How much have you lost?

Hey I just wanted to check on you to see how your surgery went. I hope you're doing well.

Thank you! So far TX isn't too bad. The weather is kinda annoying but the drivers are even worse. I grew up in germany most of my life so when it comes to driving I drive the Germany way meaning I honor the right of way and when it comes to merging we do a zipper like affect; the car on the left goes then the one on the right. Here I've seen two cars try to merge on one road at the same time and naturally it caused an accident and then because everyone wants to look instead of paying attention another accident happened right after. Other than that, I like it.

Anyway, I've been bugging my doctor's office everyday trying to find out the status of my surgery date. Basically some lady still has to put everything together. I don't know why its taking her so long . Well I gotta get back to work talk to you soon!

Have you gone back to work yet?

Thank you for the add!

I just wanted to stop by and say congrats on being banded. I too will be banded 2/16. I'm glad to hear you're doing ok. Good luck to you on your journey and keep in touch

Well my surgery was scheduled at 10:30 and I had to be there at 8:30. When I got there they weighed me and I lost 9 lbs!! Yay! I didn't actually get my surgery until about 1:45 b/c they were running behind. Now I'm going to be honest I thought that my surgery was going to be canceled since they had me on the lc/lf high protein diet and didn't realize how many carbs were in fruits. I drank apple and orange juice had bananas and clementines. I cut out all the pasta, bread and rice but I really thought that fruit was going to mess me up. Well after my surgery my husband talked to my surgeon and he said that i did great on my pre-op and that my liver was so small he didn't even have to move it! Also that saved him an additional 20 mins. So I'm thinking the people before me didnt do as well as i did on my pre-op. today I'm just like you, sore & I'm having those gas pains in my shoulder and I feel like I'm having difficulty breathing. Other than that we're in bandland!

Hey chica just checking up on you. I haven't heard from you in a while. Hows your liquid diet going? Are you still in pain?

hola mamacita! how have you been?

Hey chica! Just checking in on you, how have you been?

Hey just stopping through. I had my surgery yesterday. So far everything is ok. Just a little sore at the port site and i have gas pains in my shoulder but other than that I'm good.Oh and I lost 9 lbs on my pre-op diet!!! How have you been?

hey just checking in on you! How are you?

I waited until about the middle of the my third week, so basically last week. I'm glad that everything is going down fine for you. I still have to learn to eat slow.

Hey girl are you ready??? I haven't from you for a while. Well I hope your doing good and just think tomorrow you will be in bandland!!! **Happy Dance**

hey girl just checking in on you how have you been?

Yes I'm excited for the change but nervous about the surgery and if I will fail. i know I shouldn't have thoughts like that in my head but I just want to be really successful. I'm aiming to lose about 90lbs within a year at most. I know its possible I just really hope its possible for me.

Aww I'm sorry that you weren't feeling well. I started back on monday and it was ok. I kinda twisted the wrong way so the area where my port is really tender. Other than that it wasn't so bad. My doc told me if you have a more strenous job such as your's that you should wait at least 2 weeks before returning. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

I just saw your post in the before/after pics!! You look amazing!! Congratulations! You are such an inspiration!

Congrats!! If you don't mind me asking where were u banded? I will be banded in Feb. and what was the hardest part for you throughout your experience?

Thanks for the pic comment!!!

Hey girl I was just checking in on you have you found out your date yet?

I'm actually on mushies now. Overcooked pasta and veggies, mashed potatoes no skin, vienna sauges. I'm doing fine reintroducing foods. I haven't had any nausea the whole time. The only problem I have right now is eating too fast. Trust me you will feel it if you do. It feels kinda like you really need to burp but you can't. Really bad pressure. I know you will do fine. Its good your having it so early in the morning. I'd rather had mine that way. I'll be thinking about ya tomorrow!

Hey my twin!! How are you? thanks for the pic comments So I get another fill this week and guess what... i gained a couple pounds again.. I'm seeing a pattern now lol. I just really want to get under 200 before the summer time, I need to start working out more though. I hope ur doing good. Hugs!!

My port is on my left side about four inches from my belly button. I'll be honest, I know I'm not getting all my protein like I should. Thats good they are being lenient on you at work. Have you had your post-op appointment yet?

I was only on liquids for a week. I'm sorry to hear your on liquids for long. It will get better and just think how much weight your losing right now!
