My weekend was pretty good, I went drunk bowling w/some friends on saturday.... i didn't mean to get drunk its just since the band, my tolerance has went to crap lol. Sunday, I got my taxes done and cleaned the house. This daylight savings time kinda through off my morning. Oh love your new pics!

Nope I started monday on mushies. Very soft mushies, next week I can go to a little bit more lumpy food.

Oh I know OMG!! I started my pre-op diet yesterday basically I'm on the Atkins diet so no more rice! I did find a pretty good alternative though, cauliflower! I just put in my food processor so it came out like rice. It was actually pretty good :-) And yes I'm both more excited than nervous though. I can't believe in less than 2 weeks its happening!

Oh ok right after me. My surgery went very well now i'm just trying to get through my monthly gift from nature... i swear this is more painful than the surgery right now. I'm just all uncomfortable. How was yours?
-
oh thats cool but thanks for writing me back! I can't believe I have 3 weeks left before I'm banded! I'm so excited and nervous.
-
Oh wow yea your schedule is messed up. That's good that they are making sure that your healed before filling you. Have you lost anymore weight?
-
OMG i can't believe that have you on liquids for so long. I actually get to start some solids next week. I've lost about 3 more lbs but now i'm just stabilizing i think its with introducing more foods. I cant wait to really start working out, i know that will help more with my weight loss. I'm glad you get to eat real food in a couple days!

Omg it hurt so bad!! lol that needle was huge!! i feel a little restriction but i'm still able to eat way more than they said i would. they said about 4 oz... i'm eating at least 6-8oz per serving... how have u been? and thank you!!

so i had my pre-op testing today so far everything is still good and they told me my time (10:30 am on 2/16) this is all so exciting!! i cant believe just a couple more days!!! hows everything with you?

So I'm officially a bandster!!!! And what a day! I was scheduled at 10:30 was told to be at the hospital at 8:30 didn't actually go under until 1:30 and wasn't released until 6:45 b/c I was so dehydrated I couldn't pee. However, my doc did say I was his best patient today b/c I did really well on my pre-op. He said my liver was so small he didn't even have to move it to put the band on and that saved him an additional 20 mins ( which explains the delay of why I wasn't seen for hours later) I'm in a little pain right now where the port is and i have some gas in my shoulders. All in all though this all so worth it so far! Oh and I lost 9 lbs on my pre-op! I'm feeling very proud of myself. I didn't cry a lot before like I thouht I was. I'll be honest I did tear up when my mother-in-law and hubby had to leave me..But after that i was good. How have you been?

So my 2nd fill was a lot better, definently didn't hurt as bad as the 1st one. I'm not really feeling as much restriction as I thought I would, but I'll really be able to tell when it comes time to eat more solid food. Congrats to you on losing that 4lbs! I do believe you will make it under 230 very soon. It is more difficult since your schedule is very hectic but I still think you can do it. Talk to you soon!

Thank you Debbie for checking up on me. Congrats on your 34lbs!!! I've gained back a couple pounds but I'm noticing a pattern, I gain right before my fill. I get my 2nd fill on tomorrow. I go to the gym with my husband at least twice a week. We try to go more often but by the time we both get off from work we're so tired. I think you're doing great. I told myself I wanted to lose 15lbs by may 5 bringing my down to 207 but it doesn't look like I'm going to make it. I hope that fill kinda jump starts the weightloss again
