    · mymy · 01/25/2009 21:15

    I didnt sleep well last night besides my being sick I am really stressing. I have so much going on. I messed around and found a bunch of people that were banded and didnt lose a pound oh I dont want to even go there. How is that even possible? I guess I just had to keep looking for some horror stories and as they say seek and you shall find. I wont let that dicourage me I have heard more sucess stories. I havent heard alot of people 4 or 5 years out I am now curious about the long term. Just more shit for me to stress about. I will be ok. I know all I ever needed was a tool I am not looking for a mircle just a little help and thats what the band will be for me. I know I am the one that must work out, make better eating choices. I am going to work this program and I am staring in this show my band is merly the co star. HELLO:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
  2. My Dr. gave what is called the pack treatment for five days of antibiotics. I am really hoping this will knock this cold out. I am too excited to sit in the house so I went out got all that I need for my date hoping that my being prepared will some how assure my surgery date. I was really worried about my being able to find a source of protien that I like I really am not a shake person and 60 to 80 grams of protien are alot I went into GNC and i found a product called Pro Slam 45 yes it is good 45 grams of protien and only 3.1 ounces I cant believe how lucky I was I got the last box. I thought I would spend alot more time and money trying to find protien I could tolorate. Well I am going to continue to medicate rest and pray because I want so bad to make my date Jan.28,
     
     
  3. :thumbup: I cant believe i am really comming down with a cold sinus infection dam dam dam i knew this would happen i am sed. for the 29th and if i dont beat this before then i will have to re sed. i just dont want that. i will call my Dr, as soon as they open. I really dont want to tell them i just hope and prat i can kick this before tue. I am so pump right now i planned to do all my shopping preparations and now I just have to put that off and go straight home and medicate my self.:eek::confused::thumbup:
  4. Hello, well i had my pre op appt. yesterday and I am sooo happy I am ready to go. No doubt here. I asked all my questions and my Dr. is pretty cool (not to mention FINE :thumbup:) he answered every question in detail. I feel so comfortable. I am still worried that something will go wrong not so much during surgery but I am worried I wont get banded thats my biggest fear. I read a blog. and she woke up and her 1st question was did I get my band I feel her, best believe that will be my first question as well. My sinus are bothering me and I just cant let that be an issue I have to get that together I cant get a sinus cold, infection now I want to get this over with. I am ready. I dont have to go on that liquid diet b 4 surgery but I do have to take a serious laxitive the day b4:crying:. I will keep my food intake lite though.

  5. 8 days yeah

    · mymy · 01/20/2009 20:24

    :thumbup::thumbup:I am 8 days away from my band and I cant think of anything else. Weather its good thoughts or my just worrying. I am so greatful for this site. I feel as if i know so much more now and I am so much more prepared. I have a whole list of questions for my Dr. and tommorrow is my pre op oppt. When i first dealt with my Dr. he asked if i had any questions and i said NO i just didnt know what questions to ask. I just hope I can come back to work soon I plan to just take under a week off the only problem is i live an hour away and i hear so many people say they are so tired by the end of the day and i just dread the thought of my being tired and fighting traffic but if that is my biggest issue then i guess i will be lucky. i just cant wait untill i am the one loving my band hell i love it already.:tt1:
  7. Weii i am going through so much everything and everyone seems to piss me off. i should be happy celebrating i am weeks from my surgery date 1-28-09. i have not smoked in two weeks(on the patch) and i know that might have alot to do with my being sooo touchie. I think i am going to push my date back at least a week. i may need some med. because i am too emotional i either want to bite your head off or cry a river no in between. i have read almost every blog. and i havent found anyone with these type of issues. just a couple of dys ago i was so happy so excited. :thumbdown:

  8. soooooo excited

    · mymy · 01/15/2009 00:16

    Well Iam 14 days away from my new lease on life i am so excited. I cant lie i am just as worried. I find myself being obsessed with this site i am so greatful for all the information I have learned (some of the info i could have done without:sleep: ) I am not computer savy but i have a feeling after the next couple of months i will become a wiz at least at this site, I have been waiting for the band awhile and now i just cant believe it. One of my biggest concerns is the loose skin thing OMG that is one issue i cant bare to think about i heard so many horror stories. i am going to work out like crazy and pray i am one of the lucky ones. Ok i will keep in touch
