  1. Thats funny. Ive been doing the exact same thing and actually told my husband yesterday that I felt like I was getting ready to have a baby. lol. . " nesting syndrome" , exactlyyy.. I wonder why that is? lol Ive been cleaning out my pantry, cabinets, closets, everything.. its so strange. I did this before I had both my kids. Its bringing back memories. Glad I'm not alone in this . cheers. and good luck :thumbup:
  2. I am dyingggg.. Im on the 2nd, almost 3rd day of this 2 week liquid diet and its really hard. I have a migraine but cant take Excedrin or anything that will actually make it go away. Im only allowed Tylenol. This sucks. I feel like I'm dying. I wanna eat real food. even like cream of wheat or applesauce. anything besides chicken broth and SF pudding/ jello. Drinking stuff makes me feel like throwing up. Am i being a wuss? or did anyone else have this much trouble??
  3. I'm on the first day of my liquid diet and doing ok, but it is harder than i thought. I think its all in my head? I keep drinking hot tea and basically wishing it was surgery day already . lol I hope I can do this for 13 more days.. eek !!! wish me well =]
  4. i was diagnosed with PCOS about 3 years ago. The Metformin made me so freakin sick that I stopped taking it like 3 months after they gave it to me. It didnt seem to help anyways. Im hoping that the weight loss in general from the lapband will help me alot . I get it in a few weeks. i cant wait
  5. I want to meet up with you guys too. Let me know when/ where / whatever =]
  6. my doctor still keeps asking me if " im sure" about lap band , as opposed to bypass. he says " its not too late to change your mind" . ( im scheduled to have my lapband on feb. 19 ) I hate the way he asks me that. It really makes me second guess my choice and makes me wonder if he maybe knows something i dont know? I dont want to fail. I want to choose the right surgery for me. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this decision? Dont say to do my research, because believe me when i say I HAVE !! but the bottom line is that i really dont care which one. I kind of like the less invasive-ness of the lap band, but Im open to everyones opinion. I only want to have WLS once.
  7. I havent been banded yet.( not till next month ), but I didnt really know you COULD binge eat with the band. so im a bit confused =/
  8. I get to start a 2 week liquid diet next week. I am worried. I usually get really sick when I dont eat. =/ Not looking forward to the headaches and nausea. sigh.
  9. sounds like half the women in Orange County and LA. lol. hey. i live here. i see it on a daily basis. im allowed to say that.
  10. I think you should go for it. Im barely 5 feet tall and about 200. I was covered by insurance. You wont know till you try :cursing:
  11. Ive been thinking that constantly. Ive been bouncing the thought back and forth constantly, wondering if maybe I should just go ahead with the full bypass instead. ?? I wonder if alot of ppl wrestle with the same thoughts?
  12. My surgery date is on the 19th as well !! :cursing: I am so excited . I tried my first protein drink today and threw up. lol i still have that disgusting taste in my mouth and am wondering how im gonna get my protein intake. sigh.. I bought the ones from Costco that someone from support group recommended. They had told me they were good. They LIED !!! lol what other ones can i try ?
  13. yes. they do. but Im having my surgery in LA at Cedar Sinai and dont want to drive out there just for support meetings. too far. looking for something closer
  14. I am also just getting started. I am having my surgery on Feb.19, 2009 . in just a few weeks !! Anyone know of any local meetings in SBdno or Riverside County ? the only one i have heard of is in Rancho Cucamonga. Are there any other ones??
