:rolleyes2: Hey everyone!! I'm out of the hospital, my hubby wanted me stay all night instead of coming home so I got home yesterday around 1:00p.m. I didn't wake up from recovery until 6:00 p.m. and he was nervous about me coming right after, so I stayed and was stuck with needles all night, checked my tempt all night, came in and, honestly, woke me up just to find out if I was in any pain!! So, why would I want go home and miss out on all that!! But I guess they were just doing their job! But anyway, so far I've not been sick and no problems with the gas built up. I've been walking around quite abit and I think that helps a whole lot! I'll be on liquids again today and then tomorrow, I'll be on soft foods. I go back Tuesday to get my staples out, I kinda dread that, I never had staples before! :cursing: But "they" say that their better than stitches, I just hope "they" know what their talking about!

Hey, B G, I've tried all morning to get on this and there are several things that are messed up. Hopefully, someone will get things back to normal!

Hey,B_G, I'm having the same problem and getting the same results. I went to your post from yesterday and clicked where you said to go for a few laughs and I got a message saying that the Server(???) was having problems with the blog page and that they were aware of it and trying to repair it. So maybe you can back to that post and see if you can figure it out. :scared2:

Hey, has anyone been having any problems getting onto their blogs? I have tried last nite and this morning and I can't get it to open up, I've tried searching for my name and I tried going to the top of the page and clicking on blogs. So if anyone canhelp, give me a holler!!

HEEEYY ALLLLL, got thru my test yesterday and everything turned out A.O.K. !!! I will be going in Monday, April 6, at 12:00 p.m. He said I could come home right after I wake up, if I'm not in too much pain. So I guess all this waiting is finally coming to an end and I can't believe the day is finally here!! I'll try to keep you guys posted on whats going on with me. We, Bunnies, are the BEST !!!

Hey everyone, I weighed in yesterday and lost 17 pds. on my pre-op diet!! I have to go tomorrow and have a scope put down my stomach to look for bleeding ulcers and I will know then if I can have my surgery or not. If he does find ulcers, he won't do it. So I guess, better safe than sorry!! Be sure and keep me in your prayers!!! I'll keep you posted!

Thanks sooo much for your advice, B_G!! I couldn't find a protein drink with the amount of protein I need with low sugar so I did buy the Atkins products as well as the Atkins protein bars, that mainly what I lived on my trip!! So I get up this morning and guess what!! I had BAD BAD diarrhea (sorry for not being tactful, just don't know any other way to put it)!!! So now I understand why! I've been looking at lots of sugar-free foods and all of them have more al-sugars than other sugar! Thank you so much, again! You are so special for all you do on this forum!!

Hey every one!! I made it back from my 3 day trip and it was AWESOME!! I did make good food choices, and ate my proteins first. I go back to the Dr. tomorrow, so I was to scared to mess up!! Do you know how embarrasing it would be to be on an 900 calorie diet and gain wt.!!! That would just be the most awful thing that could thing that could happen!! So anyway, I will know tomorrow how much wt. I've lost and I can (maybe post a loss!), haven't done that yet. Does anyone out there tell me what is alcohol sugar and should we be having it in our foods. I am finding low sugar or sugar free food that have sugar alcohol in them and often they are more than the sugar grams. I am so confused, HELP !!! Talk to ya later !

Hey everyone!! I'm back from my Branson trip!! It was so good , I didn't really want to come home, but as some one said, All good things must come to an end. I did go out 3 times to eat at a restaurant, and made good food choices and I did eat my proteins first, so I think I'm learning something!! :biggrin: I go the Dr. tomorrow so I really had no choice but to do good!! I sure didn't want to mess up all my hard work from the last few weeks !! Talk to ya later!!

Well time is rolling on! When I 1st started this, back in Aug. 08, I thought I would never see the end. It HAS been an experience :thumbup: Tomorrow will be 1wk.,I go see my Dr., then 2wks. my surgery!! I'm not to nervous right now,I'm the type of person that if I have to do something that is unpleasant, I just want to do it and get it behind me!! I 'm still on the pre-op diet and was really doing good until last nt.,we had potluck at Church and of course, everyone wants to bring their best and trust me, there was nothing healthy there!! So I just got a small portion of most of the chicken dishes,there was some veggies there but they were fryed ( I'm from the South and we fry EVEYTHING down here! ) So I hope I didn't do to bad! Well, I gotta go,I'm going fishing for 1st time this yr, I LOVE fishing, and I'm taking 3 of my grand kids,15, 8, and a 4 yr. old, probably won't get to fish much, but it will be fun anyway. :cursing:

Hey everyone! Good Morning!! My ins. also made me jump thru hoops. I had to see my PCP for 6 months in a row, see a Psc,a nutritionist,go to a support meeting,physical therapy, and after I did all that I had to wait about 2 wks. to get my answer back from the ins. Believe me when I say, I was so nervous!! I thought what if, after I have spent all this time on trying to get approval and then they no, not to mention the $$$$$$$$ getting all the things done!! Well I was at work when the Dr.s office called so I couldn't call them back until I went on my break ( I had to wait about 2 hrs. before I could call back!! ) and of all things, I was SCARED to call them!! But anyway I called and really couldn't believe I had been approved!! I kept saying "Are you sure, Are you sure" :party:Well I gota go. I'm going fishing for the 1st time this yr!! I'm taking 3 of my grandkids,15,8 and a 4 yr. old, not sure how much fishing I'm going to get to do but it'll be fun Talk to ya later!!

Hey there, BG,been reading some of your writings and you are HILLARIOUS, I'll bet you are so fun to be around!!!! I love all the extra things you add. Hey I even saved your " I peed my pants ", I'll probaly need that later when I need a pick me up moment! Keep on doing what you are doing, cause you are the best!! Oh by the way, my bday is April 24,and like you,I hope to be sipping on chicken broth( I think I will freeze and put a candle in it so I can blow it out!! Oh wait, I can't do that cause all the candles would just thaw it out!! ) lol Anyway I LOVE what you are doing.

Hey there, Lurker!! How exciting for you to get your date!!!! Why did you have to fight for it? My day is April 6 (hopefully, I had a test come back bad so I have to retake it on the 3rd, if it comes back bad again, my doc won't do the surgery!! ) But anyway be sure and check out the Bunny Bandsters thread, it is a place for eveyone who is going to ba banded in April to get together and meet and share our thoughts. It's a great place!!!! :smile:

Hey you guys!! My name is Sharon, I've been married to the same guy for 37yrs, have 4 WONDERFUL children and 10 Grandchildren( I have a t-shirt that says "If I had known how much fun grandchildren were, I would have had them first") and that is so true ,my children and now my gchildren are and have been my whole life!! That's maybe part of my problem, not taking any time for myself! So now at, age 55 IT'S MY TURN!!! I first started thinking about this in April 08 and went to my PCP in Aug. then to the Surgeon in Oct.08 and ever since then it's been to the Dr. at least 1 time a month. Right now my date is 04-06, but had a bad test come back so I have to take meds. for 2 wks. and retake the test and if it comes bad again, I can't have the surgery until I have a good report back. So here's hoping for a good test!! you guys keep me in your prayers! I so want this to happen on April 6 so I can be a Bunny Bandster!! You guys are the GREATEST!!

My Dr. said my surgery would be an out patient but if I have a pain problem then I will have to stay the night. I have high pain tolerance so I will probably be coming home. On my very 1st visit to the Dr., they took my before photo and sometimes they post them on their web site. Also about 15 yrs. ago I was walking every day and got down to 158 and felt wonderful so my PCP set my goal weight at 150. I'm 5' 2" but I'm at a time in my life that I don't care anything about being skinny, I just want feel good and not hurt in my knees and feet!!!

I've had a minor set back, I hope it's minor! One of my tests came back bad so now I have to take some meds, retake the test 04-03 and if it is stillbad, I can't have the surgery untill I get a good test!!:sneaky: I have to take 8 pills a day for 14 days and thats not counting my vit. No wonder I'm not hungry, I'm full of PILLS!!!!!! So here's hopeing this will work out alright!!

And I sure do miss him, but anyway I have BC/BS of Neb. and I've been approved for surgery on 04-06, so maybe you will get approval too. Keep in touch!
