GOOD MORNING! I love that sweater Suzie! the fiberone poptart exchange was so funny!!! MOM got out of surgery and recovery later than I thought she was still groggy last night so I'm waiting til mid morning before I call them to check on her. Her liver was fine and everything looked good! YAY!

I think it depends on the surgeon. I would Call them first before driving..... but good luck!!!! There used to be a pretty active thread on here for Low BMI bansters.

Congrats to you and your sister!!!!! HOW EXCITING! My mom is currently IN SURGERY in Denver getting her band.. RIGHT NOW! which is why I'm perusing the general forumn! I have an extended family member who went to Mexico for his band and he's had one fill so far! He said the hospital was as nice as a 5 star hotel. GOOD LUCK!

First of all............ READ READ READ.... Second.. your band has NOT BEEN TURNED ON YET! You will need to get fills for that to happen and for you to feel restriction. Third.... the first 5 weeks is meant to HEAL THAT PUPPY INTO PLACE... be easy on it, follow the food progression of clears to mushies, any weight you lose in this healing period is a bonus! Fourth... When the swelling from surgery goes down and your hunger returns AND you haven't had a fill.... you are in what we call "BANDSTER HELL" be patient, and follow up with your fills!

I would say in the states you do not qualify, but you would possibly qualify other countries as a LOW BMI bandster... (do a search for Low BMI bandsters and you will get feedback) I'm closing in on my 2 year bandversary and I would be REBANDED in a heartbeat if needed.

I am going NUTZ waiting for my step dad to call with the news!!!!!! 60 oz if water is gone! getting ready for my next 30

PAM: I'm putting mine on my keyring :wink: MOM IS SCHEDULED for SURGERY IN 8 minutes!!!!!!!!!! I've done good today on eating..... 2 pc string cheese 1 pc deli turkey 1 cup of chili 1 sf pudding 1 glass of water (getting ready to fill again)

HIYA Heather! Thanks JUDY!!! I'm going to the bathroom to look at my throat because I it did start hurting all of a sudden and hasn't quit.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Welcome Carson! My moms name is Linda.. I just talked to her she is supposed to check in the hospital in 40 minutes! My throat is really scratchy....... how do I tell if I am coming down with Strep??

Jane: HUGS WOMAN!!!! My mom goes into surgery at 1PM Colorado time!!!! My throat is getting scratchy.. I HOPE I DID NOT CATCH my bosses strep throat! I will be so pissed! 181.2 today........ staying LC gotta get some water in me though........ none yet today.

My Mom and Stepdad are at the HOTEL IN DENVER!!!! & Heading to Dr. K's office in an hour! Surgery tomorrow @ 1pm :bored::eek:

Happy Happy Happy Sleepy Sleepy Sleepy Starting my 3rd glass of water! Yay Me! Mom's flight should be landing anytime!!!!!!! It's driving me crazy, I wish I was with her!!!!! She keeps thinking she will get on the operating table and they will not do the surgery because her liver is too fat. (which is why I told her to stick to the PREOP) AHHHHHHHHHHH I want everything to go good for her!!!! I haven't really told her exactly HOW BIG the fill needle is! LOL

LOL!!! I know....... (re: internet stalker) I almost didn't read the myspace message because it started "I'm really NOT a stalker!"

My version of happy pills are "Celexa" supposed to take the edge off. My boss takes the same medicine but his dose is 60 mg while mine is 20 mg. I can't really tell a difference except that I don't cry so easily and that I tend to deal with stress better.... meaning I don't fly of the handle, and I don't think I had the normal PMS moodswings last time.........

I am eating string cheese and deli turkey breast.... I am starting on my 2nd 30oz's of water....... I am cold...... high of 29 today! I had an email from myspace for someone who's "known" me or read me for 6+ years online..... she used to frequent LCF and then saw me on my surgeons website.. she found me in myspace and messaged me..... SMALL WORLD! Smaller even that she works right down the street from me.

Checking in real quick.. Day 3 of making LC choices.... Scale 182 today

I thought we were naming HER Violet?!

I am TRYING TRYING ......... I did slip and have HALF a choco chip bagel!!!!! Can you believe that I DID NOT PB on a freaking bagel???? Thank the lord I had the strength to throw the fat half in the trash! So I count that as a small victory. I've had two glasses of water so far and getting ready for my third as an effort to wash the evil bagel out of my system! I must prepare for LC at work tomorrow! I have pretty much NOTHING quick and easy and LC... I too do the ... I will be happy just to be under 200 dance..... the size 12 goal...... now getting p.o.'d when the 12's AREN'T LOOSE..... it is amazing that 10 pounds 174-184 makes such a huge difference in clothes... OK.. going to refill the infamous pink glass

Haydee: Generic for Celexa.......it's on the Walmart $4.00 LIST........... best .40 I've ever spent!!!!!! I just called in my refill. :angry_smile: Jane: IT'S SNOWING AND BLOWING IN KC! Not really sticking yet. They are calling for 1-3 inches.

Denise: Sorry about the miscarry! Also, I love pitty's and rotties, its the owners not the dog. Dog temperments vary in each dog..... just like people.... My back is finally feeling a bit better. Scale back down to 184.4 today...... see this is how crazy my body fluctuates!!!! NUTS Day two of LC......... Terry I love that new pic, but I already told you that... and I need to order something from you to send on to my secret sister in CA (She is into the earth based elements) Thinking dangly earrings or something..... I don't know

Well, now I'm just being silly!............. I'm laughing at myself!

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!! really the last post for the night!

Stop.. why stop a good ramble?????????? Robby's meds have been upped by 10mg.. but he still had a meltdown today..... at the very end of the day..... I gave him the higher dose on Saturday so I could see what it did, and it did greatly mellow him out......but man the down time was more evident too.. it's like a switch of hyperness turns on....... the guilt.... but he is able to focus more....... but still the guilt...... ok...... I'm going to sign off for the night before you all get so bored you fall over on your keyboard........ :wink_smile:

I know I've been a bad violet........ such a head case at times............ I am so damn pissed at myself for this regain..... TracyK is on my shoulder slapping me with the I TOLD YOU SO's!!!!! in her sweet southern drawl... but so OK.. this is my pattern of self sabotage...... I ate the damn pizza and had a freaking orgasm with being ABLE to eat it!!!!!!!!!! Does this condemn me for the rest of my life.... NO.. it means that I have to get the fire that my mom is now having..... as a pre-bandster......... can you believe she is LECTURING ME on what I'm doing wrong!!!!!!!!! Her doc this her doc that! I'm biting my lip because she is right and I don'twant to rain on her 1st year parade.......... ya know........ I'm rambling........... the no food and the two drinkeepoo's are having me ramble..... Gnight

LOL!!!! Thats a lot of potatoes!!!!! So sayeth the bandster who is on DAY ONE Of LC!!!! LOL!!! Hey so, my mom and my sister are telling me that they can tell that I'm on happy pills....... my sister actually CALLED me today to tell me that I'm annoying her by not sending dramatic emails all the time! LOL.. she wanted to know what the hell was going on! It was my mom telling me that it was the same time I started selexa.... LOL.. she said she can tell ... that I'm not letting the little stuff get to me anymore! I started laughing... but I guess thats good right? I am in my room. I made it through the graizing gaze just now in the kitchen...... I did not stop by the pails of fudge or Peanut Butter balls...... I threw away last nights pizza leftovers...... I did not touch the spoon of scalloped potatoes on the stove.. that was begging for a taste...... I MADE IT THROUGH DAY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!! success......... (except for my drinkeepoo) LC but could cause a stall I guess......... but I made it through day ONE! 189 can kiss my everloving ass! Oh.. and thanks JUDY and TRacy.. I got cards today! :wink_smile: I love my violets....... oh and the bit of bad news.......... Charles and Cody's Colorado scout trip got moved to 3rd session, so now i'm going to have to broach the subject... but AFTER I come home from FL alone.... in March! LOL
