Two of the many questions asked by endocrinologist when checking for thyroid problems are "are you cold when others are not and are you tired". I have been on thyroid for 35 years now and I always have to answer the same questions. You might want to a ask your doc.

Great job thanks for posting.

The coroner’s report revealed the mysterious death of a seemingly healthy 38-year-old woman. Dr. L. Parks died of streptococcal sepsis, or blood poisoning, due to a “massive” intra-abdominal infection, said Bob Dempsey, coroner for San Miguel County in Colorado. “The infection was due to complications of gastric banding,” he said. “She had the surgery three weeks before she died, during he first week of November.” Found this and I thought I would post it to this older thread.

Wow! So sorry to hear you are having so much trouble like it isn't stressful enough just waiting to have the surgery and being on the pre-op diet! :thumbup: But now take a deep breath and think positive. I had similar issues, not with me but doc and insurance getting there act together. I will all be praying that it all goes well and the 10th will still be your big day. Happy thoughts and wishes. Cindy band day the 16th

I do not think caffeine is the culprit, I only drink one cup but not every day. I was thinking maybe lack of carbs?

Ok, I've started by pre-op diet yesterday had a headache most of the eve. Protein shake was better than I thought it was going to be. Day two has been interrupted. Found out they moved my colonoscopy(sp) to tomorrow so only clear liquids today. That ought to bring on the headache. I'm getting very very anxious about post banding life. I am trying to ignore it but had first cry last night. Anyone else getting or got that nervous? banding date the 19th.

OK I messed up this was for eyezchu22 Very nice video of yourself very young pretty. My B-Day is 11-16-09 Wishing you well, Isn't this exciting wish I had done it about 6 years ago. Any way to our future!!!!!! cindy

I just bought the Montel Williams food emulsifier any one else? You can cream and make vegetable soups that come out hot right from the blender. I thought this would be good to use post op for full liquid and mushy stages. And later to get more vegetables in. Should we not make fruit smoothies I keep hearing no homemade smoothies.

Hi November 16 is my date to be banded. Any one from the Conroe, Tx area? I had been waiting for ins approval for so long that I called to check and was told they had not received anything on me, so called Doc and started all over. This gave me to much time to think about it, now I am back in panic mode! I am still looking forward to the weight loss.

Thanks so much for your replies. I have been very panicky about this every time I eat something. I obsess on the fact that I may never eat this again and I hate it. And yes the latest was at Olive Garden soup and salad and yes bread, lol Thanks for you encouraging words hope all is well for you all.

It is the one and only thing I keep thinking about. I will try to focus on the positive outcome instead, Thanks!

So far everyone is scared of the surgery but is anyone scared of the fact that you will be giving up certain foods forever. This is my pre-op fear am I being dumb or just that addicted to food.
