Hello everyone, I'm almost 1 week postop, banded on 2.22.10. Everything has been fine up until today. I drank some of my shake and puked twice. Not sure why, but the muscles in my stomach werfe pulling at the port. Very painful I must say. Hope this doesnt happen again..Good luck everyone.

I was just banded on Monday and I'm going crazy! I'm sick of shakes, broth, jello..etc...lol! One more week and mushies will be like heaven!

I've heard of doctors having program fees but the highest that I've heard was 500 dollars. Not sure what the other 3500 is for..Not even sure what the 500 was for, but I switched and went to a surgeon that didn't charge anything extra. Good luck!

The Biggest Loser is a really good work out! I love it, it has the challenges and the eliminations just like the real thing...worth every penny...lol

Hello Ladies, I also have the wii fit. I would love to play online, I also have the biggest loser game...quite challenging!

Hello everybody, I am getting banded on the feb 22. I just wanted to say hello and wish everyone the best of luck on their journeys!

Thank you for welcoming me! Yes I'm on a pre-op liquid diet..I'm happy to be headed toward the losers bench :biggrin: I will search for this months group. Thanks again

I would like to join in on the challenge. I am being banded on 2.22.10! :biggrin: I would love to be a part of this!

Thank you all again for your responses. I go see the surgeon on Tuesday and I will see what happens. I can't just quit cold turkey, i've tried that and I obviously relasped. I will see what he says about the patch. I just want to get past this....

The funny thing is that I have quit for like a year being pregnant and it just seems like any stress will set me back..i'm trying to be stronger because they have gotten really expensive and i hate the smell..but for some reason it seems like a stress reliever at times..i'm trying to be strong, i don't want it to affect my surgery

Thanks for all of your responses. This has been very helpful for me! It's just hard not to be smoking and also on the liquid diet and kids driving me crazy.

Spike, I wasn't referrring to the your name...I was saying the pencil/pen thing was funny..lol..Thanks Btrieger, I will look into that.

lol that's funny Spike, but hey if it works then I'm all for it! I'm gonna try this, I usually don't even smoke when I'm at work. If I can go 8 hours a day without smoking that I would be fine..I think its boredom! Good luck with your surgery and everything too. Thanks a bunch.:rolleyes2:

another question....how do they test you?

Thanks for your response. I have quit but it's really nerve racking..I don't know what to do.

I am having surgery on 2.22.10 and I have to quit smoking 2 weeks prior. I am wearing a patch but it doesn't seem to be really working. If I slip up with a cigarette, will it effect me terribly? I appreciate any response.

week 3: 10 miles. Not a good week at all, started going to school so it's been kind of hard to get my miles in. I may fall short of my miles this month, but I will try hard to get the rest in. Good job and good luck everybody!

week 2: 27.2 miles done

25.3 miles done this week

I'm back in again! For October I will try 85 miles. I will use the treadmill, elliptical, bike and nature walks to get to my goal. Good luck everyone!
