Just-Ice

Glad to hear you are doing well. I must admit, the surgery kicked my butt. I'm still in a lot of pain and pushing just to get liquids down. In fact, I'm almost ready to go back to bed!

Hi there! Certainly!! you are most welcome to join us and CONGRATS on the baby!! We are the "Jan Band Journey" under the Community area. Here is the link, LAP-BAND I will catch up with you there on Thursday when I get home from the hospital (my surgery is this Wednesday). Welcome!

just checking on you.. how are you doing?

Me too. Although it hasn't been that bad today. I've noticed that my head hunger is very very powerful. I'm not physically hungry.. but you know how that goes.

What type of pre-diet are you on?

awesome! I'm 1/2 hour behind you! What part of the country are you in? I'm in Northern Kentucky myself. Have you started a pre-diet or is that required by your doc?

Yes, it is. I'm going to look at this though as a meal-to-meal thing instead of a whole 10 days. I think I can do it if I break it down into mini-goals. I have been "trying" this menu for the past week (on and off) and have discovered with the protein added to the foods, I'm really not hungry. Have you tried that?

I go Thursday for my pre-op appointment. I'm worried most about that day. I only work 5 mins from my home. I can get by those fast food restaurants if I make myself almost late to leave, but I drive by 10 exits of them on the way to the hospital. Yuck!

So what type of pre-diet does your doc have you on? I have liquids (pudding, jello, soup broth & cream soup), but no solids. I'm going to miss solids!

just saw your note to Beth from VA... I couldn't agree more with your thoughts!
