Just got back from a great time at my brothers house. My cousin Henry cracks me up. Now it's time to start packing for my mini vacation. Leaving tomorrow morning for Laguna beach and the Pageant of the Masters. We are so looking forward to this vacation.

Nora is grounded and it feels like I'm grounded too. She cant watch tv or play with her toys so she's following me around like a lost puppy. David just took her with him to run some errands. I heard her just ask him if they could go to Toys r us. Nice try Nora!

Does the band loosen when we lose weight?
selenrose posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Seems like every time I lose weight my band also gets loose and I have to go in for a fill. I'm at a 8cc in a 10 cc band and I'm 15 lbs away from my goal. My Dr. says I do not have a leak, so I was wondering if we also lose weight around the band area. What happens when I get to a 10 in my band? Does anybody have the same issue? I would love some feedback. -
Hello friends, today I am doing the walk of shame. I was banded on Sept l, 09 and am down l4 lbs. Today I dont know what happened, but I ate like there was no tomorrow. I had chowmein and orange chicken for lunch (ate the whole thing) and since I had already blown it for the day I went to Starbucks and had a iced caramal (non fat) machiatto with (wait im not done) a piece of coffee cake:eek:. I have been doing so good. I feel so ashamed. I dont get my first fill until Oct l6th. I have to admit that I am hungry every day and my weight loss has been pure will power. I am only 3 (4 by tomorrow) lbs to wonderland and was so excited to get there. Why did I do this to myself? I'll start over tomorrow. I just had to vent.

:sad:Hi everyone, I was banded on Sept lst and am down 9 lbs. Yesterday was my first post op appointment and my Dr. said I could eat just about anything that I can tolerate. So I had a small salad for lunch with about 2 oz of chicken and vinegar and oil dressing and for dinner I had some shrimp cocktail. Everything went down with no problem. But this morning I gained l lb. I am so darn depressed. Is this normal after coming off of the liquid stage? I wont get my first fill until Oct l6. Any suggestions?

First time poster/surgery on 9-1-09
selenrose replied to CJRob79's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i am also being banded tomorrow. I have to check in at 9am and they said I will have surgery soon after that. I am very, very nervous. I have never had surgery before and I am PANICKED. But I desprately need to get these 70 lbs off. I have diabetes and high blood pressure and I want to be around to see my grandaughter grow up. Plus Im only 46 and feel like I'm 70. I wish each and everyone of you going into surgery tomorrow much luck and that you come out of this completely wonderful and free of any complications. -
OMG I'm getting banded on the lst of Sept and I am also freaking out. Im terrified due to all the horror stories I have been reading. I AM SO SCARED. But i have to do this because if I dont I will just continue to get bigger and bigger. I am also diabetic and have high blood pressure and I think my risk of early death are much higher if I dont have the surgery. I have stopped reading all the bad posts and have decided to have a posititive attitude. I am looking forward to my new life and I will pray for you to have success and not a single complication. Email me on Sept l and I will tell you how I'm feeling. Remeber, you will have a new life to look forward too. Be excited and not scared.

September 2009 Band Date
selenrose replied to ashleysara's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am so glad to have found all of your September bandsters. I will be banded on Sept lst. I am so terrified. I have been reading all of these horror stories that people on this site have written and I seriously want to back out. Does anybody else feel this way? I'm afraid it wont work and I would have gone though all this for nothing. Or what if I have alot of complications and will still be on shake come Christmas. HELP -
