Yasmina

Well, I got all the ore op stuff done . It was kind of a rush as my surgery is feb 2nd. I asked my Dr. for the liquid codine , and I got it how about that! I am actually surprised !

I hear you, When I think of Mandi with 100lbs lost, I am amazed . I want that soooooo bad

I hear you, that sounds good

As I read about everyone, I makes me wonder how things will turn out foe me. I have tried soooo mand diets and they have all worked but some how I would fall into the same rut and boom all the weight and more is back. I see how successful everyone is and I wonder can this happen to me too ? Mandi really blows me away because I have been on this site since August and watched as she hit 100lbs lost Holy Cow, that is soooo cool ! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Westjet flights are pretty easy to change and not as expensive . I checked this out for my own flights.

Good morning, So far i did'nt eat post it's, but I am only on day 3 and today is a new day! ANYTHING CAN Happen LOL. I will be banded at the Prince Arthur Medical Clinic ( TLBC ) on Friday Feb 2 at 12:30. What no lunch for them ? LOL

are you able to drink any soda, or wine ect ?

Thanks so much Heather for sharing , I only hope that I can be sa successful as you have been.

Way to Go Mandi ! 100lbs ! WOW, That is Great, You are almost there!

BabygotBack I noticed that it has been two weeks since your surgery, how are you feeling Now ? What was it like the first few days ? My date is Feb 1st, and I am trying to prepare myself for the road ahead.

1LB TO GO Go MANDI Go !

Congrats on your first day, I an on day two of yogurt & cottage Cheese, and I hate cottage cheese ! Your shakes sound much better ! Have a great day !

It is really nice to hear from someone who has had it for a few years; what the long term reality is. I know for the most part bread and Pasta may not be part of my future, oh god , I hope somewhere down the road I would be able to handle pizza ! LOL Well I got throught day one, 9 more days to go. Yesterday , the cook at work made me hot chocolate as I was going out to get the children off the bus. I had to pretend to drink it, and dump it out later . I keep thinking it's a test . Don't drink the hot chocolate ! LOL My friend's husband's birthday is Saturday and everyone is going out to dinner at this great Italian restaurant, I guess I will come down with the flu BO BO for me. We could not have done this last week ! I have decided only to share my band surgery with two close friends that I dance with and Carmen. well on to day two !

Thanks so much everyone !

Heather, That is sooo wonderful! I could not even imagine, but I would like too , LOL, a size 6 Holy man ! Do you still get fills?:clap2:

It was, I made 122 dozen perogies this christmas ! I will be thinking of you too, Someone who will be experiencing my excitement at the same time. Have you visited the clinic ? What's it like ? My first time will be my surgery date. It will be nice to swap stories since our recovery time will be so close

Heather I was wondering, now that you are used to the band, can you still only eat certain things, or have you become so accustomed to it that that extra chewing have become second nature, and you really don't have to focus on it any more ? I am being banded on Feb 2 and will fly to Egypt for 3 1/2 weeks on Feb 24. The doctor seems to thank I will not have any any problens, but I will still be on mushy for 6 more days. When you move on to solid food any advice. I plan on bring a few things with me just incase. :rolleyes

I did not read, Jan7 2002 ahahahah

Heather, seeing that you were just banded Jan 7th, how are you feeling now ? It has been two weeks, are there things that you are still not able to do ? Forgive me as I get a little nutty !

Me too, I think I will ask my Doctor for a liquid pain med befor I go to Toronto. Just in case.

Tres Chic, Thanks for the info about chicken. I will save it for when I really need it. I made post it notes as a count down, something to look forward to.

Thanks for all your support Cloe. Your right, this is what I have been waiting for, for the past year. I am ready.

Well today is the day I start the yogurt / jello marathon ( I hate cottage cheese ) for ten days. I hope I can do it !

You sure do look great mandi ! You are am inspiration to us who are just starting this journey !

Has anyone stayed there when they had there surgery at TLBC ? Is there anywhere else you would recommend ? I have stayed at the Days Inn on Carleton but It is further away. :notagree
