Yasmina

That is so funny as my last supper is tonight and I will be having Pasta with you guessed it , Shrimp & Lobster ! LOL

Well I can have jello, Jello I will have. I don't think I have had the slimmy stuff since I was 5 ! Yogurt I can handle but cottage cheese No way ! It is going to be a long 10 days !

Hey guys I start tomorrow the yogurt and cottage cheese,except I don't eat cottage cheese, so that is a whole lot of yogurt! I just got a cold so I hope it will help me stay on this 10 days of hell ! My surgery is Feb 2

Good morning Cloe, Thanks for the info, I bought two bottles. I guess I will just hope for the best.

with children tylenol how much do you take ?

Heather, Thanks so much ! That sounds so much better !

I have a prescription for adivant for the long plane ride to Egypt, never thought about the surgery. Thanks ! Liquid Tylenol # 3 is that by perscription ? I have my pre op apt this week, I will ask my Dr. Thanks so much I want to make usre I am prepared !

I am right on it, I will go get it today. Thanks so much Guys !

Oh YODA, A 14, you must feel on top of the world ! That 's wonderful! :clap2:

Yes ,Carmen my man. I think he may come around. He is one of those people who believe no surgery unless it is really necessary. We had a long talk last night and I think he now realises my reasons for the surgery and I an not looking to be a super model ! LOL Men Eh ! Thanks for the list of things to bring.I want to be prepared I leave on the border to the states. Should I take the 3 hour trip for liquid tylenol ( Iwould go to target, Victoria's Secrets and Bath and Body Works TOO ) or in your opinion is the children's fine ? Thanks for all your help everyone :clap2:

If I am able to lose the weight and feel it is necessary, then I may have a tummy tuck. Who knows, I do know it is a pretty big incision !

Hi Cloe, Thinking about you and hope ypu are doing better. take care of yourself

What things are a good idea to have on hand the day of surgery ? Where do you get liquid Tylenol , was not available at walmart in Thunder bay.

I was planning on staying down town at a near by hotel, so I would just grab a cab. Carmen is still feaking out over the whole thing, so who knows what will happen.He believes it is too close to my trip to Egypt and I don't need the surgery. I discussed it with TLBC and they feel it would be ok for me to travel. My surgery is Feb 2 and I leave for Egypt on Feb 26.

Have a great time in the surf and sun !

Good morning, I will be traveling to Toronto (TLBC ) for my surgery. They say that you have to have someone to come pick you up after surgery. What happens if you don't. Do they make you stay there longer ?

All the best to you, and a fast recovery !

Benn & Jerry tonight and a dinner party with Hagen Daas tomorrow. I don't want tobe too Greedy ! LOL

Thank You, He says your fine like you are. If you want to lose weight, just cut back, exercise more. Well if it was that easy I would not be here, this comes from a man who weighs 150. He knows all the diets I have been on to lost lots of weight and put it all back on and more. My lunch is at 1p.m., that when it will hit the fan. I chichened out yesterday LOL :omg:

Hi Cloe, Sounds like you have hit tough times. You can't make your daughter go back to school, all you can really do is be there for her,and try to make her see how important it is to have an education. I work with children / youth, and the more you push, the more they rebel. You want her to know that she can always come to you if she needs too. Hopefully after working day in day out at a low paying job , while her friends are going to dances & having fun ; things will change. I am asuming the boyfriend is the big problem ? I too am a craft person and I know how I become addicted to making bracelets, anklets ect. Sonetimes I stay up 1/2 the night making things. My bellydance grop has been fundraising like crazy for our trip to egypt next month. We make everything, Perogies, fudge, Salsa, ponchos , dog jackets, and much more. This christmas we made $2100 in two craft sales. It may be addicting but at least it beats over eating and gaining weight. Yoga and bellydancing is my stress relief. I will be banded on Feb 2, By boyfriend , ( we are getting married in Oct) does not knoe yet that I have had a phone consult, surgery date, paid for it and just bought the airline ticket. I guess I will have to tell him today AH He knows I want it and have been looking into it for a while, but he never took it seriously. He is going to today at lunch Wish me luck! :phanvan Take care

I woull Love to see everyone's progress pictures ! Chloe, you look wonderful, such a difference !

My thing is rich creamy dreamy Ice Cream, and I am not talking the low fat stuff. It is Ben & Jerry's all the way. I start the pre op diet on tuesday, maybe just maybe I should have them over on the weekend for Dinner ? LOL

I hear you, Yogurt is no too bad , ( 10 days may be another story ) but I hate cottage cheese ! Thanks for the info. I think I will be a little crazy until I get it done. I get my plane ticket today. I feel lighter already, fiancialy that is LOL Yasmina

My meeting was by phone, so she said she would send out the package today. I am just ancious to know. She told me all about the pre op diet because I have to start on Tuesday. Yogurt and cottage cheese, and if I really need it a chicken breast. I also read today that SF Jello was alright too. Yasmina

I did not ask about what you can eat after the surgery, and for how long . I will be banded on Feb 2nd YAH Yasmina :help:
