Yeah I have a list and will do that on my trip down on dec 1. I am hoping to go to some of the meetings. Depends on my hubby's schedule he works shift work. Might see if I can car pool with Patricia for the next one... My friend will be picking me up after surgery I am praying the weather will be good... She gets nervous driving in the snow...

Hi I am trying to attach my ticker and cant get it to stay. Which one do I use on the website from ticker and what do I do to attach it to my signature. Any help would be good. It keeps showing invalid file....

I am day four of a fourteen day liquid diet. The doc has me on meditrim only in chocolate flavor. I also can have 2 cups of vegetables through out the day.. I can switch up one of the shakes for a Protein bar from meditrim.. It is ok.. I have kind of cheated I guess cause I have had a popsicle and last night had a cup of chicken noodle Soup broth. No noodles just broth... I am definatley losing on this, but also have headaches, and no energy.. Which is not good with six kids.. But as of tonight only 10 days left... Yeah then I can go onto those other liquids and not feel like I have cheated.. I know it will get better just have to get through this... My hubby is being supportive and went out to get a shake for his breaky and lunch.. I love my hubby...

So Lyn how are things going.. I have already lost weight on this low calorie liquid diet. Also have lost a lot of energy with it. I am starting to get so excited about this. I keep going on this site and snooping around. I love to read the stories about the 80 to 100 lbs weightloss in a year. I will be working my butt off to be one of these peps. Is your date still the same. Hoping we can meet each other at FCSC on December 2. I am wondering when they will call me to let me know the time of the surgery.. When do you meet with the anestisologist.. I am suppose to me with them on Dec 1. Thinking about getting a hotel room that night.. Anyways hope the liquids are treating you well... I cant wait to be able to have other things like broth and yogurt popsicles and such.. Ttyl Michelle

Well all is well. Definatley (sp) feeling tired and week today.. I may actually go for a nap... I did get our travel trailer cleaned out as we are trying to sell it so that we can pay part of my surgery off. I so wish our medical covered this procedure or insurance. Kind of crazy that they dont, it would save them money in the long run.. I am sitting here saying goodbye to a lot of my past foods like popcorn and rice... I am actually craving healthy foods right now like chicken breast and veggies, or fish. Kids had turkey sausage last night... Yummy... I was bad last night and actually had a bowl of broth which I am not suppose to have till after the surgery but read on here that others are allowed broth, jello and so one with their shakes.. If my scale is right I have lost 10 lbs on this diet already guess we will see when i go in for my surgery though... I am seriously getting so excited. I keep thinking of all the things that I will be able to do.. I read on here how much people are down in a year. i will be working my but off literally to be one of those people... Hope everyone else is doing well also..

I am so jealous. I have two weeks of just protein shakes that are nasty and 2 cups of veggies a day. I would do a heck of a lot better if I could have jello, broth, and such.. I wonder why it is so different between docs and the pre op diet????

I love reading these positive posts. I go in for surgery in 11 days. I cant wait. I have also had a little of a jump start in the weightloss with the preop liquid diet. I am getting so excited. Yeah... :thumbup:

Hi all such good info... i am happy to here that patricia lives up here in Pemberton.. Would like to attend the support group and possibly car pool... Sometimes hard to get away with six kids... I will become an official bandster on December 2, I am on the liquid diet right now and am starving... Trying to think positive and tell myself I am not but my blood sugars cant lie.. Off to have a cup of veggies then off to read...

Hi Rhonda just wanted to let you know those shakes are nasty.. LOL I will continue to plug my nose and chug.. Cant wait to see you on December 2nd.... I am so excited about this surgery and at the same time nervous... LOL... Wish I could join a support group but being from up in Mt. Currie and having six kids under 10 makes it a little hard to get away... So I will keep coming back here for support...

I am having my surgery in Vancouver BC on December 2...

Well today was the start of the gross liquid diet. I get three yucky shakes only in chocolate flavor and two cups veggies.. Thats it 600 calories a day... Day one is almost over 13 more to go lol... Feeling nervous and excited about the surgery now...it is becoming more realistic to me now... :biggrin:

I also have a date set for December 2, 09. I just started the liquid diet and all I am allowed is a gross tasting chocolate called meditrim. I am only allowed 3 of those a day and 2 cups of vegtables. I am starving. LOL I also have a problem with low blood sugars and am feeling all of those effects right now... Is there a group set-up yet for Dec banders... I originally was suppose to be a november but am now a cool december one.... I am getting nervous now as well... EKKKKK

Congrats I have my date set for Dec 2, 09.. Starting to feel nervous....

Well my consult went great. I start my two week liquid diet on November 18 and then surgery is on December 2... Wow time is flying. I have so much I need to plan for. I have six children aged 5-10 so my friend is coming over to help with the kids and my hubby has 5 days off so he will be here to also help.. I have also been doing a lot of thinking and when I eat something now I am like wow this is probably the last time I eat this. I have also been looking into exercise plans... Wow a lot of changes going to be happening over the next few months... There is also a lot emotions with it.. I feel so excited but at the same time nervous... Let you know how the liquid diet goes starting wednesday.. I will only be consuming 600 calories a day... That is not a lot... :mad2:

Thank you for the positive comment....

Hi I am new to this site and was wondering how you attach the ticker to you signature. I just cant seem to get it to transfer over.. Any and all help is a appriecated. Off for my pre op blood work.. Fun.. Thanks again...

I officially have my consult date set-up for wednesday nov 4. I am kind of nervous... The person I spoke with said that I can be in for surgery by the end of the month as long as everything goes smoothly. I had a set back with the financing but should know by tomorrow that it is a go. I also have a battery of blood work that needs done and an ekg needs to be done tomorrow.... Fun stuff.... I meet with a pychologist on wednesday also... That makes me really nervous.. I believe I am ready for this... I have researched it and read the risks but the risks of surgery vs the risks of staying morbidly obese do not compare... I also understand the centre puts me a diet called meditrim.. Anyways so this is my first blog hope everything goes well for me with my financing and the consult.. Untill tomorrow...
