    Hey Michelle,

    That is so sweet to hear! The whole thing is amazing. I don't obsess over food like I used to...

    I am trying to do a weekly weigh in and last wednesday I was down 20lbs. People are starting to notice. The best is fitting into my smaller clothes.

    Last night was my first social since the band and other than the itchy stitches, all went well. I ate mostly fish...the hard part was the alcohol. My fave is a G&T! I did have a vodka infused Jello shot! LOL! Yummy buy strong!

    I also did go for an amazing walk yesterday. Trying to get some excercise in. Will start with my trainer on April 1st. I think I need to do some more healing!

    Oh yeah, major crazziness...in costco yesterday and my mouth felt dry and stupid me took a very small sip of my daughter's 7up! Wow, what a feeling. Won't ever do that again!

    Question: when we have surgery, is there any fill in the band??

    You look amazing and I love reading your blog! Keep it up sunshine.

    Hey Doddie,

    Thanks for that! The one thing I cannot handle is throwing up. You should see me when I have the flu or something. I try my damndest to hold it in! YUP! So I will try my damndest to chew chew chew and not overfill!

    This is my new life as a bandster and I will embrace it each step of the way...Looking forward to the journey! COuld not do it without you gals!

    Michelle so happy you are back!

    I think I need to change my profile name to SKINNY B! Stay tuned...

    Cheers,

    All went well! The staff at FCSC were excellent. Just at home recovering...deal with a little pain where the port is. Managing with extra strength...avoiding codeine. Hoping by tomorrow it will subside. Keep you posted as the days progress! Stay tuned....

    GO CANADA GO!

    10lbs down and less than 24 hours to go. Getting excited. Ok, give me the deets. Be nice...how much pain am I gonna be in? I had 2 c-sections and this is less invasive but do you feel anything internally where they put the band???

    Hope all is well and everyone is out enjoying the olympics! GO CANADA GO!

    Cheers,

    How come no one told me the shakes taste like Slimfast??? I worried myself sick for no reason...Today is day 1! I downed it with a straw...a little thicker than I thought but it went down. Looking forward to my bar! I am getting excited. My husband took pictures of me last night and boy was it an eye openener! I have an idea...what about starting a Fitness Club! Feedback, suggestions???

    Cheers,

    The joy of getting POKED!

    Happy to hear it went well...all part of the journey!

    I start my liquid diet tomorrow...I am more nervous of that than the actual surgery! I am so afraid of what the shakes taste like and will I die of starvation??????? LOL!

    I am from Vancouver...15 minutes away from the center!

    You are looking great. Stay positive and keep up the hard work!

    Cheers,

    I am having my surgery Feb 24 and I am scared out of my pants! Spending all this money and then gaining the weight back! I have been in the same boat! Heavy since my teens! Fortunately for the False Creek Surgical Clinic, with the procedure, they offer counselling for one year post op and they are looking into adding more time! Stay strong and POSITIVE!

    Good luck!
