I bought the chicken yesterday and it is REALLY GOOD!! I found it at Wal-Mart.

Today has been a great day, thank you LORD! Here's my daily pre-opt menu. Breakfast/Lunch (after 2pm) New Whey 42 gram grape (yum) protein shot w/ 1 cup of skim milk blended w/ ice. Caldo de pollo con limon (chicken broth, Better Than Bouillon, red chili peppers, chile Guajillo), and another cup of skim milk w/ two sugar free low carb fudge popsicles (pretty good). Dinner: Carbon Copy of above. I have to say one thing above Better Than Bouillon. GREAT! Be BLESSED

Hi Keshia, I went to Dr. Woodman too, but once I was getting down to the approval they told me about their $500.00 support group fees! So I switched to Dr. Atul Madan at UT Medical no support group fees, they're free. Here is Dr. Woodman's info: http://www.midsouthbariatrics.com/about_us.html Just in case you want to check out Dr. Madan, here is his info: http://www.obesitymemphis.com/ Hope this helps! Good luck! Be BLESSED!

Thank you Cinward2001!! I am looking forward to it! I was in Lane Bryant today and I told one of the girls this won't be my store anymore, except to buy accessories. About three years ago I couldn't wear their fourteens, so I'm ready to feel like that again...right now I'm in a sixteen and if I sqeeze, jiggle and shimmy I can possible get in one or two pair of my size fourteens I have in the closet. I love Old Navy they have cute tops for the summer. Keep up the GREAT work! Be BLESSED!

Today I met with Dr. Madan and it went really well. He was very informative and nice; smooth talker. He said I have a small abodomen (woohoo), I was like thank you! I am still nervous about the whole thing!! :D :scared: I know it will be aight thought...God doesn't give me the spirit of fear! Well I have five more days to go until banded!!! I will give it my all to continue on the pre-opt diet! Be BLESSED

Thanks Sunshine2, Seems like some people doesn't like to leave well enough alone. If ya keep stirring up dog poop the more it will stink, if you leave it alone it will dry up. Now that's "the truth"!

1) Do you know me? 2) Did you finish school? 3) Can you read? 4) Didn't I say in the previous post that I was done with this? SO TAKE A READING CLASS!! Have a BLESS DAY;)

Congrats on your band!!! I will be banded on 1/11, so I'm sure I will have questions too! Good luck. Be Blessed!

Welcome Ashley! It's great here!!! I'm not banded yet, but I will be a week from today!!! Great things are instore for the both of us!!

Fight with you?? Whatever! You must need someone to IRRITATE tonight! Didn't I tell you this conversation was OVER?! I guess you didn't comprehend that just like you didn't comprehend the question??? My goodness!

LIKE I SAID I AM NOT OTHER PEOPLE I AM SHEILA AND YOU AND NO ONE ELSE WILL DETERMINE MY OUTCOME!!! I asked one question not your zero cent! There is no hope I will get the band and I will SUCCEED! CONVERSATION OVER!

YEAH YOU ARE WRONG!!!I am not so many other PEOPLE I am SHEILA! So my success will be my success, point blank! No one will determine MY destiny or my outcome in whatever I decide to do. Yeah I messed up on the pre-opt diet AND! My question was should I tell the doctor...I didn't ask for anyone to PREDICT my success or compare me to the next person! If you can peek into the future you should be getting paid for it. I don't mind opinions, but when someone "tries" to tell me what my outcome will be is where get defensive!

Confidence Is The Key.

BUENA SUERTE MUCHACHA!! You'll be fine!!! BE BLESS

Thanks for your OPINION. However, just because I am not following the pre-opt diet the way I am suppose too doesn't mean I am setting myself up for failure. If anything that's why I need the band! One surgeon tells me not to eat anything after midnight before surgery and another tells me to start a two week liquid only pre-opt diet. So if I tell him I tell him, if not oh well. As for going back and forth with my decison, I am glad I did! I had to make sure I was doing the right thing that will benefit me and no one else! All that being said, I will have the surgery on 1/11 and I will succeed with the band! I am MORE than a CONQUEROR IN HIM (CHRIST) THAT STRENGTHENS ME! BE BLESSED!

Okay January Bandsters, I was suppose to start my pre-opt diet a week ago. I mean I did, but I was eating a little meat here and there, but for the past three days I have be eating burgers, fries and I just had Chick-Fil-A on lunch! I mean a nice size combo! I go see the surgeon tomorrow, should I tell him what I've been doing? I don't want something to go wrong in surgery. My surgery is a week from today.

Hi Angyl2314, Glad you're doing great!!! I am getting nervous again, but I won't backout. Sounds like your doing well without pain meds...I hope I won't need them. I found the liquid Tylenol at Walgreens yesterday, so I will definitly get some. My surgery is next Thursday so I'm getting ready. Good luck on your healing! Be BLESSED!

I have one week to go until I'm banded! I am starting to get nervous again, but I know it will be alright. I will meet w/ the surgeon on tomorrow and have some other tests done by the anesthesiologist at the hospital. So I may be there about a half of day. Then I'm going to the school submit my papers for class on 1/16. So I have no earthly idea what time I will be in to work. Other than that it's a new day and I am giving this liquid thing another go. Until next time...Be BLESSED!!
