Okay late last night I did eat fried smoke sausages in the red skin after my husband left to hang out w/ some friends. He would not let mess up this liquid thing...they were SUPER GOOD!!! I am wondering if I do the liquids and some kind of meat, if that would be okay? It will be like the Atkins diet, no breads or starches...any way I may do that. I will check w/ my care cordinator Tuesday to make sure. I did walk over a half of mile last night on my treadmill in 15 mins (didn't even break a good sweat). I felt good afterwards, but today I walked a little over three miles in about 45 mins at the park...it felt good to be back at my favorite park. My mom has never walked with me before and she walked a mile and a half:clap2: . Just last Sunday she was at the ER bent over in pain related to her back! Well as for my 2nd day of the pre-opt thing (YUCK), I've had one New Whey Protein shot w/ half of cup of skim milk blended w/ice, three sugar free popsicle (yum) a cup and a half of beef broth w/ Ramen noodle seasoning (left over from last night) and that's it! I will have tomato soup later and sugar free jello. Be BLESSED, Sheila:)

Thanks Tammyj...I am trying, but I did eat fried smoke sausages late last night when my husband left (hehe)! I have to have something besides liquid! I'm thinking no breads and carbs...so I'm think it will be aight. I will do better today.

Hello Everyone, I am on day two my pre-opt diet thing (hate it!) and I am using New Whey 42 grams of Protein shots it has 0 Sugar, 0 fat and 2 carbs. It is so easy I can drink the entire tube in less than five minutes (that will change once banded). It comes in orange and strawberry, but the orange taste better...I also blend it in a half cup of skim milk and ice w/ a little Splenda.

Okay yesterday I was suppose to start the pre-opt diet, but messed up. So today is going really well, but I am wanting to eat! So this morning I had one New Whey protein shot (42grams) on ice. Lunch: I had one New Whey protein shot (42grams) blended with about one cup of skim milk and ice. I also had a can of cream of broccoli soup w/ a half of cup of skim milk instead of using water. Honestly I am not hungry...I guess since I can't have what I want it's driving me crazy. Tonight I will have one Ramen noodle package (only seasoning) and mix it with one can of beef broth. I have already thrown the noodles away. I hope I can make it to 1/11. I guess it all depends on the doctor...one doctor say no pre-opt diet required and another say two week pre-opt is required! Oh well I will do my best to follow this stuff. Be BLESSED, Sheila

I went to The Vitamin Shoppe and they were out of the zero carb Isopure chocolate, vanilla and strawberry! So I got a box of New Whey 42grams of protein 3.1oz tubes. My nutritionist told me about them and since I am suppose to have 80 grams of protein a day these will be perfect! They are very convenient and no mixing, but I do want the zero carb Isopure.

YES I WILL!!!! I am excited but I will have to start the liquid diet on tomorrow. I messed up already! Mane!! Well I should have did what I was told to throw out or give away all the foods that will tempt me and replace them with all the good food. So I am going to the grocery store now to get my soups and sugar free jello. I have thirteen day until surgery.

Oh a REALLY good one is "Girl From The Gutter" remix by Kina! It is great...it makes you mad and motivated at the same time. It's about being hurt by a old boyfriend.

Hello Everyone, Today I will start the pre-opt diet! So I am on my way to the Vitamin Shoppe, I will get the zero carb Isopure (chocolate), multivitamin and a shaker. I will get my chicken broth, boullion, sugarfree popsicles and jello today too. I can't believe I am this excited consider my feeling before. I feel good about what is getting ready to happen to me. My pre-opt appointment is on 1/5...then I will meet Dr. Madan. I met Dr. Tyshanksi(?) twice he was nice also, but Dr. Madan will do the procedure. Well until next time...I'm on my way to the store.

Thanks girl...yeap I'll be in for two days, but I met a lady who was banded by the same doctor and she was in for three days. It's cool with me, as long as I don't have to use my vacation time. I will need it for the summer!!

That was AWESOME....thank you!!! You are such an inspiration girl, thank you. Be BLESSED, Sheila

Hi Butterflysc, I know the feeling of weight gain...I will be banded on 1/11 and I can't wait. After much deliberating I chose to go through with it. I thank the Lord for this opportunity. Be Blessed, Sheila

Hello Everyone, I finally have my surgery date! It's on 1/11...so I'm cool with that, even though school starts back on 1/16. My care coordinator said they don't want me to do anything for a whole week. Well I am going to school on 1/16 regardless! I've read were other bandsters left the hospital the same day and was working out the next day. I know I will be in the hospital for two days at least which is cool, since my std kicks in that day or the next day and I won't have to use any of my vacation time. As for school...it's not up for discussion. I am so glad I chose to go ahead with this...I'm goin in my closet and pull out ALL my cute get-ups right now:heh: . Just to remind myself of the old days and to look forward to the new ones! Be BLESSED, Sheila

Thanks thickchickTEXAS!!! Girl I am super ready! The girl from my doctor's office called me but left my cell in my truck so she told my husband to tell me to call her back. She could have called me on my house phone...anyway I called her back and LEFT her a message, but she didn't call me back. I know I'm not suppose to be anxious, but I need this done before I start school. I will be starting college for the FIRST time and I will not allow anything to stop me. I am finally doing something I have put off for too many years. So that's why I want this to get going. Love ya too girl... you should be gearing up for yours soon right? Be BLESSED Sheila

Hi JoBaby, I hope I will be banded on 1/8 or 1/9 by Dr. Madan. I need to get this weight off! I am ready!!!

Thanks Sunshine2, I have a feeling they may schedule it around the second week in January. So this may be my last days before starting the two week liquid diet. I may go by some Isopure or this new 3oz protein drink w/ about 42 grams of protein that my nutritionist told me about on Wednesday. I think she said it's called New Wave, but I'm not 100% sure. So I will look for it tonight.

Hello, I am now waiting on my test results, before I can get a surgery date. I need to know when it is so I can get prepared. School starts back up on January 16th and nothing will keep me from school! I called Nicole at Dr. Madan's office to see if I could get an approximate date, but she said I will have to wait a few more days. I wanna have it done on 1/8 or 1/9. I think I will feel good enough to go to school the following week. Anyway...I know I am ready for CHRISTMAS!!! YEA!!! Happy BIRTHDAY MESSIAH!! HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! Sheila Be BLESSED!

Yes I am very comfortable with my decision...thanks ladies! Sheila

Hi girl it's good to hear from you...how've you been? this year has been something else, but I am thankful to have made it this far. I'm like Teresita I hope you're not leaving us????

Hello Everyone, Today was the GI test and it wasn't bad at all...but for some reason I woke up singing Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" song. The nurses thought that was funny. Anyway it was aight...the anesthesia was GREAT! I should get a surgery date on Wednesday, so I am excited now and not that nervous for once. Hope everything is going great for everyone, type you all later. Sheila:bored Be BLESSED!

I wonder why I have to have the upper GI Test?
