I can have a max of maybe 4 or 5 small bites of subway. nom nom nom

I do, but I make it in my shakeology and then strain it to get rid of the little tiny seeds inside.

Did you see that on The Doctors?? I was in the audience for that episode!!! I got VIP tickets w/ my family when we visited:) We got that book and the luminess airbrush makeup thing.

Congrats, Princess! I have really bad memory issues associated w/ my sleep disorder, so I can't remember when my doctor said I can start on stage 1 baby foods. I am pretty sure he said I could start that tomorrow, but to be on the safe side i'll wait until they open on Tuesday for me to double-check. I do have a ton of baby food stocked up for when I'm ready.

I was banded on Friday, and I've slept a lot. I haven't been able to take my narcolepsy meds, so I slept a lot longer than most people do in recovery. Surprisingly, my shoulder doesn't hurt at all! My back does, however. They made four 1 1/2 inch incisions, and one 1/4 inch incision. I kind of miss being in the hospital, because I was able to have people catering to me. It's very difficult to play with the kids when I'm in pain. ugh. It'll all be worth it though! Doctor says he actually leaves saline in the band during surgery, but I didn't ask him how much I've got. I have been feeling nauseous in the morning.

Don't be sorry for the post...I have surgery tomorrow at 7am and I have to be there at 5am. I have Narcolepsy, and people w/ it take a LOT longer to wake up than others...so I'm just worried about that, too. I have two small children, and I have been getting cold feet, too. I will do it, but I think it's normal everyone feels those "what-ifs". Good luck!!

I'm July 2nd!

Woooo! I'm scheduled for July 2nd. I'm a week into my pre-op clear liquid diet. Not too bad, haven't cheated at all. I've wanted to...boy oh boy....but, I didn't! I just took a piece of dominos pizza my husband ordered and just inhaled the scents. haha

I'm a week in and I haven't cheated at all. Sure, I've wanted to. Everyone wants to...My husband ordered lots of pizza from Dominos the other day and I sat there with a piece of pizza up to my nose just inhaling the good scents...haha. But, I didn't eat it! I looooovvveeeeee pizzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa:scared2:

Oh wow, that makes sense. Thanks!!!

Awwww triplets!!! How stinkin cute!!! :devil_smile: You should be post-surgery by now....I hope everything went okay!!

Congrats:) I'm thinking about having my surgery on 7/12...I'm going on a short weekend trip to an amusement park on the 9th and I want to be able to ride on rides. Woohooo!!!!!!

Hey everyone!! I was approved today after going through all of the insurance hoops--approved the first try! YAY!!! I will schedule my surgery tomorrow--I'm looking for around the first few weeks in July. Anyone else going to be a July Bandster?

I got my approval from insurance today! My surgeon will be Dr. Hodges, who is located in Glascock's office. Woot!!!

Woohooo!!! I just got a call from my doctor's office and they got the approval fax this morning! I've been a very large, annoying, in-dire-need-of-oil squeeky wheel to Cigna. I submitted on 6/1. We'll set a date tomorrow! Woot woot!! I think I'll have my "last supper" tonight (before I start my pre-op diet). I'm thinking Texas Roadhouse w/ lots of butter and rolls. Oh, and a side of Coldstone Ice cream. :thumbup: Then, I'm turning my back to that junk FOREVER and EVER! Via con dios!
