I am doing great...on week 3 now and have lost a total of 34 pounds. I have been sticking to program and walking, walking walking....I have been wearing a pedometer and trying to stay challenged that way......it is working.... did I tell yall' 34 pounds......yea!!!!!

Hello everyone! Back home....I had my surgury Yesterday at 11:00 AM. I had lost 26 pounds on my pre-op diet..YEA!!! Dr Fox has everyone do the South Beach Phase one diet for two weeks prior to your surgury. My surgery date got moved so I was really on it for about 3 1/2 weeks. I left the surgury center about 3:00 PM for the hotel. I am doing well, up and around and making my wonderful husband wait on me..(my favorite part). I did not sleep well last night but still feel really good. I think I was just too excited and grateful that everything went so well. I have been a litttle hungry today, I did'nt think I would be. We stopped by a chinese restaurant and bought a cup of wonton soup (without the wontons of course) and some chicken broth. That worked for me. I am really excited, I hope you are all doing well and look forward to reading about your progress.

Dr. Fox was at the Saturday seminar I attended. I like him a lot. He seems very kind and very attentive. I will let you know when I arrive back home Tuesday afternoon. :biggrin:

I am using True Results in Richardson, TX. I have my sugery Monday, 04-12-2010 at 11:00 AM. Who is your DR? Mine is Dr. Fox. Best of Luck! Stagegirl

I get banded Monday, 04-12-2010. I am going to Dr. Fox at True Results in Richardson. I live in Palestine.

Ms. Rhonda, My sugery is this Friday the 9'th. I started my pre-op diet a little early too. My doctor has his patients to do the South Beach Phase one diet two weeks prior to sugery....which is lean meat and vegtables three times a day. Has not been to bad. I have lost 17 pounds so far. I too like to read the entries.....I find it very inspiring so keep up the good work and let us all know your progress on your journey. I will try to do the same. Stagegirl

Hi Everyone, I am getting banded on April 9 also. I started getting a little nervous after reading the complications after LAP-BAND®" forum. :thumbup: I guess that is why they call it complications huh? I went to Wal-Mart tonight to look for protein shakes and only seen boost and slim fast in the pharmacy area. Where do you find that one with the 40g of protein? That is the one I think I need. :thumbup: My prayers are with you all....I love reading all your updates...it helps me stay excited. Stagegirl

I was scheduled for April 2 but now April 9, 2010. I have been on the South Beach Phase 1 diet for 2 weeks and have lost 16 pounds. Trying to cut down on my portion sizes now so maybe things will be a little easier. I look forward to my new journey!!!
