WOOO HOOO!!! congratulations. it all depends on what your doctor suggests. you just need to basically suck it up and do it. its for the surgeon's (and ultimately your) benefit. you can do it!!

wooo hooo! congrats on getting a date for your surgery!!

Andrew, im about 250ish right now and am scheduled for a TT with mega lipo to back and side boobs on the 29th of Feb. i say, if the surgeon says it's a good time, then go for it! congrats on losing the 134! thats wonderful!

im going to have one tonight. i took 2 packs out cause i couldnt make up my mind... either the pepperjack or the mushroom... i figure i'll cook all of them and have for lunch tomorrow ...

great to hear. congrats on 22 pounds!

mary, preop is tomorrow.. i dont even know what to expect. i know i will have bloodwork, etc done and they will :smile: take pictures and maybe draw, but i dont know what else... i have a list of literally about 15 questions ... im sure they are sick of hearing from me by now so i just stopped asking them ... save them up ... :thumbup:

Amy, hopefully this will make you feel better... i've been bouncing up and down the same 10 pounds since AUGUST

Welcome!! Glad to have you join us.

how about your inches? i, too, am addicted to the scale. you may want to read this thread too. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/asking-too-much-your-scale-52121/ you didnt say how much you've lost and how long you've been 'stuck'

the only thing i'd be concerned with is the sodium content ... some of those hotpots are full of salt!!!

congrats! great job on the weight loss already!

karey, wide awake at 3am today ... :smile: the funny thing is, i dont really feel anxious ... ??? i dunno.

sue, lucky you ... i've lost my boobs!

hi missheinlein, i had 222 pounds to lose and im down just about 150 right now. it can be done! congrats on getting a surgery date!

slmaem, contact your surgeon before progressing to soft Proteins. there are many liquids with lots of Protein in it. maybe drink 1/2 a shake, save it then 1/2 when you are feeling hungry again. up your Water intake too, sometimes that helped me. you can do this!

they look great!!! YAY!

yeah, this week i GOTTA be good... i did find those chicken breasts at Walmart last night. we're having the mushroom one tonight ... i bought the pepperjack and something and another flavor ... cant wait

Esmeralda, our first surgery was the 11th and no one has posted ... yet. you may want to check out www.makemeheal.com LOTS of good PS info there.

i just wore a button down empire waisted dress. it wasnt big on me but it wasnt tight either.

bloo ... yay, im not alone ... :smile: that 'burrito' sounds great!

**phew** at least im not alone :smile:

hi Mary, i have added you to the first post. congrats on the panni and insurance covering it!!! i go in tomorrow for my pre-op and hope to get all the instructions/meds. did you get liquid meds for pain?

but, wheet, you have money, you dont need any more ... :smile: someone actually had the nerve to tell me this. since my very dear DH works his ass off and makes enough money to disqualify us for the 'rebate' (aka tax advance), i should just be happy about that. please! i have bills just like they do. mortgage, cars, etc ... just cause you charge everything and have to pay your bills with the rebate and i dont have those doesnt mean that we couldnt use the money... GRRRRRRRRRRR. i guess we need to be penalized for being educated and fiscally responsible (no, not upset - at all)

Angie, great to hear! welcome to bandland!!

oh good gracious YES... soooo much more ummm, adventurous ...
