Can anyone tell me what I should be eating as I prepare for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer? Its about a month out and I want to be sure my body has the right fuel.

how did I end up with two separate blogs?

Support me in my efforts for the Avon Breast Cancer walk:http://info.avonfoundation.org/site/TR/Walk/Chicago?px=5864757&pg=personal&fr_id=2030

Made the trek home and back. Proud of myself, I didn't indulge in the local treats even thoguh I really wanted that chilli dog! lol

OK I'm still confused by this whole new site. i have this profice page, the blog, and the running chats...what do you update most?

Did anyone see Good Morning America this morning? Apparently the FDA is considering reducing the minimum BMI for lapband down to 35!

Wow so its not just me? I must admit I've derailed from the nutritonist list, but not completely. I called and told her that I was just not getting enough food and she allowed me to move from the liquid only to soft foods. I've eaten anything I've wanted. I try to keep it healthy but i must admit i've slipped and had pizza (thin crust). but since I've been eating regular, I've had more energy to do more. I had a problem with one of my wounds opening which landed me in the ER on Friday, but other than that its been smooth sailing. I'll see my surgeon on Thursday and hopefully I'll receive a good report.

Im sorry to have been out of the loop for so long but I'm doing well. My banding went well, at least that's what the doctor told my mom, i dont remember much. Not a lot of pain after, nevr filled the prescription they gave me, i thought it was too strong. Its been a week and I'm proud to say I'm up and walking already, I just can't believe how quick I get tired.....enough about me, how are you?

Im doing OK. I am too busy to be worried at this time. I got my time today, I go in at 8:30AM I have to be at the hospital by 7AM. I have been doing OK with the shakes, but I am sick of them so I have been eating more (maybe stress) but I've been sticking to "good food" like egg whites and a little salad. I hope my surgeon doesn't yell at me when he sees my liver. I dont think i've eaten enough to cause a problem but I must be honest. the 2nd week was horrible for me. I miss food!

well if you don't feel comfy in your underwear (I wouldn't) then perhaps in shorts and a tank. Or you can just do your measurements and keep track that way.

you're doing much better than me. I cheated yet again last night with some baked chicken wings and it wasn't worth it. my stomach is still mad at me. I am 8 days away so no more cheating at all. The good thing is my stomach has shrunk or adjusted as I'm not as hungry anymore.

Hi Permalink, I am not as nervous as thought I would be. I am getting excited. Right now I am just trying to get through each day. I start liquids tomorrow so that's where my energy is now. I'm scheduled for the 29th how about you?

I just got my approval letter so I hope to be banded by the end of September. We'll see. I can't wait to get off meds.

Hi actually am in the process. I finished my preop requirements today and so now it will go to the insurance company for approval. I was just on the phone with my insurance company for another matter and asked the rep about the approval process. I think I will be approved. Its now a waiting game.
