Hey Pookie, I have a huge love for ice cream but I started the Greek yogurts instead and I have to say there not bad and full of protein

Hey everyone. Today marks my first week post up and besides a little gas pain I'm doing great. Between the 1 week pre op diet and the surgery I have lost 30lbs and it feels FANTASTIC :0) so at 280lbs and only need to lose 80 more to be at my ideal weight. I think the worse feeling is that first day home from the hospital, but I am shocked at how fast my body is recovering. My biggest fear now is the extra skin and hoping I'm young enough (32) for it to shrink with exercise. How is everyone else doing?

Had some soup at a friends house but it might have been to greasy cause I'm stuck in the bathroom sigh

Hey guys. Woke up in more pain then yesterday and the fact that they removed my morphine but whatever I get to go home and watch my new TV addiction Weeds on NETFLIX. Thanks everyone for the support and good luck to everyone still waiting. I feel like I honestly just received a second chance at life and plan on making the best of it. PS my hospital roommate just informed me that his friend last week ate a cheese steak sandwich after only having the band for 3 weeks *sigh*

Got my surgery early today. My Dr requires us to stay over night so they may monitor us and make sure there are no complications. I feel good for the most part and I have a slight pain in my shoulders. This Morphine feels good but I'm not taking as much cause don't want to become dependedt on it. I am so happy to have done this and god bless you all

Thanks Cathy I'll have to go get some then

I Effed up. Day 1-4 of my liquid diet was great but day 5 (last night) I took my daughter to McD's for a quick dinner and I broke down and bought a grilled chicken snack wrap :0( will it be out if my system by sept 8th?

Hey everyone. So today is day one of my pre-op diet it's a sad and happy day but I have to be strong since this is for the better

I was not trying to sound like a jerk so I am sorry.

Loving the picture. Hey guys im from brooklyn and moved to Northern NJ. My band date is Sept 8th =)

mind if we see what you look like?

Hey September family :0) had my pre op appointment today. They did urine sample, EKG, Blood work and X-rays. They also informed me of what I have to bring with me and gave me some lung apparatus. GOD I can't wait to look like I did when I was in the Army HOAH

I'm Latin so it might be above the average requirements lol

I'm here to help lol

You can add me. Soldier069 I get banded on Sept 8th

Why don't you and I go out to dinner and you can practice telling me ;0). Estas bella

Wow your looking incredible :0)

What's going on people Sept People? So I went and bought the P90X, the Magic Bullet Express, weight scale for my food and some dessert plates to use as my reg plates. I can't wait to lose all these pounds :0)

I had to see a psychiatrists a polmonologist a cardiologist and a gastrologist plus 6 months of seeing a nutritionist. Anyone else deal with all that?

I never call my Dr's office and they called me a few weeks ago and told me i was approved before I even went to see my Cardiologist or my last nutrition appointment. I don't get why your Doctors office is giving you the run around

Regular PB (please say yes) or the natural oily crap my wife bought?

The only reason I don't tell everyone is cause of my wife not wanting people in her buisness but I could care less. I have told everyone of "my" friends and I noticed that all my fat friends are the ones telling me I don't need it SMH. I want to tell them that it's obvious diets are not working but I pretend to listen to them. All my slim friends are happy fore me :0)

Sept 8 for me can't wait

Didn't they turn human fat into some great smelling soap in Fight Club?

Wow not swallowing is like making a PB&J (love PB&J) sandwich and then not eating it, Just makes no sense. I admit that every Latin women I have dated swallowed and the few that where not didn't So could it be a cultural thing lmao
