  1. Hey all, Today has been a pretty good day for me. My hubs and I just got back from taking a mile long walk. How is everyone else doing today?
  2. Congrats girlie!!! I wish you the best!
  3. Means they're healing! :biggrin:
  4. Hey Cathy, I am feeling okay today, the gas pains are terrible, but bearable. I got home about 10am this morning, and have just laid around the house being lazy bones since then. Did you have a hard time getting in all the fluid and the protein the first couple days after? I feel like I'm forcing fluids, but I don't want to get dehydrated either! Thanks for asking about me...how are you doing????
  5. My answers: 1 - 2 wks 2 - 4 wks 3 - starting after the 6th week post-op
  6. Well, I'm done now, banded at 10 am this morning. It hasn't been too bad short of a reaction to a breathing treatment that got me an overnight visit. Oh well, at least I have a great doc to take care of me. Talk to you guys in a few days.
  7. Ok yeah, so the gas is a major pain...its all in my right shoulder. I had to stay overnight due to a reaction to a breathing treatment. At least I had a thorough doc who wasn't antsy to push me out the door! Best wishes to you girls tomorrow, you'll be in my prayers!
  8. Hey everyone! BandLand is such a great place to be. I'm sore, but not really hurting, more tired than anything. I hope my fellow bandmates all came thru with flying colors! Will post more when I get home.
  9. Hey everyone, in the holding area waiting to go back! See ya on the flipside!!!
  10. I got the Gold Standard Caramel toffee fudge. Its like drinking a frappuccino from Starbucks. Very yummy!!!
  11. Well, its less than 12 hours for me now...I can't wait! The nervousness is setting in, but the excitement is taking over. I had my last pre-op shake about 6pm for dinner, and been chugging water ever since until midnight....
  12. Does anyone have any good soup recipes? I am on the pre-op diet and I am sick of Campbells soup!
  13. Hey Angel, I'm doing ok....hungry, but doing ok. I only have one more day of this pre-op deal, then off to the hospital Thursday morning. I am excited, but very nervous.
  14. Yep, Cathy, I am very excited! I hope everyone is having a great day, best wishes to those of you being banded tomorrow. You will be in my prayers!
  15. Wooo hoooooo two more days!!! I can't wait....it won't be long at all now and I'll be in bandland. I hope everyone had a happy Monday, and are having a great start to the week. :cursing:
  16. No worries Cathy, starting tomorrow you will have lots of us down in bandland with you!!!
  17. Well, several of us start our life after banding this week. How is everyone doing on the pre-op diet?
  18. I am going with the Lap-Band...only because I couldn't make up my mind, and my doc said he would just flip a coin! No, all kidding aside, I just really liked the Lap-Band system better, but it's really all in your doc's preference and what you decide is better for you. Check out the MyJourney on lapband.com and the realizemysuccess.com and see which website is better for you.
  19. Day 7 of pre-op underway...Its hard to believe that in less than 4 days, I'll already be banded! The diet was hard the first couple days, but has gotten MUCH easier these past few days. It's all worth it in the long run. Hope everyone is having a great day!
  20. Rebecca, Thanks for the recipes! Hard to believe we only have 4 more days!!!
  21. Day 3 of 10 on the pre-op diet....not so bad now, the hunger pains have subsided. I woke up with some congestion and a sore throat, so I'm off to the PCP to hopefully stave off any problems since I'm being banded a week from tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great day! Hang in there, keep your chins up...September is coming sooner than we think!!!
  22. Day 1 of preop diet almost done....I'm hungry, but surviving. I've had a half cup of yogurt, some sugar free jello, a fudgesicle and 2 protein shakes. Planning on some broth for supper. I've met my protein requirement for the day....so tonight is gonna be all freebies (broth and sugar free jello or popsicles again). Ten days of liquids....this too shall pass!!!
  23. I'm also on 9/2/10....and I got the graphic too, sooooo cute!!!
