  1. thank-god someone else don't know what they are doing on this sight. I wrote yesterday and I can't find it. We are all getting down to the wire. Today is my pre-op visit and I start my 14 day fast tomorrow. My 150lb husband of 44 years don't get it either! Thank-ful for this sight!!
  2. Hey, how are you soulsista? Are you fasting? How is it?You will be the first in our little group of October/2010's
  3. Yeah for you. October 8th is my B-day too! My visit for pre surgury is thursday the 23rd 1:00 and I start the fast Friday the 24th. I guess we will start the count down together. I am passing the excitment and I'm moving into OMG (as my granddaughter would say). R gran 1, Your B buddy!
  4. Good morning kids. I just came in from outside to get my first snack of the day. I was putting up Fall decorations thinking MAYBE...when I put up the Christmas decorations I will be able to do it a little faster and easier.
  5. Please, someone tell me. Is this where I write? Am I doing this right? I did not think I would want to do this chat thing but the closer I get the more I think I'm going to use it. It comforts me like my grandson's blanket comforts him. I don't mind being the old gal here! I'm alive, isn't that why we are all doing this?
  6. non scale victory! I like that. I'll take any kind of victory I can get. Thanks for the PAP mask info. I have changed three times and I thought he was just being nice when he said this happens often. I have lost 9 1/2 pounds this month but suddenly since I have my date I'm having trouble eating to much. I have coped a bad attitude saying better eat this now since it will be a long time till I eat again. Not good, not good at all. I have enough to lose without adding to it.
  7. Gosh I thought I read most all of it but I hadn't heard of the scar tissue around the band. I will ask about that Sept.23rd when I go for my pre-op visit to start my 14 day fast. Band day Oct.8 Thanks!
  8. 17 days till I start to fast. 14 days fasting before B-day. No, not my birthday! B-day it's what I call Gran's Band Day. I also would just love to get on with it. I'm VERY nervous. The not knowing what to expect is the worse. I promise to try and help you all and write every day when fasting so you have some kind of an idea. For now I am trying to get use to the PAP machine. Guess where that is going after surgury? Am I posting this right?
  9. Just don't over do it. Follow your Dr. I have heard from two different people they streched their stomach by going fast. God I hope this ol'broad can do as well as all of you. I'm hoping to do good so my son will get banded.
  10. Hi sweetie. I am signed up for October 8th. My pre-op visit is Sept.23rd and my 14 day fast starts Sept. 24th. That is my 44th wedding anniversary. I have children older then you. I'm sure you was looking for someone a little younger but our journey will start close together. I guess we have to start some place.
  11. I have been looking for someone older. I am 62 and wondering if I should go through with this. I'm 5"2 and 295. Everyone is so young and don't have much to lose. I want to live longer and enjoy retirement. I wish you good luck and if you don't mind I will be checking in on you. Aug. 1 was my first visit. I go back to the Dr. tomorrow(Sept.1) to review all my test.
