Hi there. My name is Lisa aka Scrapper4life. I live in a small town just south of Wpg, MB. I work full time in a credit union. I have been married to my husband for 18 years and we have two beautiful daughters, age 9 & 11. Our life is comprised of ringette, cheerleading, softball and any other activities our two girls can get away with. I also have a serious scrapbooking addiction (just in case you didn't get that from my screen name). I don't get to scrapbook as much as I like because of the aforementioned activities, but have lots to scrapbook because of the same! LOL

My surgery is scheduled for Sept 27th. I'm on day 2 of the 2 week pre-op diet, which kind of sucks. I'm very nervous about the upcoming surgery and just know I'll find support here, even though I do have lots of support from family and friends. (I've got 4 girlfriends following modified dietplans with me!!!) I am looking forward to learning from others experiences and hearing everyone's success stories...have to focus on the positive things! The thing I'm most looking forward to is , in addition to the eating less and exercising more is buying non-plus-sized clothing!

Welcome Lisa. Good luck with your pre-op diet. I was so excited to get a quick surgery date (less than a month from getting my referral from my GP to surgery!) that I breezed thru the pre-op diet.

I'm from Australia so I was wondering what vignette is?

It's RINGETTE - it's kind of like hockey for girls, but totally different rules. It's played with a straight stick and a rubber ring. It's a super fun game to watch because they have to pass over the blue lines. It's very much a team sport. My daughter is only 9 and each year the game gets faster.

I am also new to this board, i was banded on September 9th and today is the first day i can have something besides broth, Yippee. I did the preop liquids and i started at 215 and this morning i'm at 203, worth it, that is a big "YES" you can do this, take it one hour at a time it is easier that way.

Hey Everybody! Just joined LapBand Talk and I am so glad to be here. I got my approval a couple of days ago. My surgery date is September 29th. Looks like Lisa and I will be going through this together!!! I am nervous, but, ready, really ready! I'm on the Sugar Busters diet and doing okay so far.

Hi Electronicart...

Glad to have you along for this ride. Today is 3 day of my pre-op diet and I'm struggling a little, but I'm going to push through. I'm going to see Keith Urban in concert tonight, so I'll be good and distracted for the evening!
