Hello Canadians,

I'd like to know who you were banded by, or are getting banded by.

Thanks!

Thanks Cloe!!

I am getting quite excited - today I am packing for the triip there and the trip home.

Believe it or not - I have already dropped a size or 2 in my clothes. And people are starting to notice also.

see you on the otherside!

Sending all my prayers and best wishes your way Jude, as you cross over to the "leaner side"....!!!

:confused: Go get 'em Champ!! LOL

Sunshine

Hey Sunshine, how ya doing?:sun:

While I'm on here, does anyone know how many grams of protein your suppose to strive for in a day?:confused:

I've heard all kinds of ranges... if I were truly paying attention to it, I'd aim for at least 60g's a day.

btw, I'm happy to announce that I just may have broken my awesome 3 week plateau at 257. I weighed in at 254.6 this morning! Woooo! Finally!

:cheer2: Go, Go Mandi!

That's great Argon!!!! I hope to break my plateau soon toooooo.....either that or the scale!! Do you only weigh once a week? (I do).

I do only weigh once a week... umm... technically! I am usually really good at staying away from the scale, but with it staying at the same weight for so long, the past week, I've been checking every few days.

I seriously thought my scale was wrong. How can a digital scale weigh me the EXACT same every time!?!? AHH! Whatever... I've budged now... so I'm happy.

The tickers don't reflect decimal points, so I'm not celebrating a 30 pound loss yet. Another 0.6 pounds to go! And as soon as I do, party at my house! Hope you all can make it to SK! I'm hoping next week!

Well, be sure to let us know once you hit that milestone, Argon!

Im back and banded!

Things running a little late at Dr. C's today - but I finally got in and actually left the clinic within minutes of both of the ladies who were banded before me.

2 hour drive home was 3 hours but I made it and I am still up. Probably going to bed soon as I am taking a demerol right now.

Having some pain in the incisions area and some gas pain in the left shoulder but nothing unbearable and I am sipping sipping sipping

WOOOO! Welcome Back Jude!!

Take it easy, get lots of rest, and yeah, sip sip sip!

Mandi

Congrats Jude!!! Take care of yourself and get pampered!!!

Glad it went well!

Thanks Everyone for the well wishes!!! All appreciated!

Day 2: I am taking demerol every 4-6 hours and it is keeping the pain at bay. I have not had much gas at all - yes on the sore left shoulder but the heating pad helps tremendously. I have not had any nausea nor have I had to take any gravol.

Slept on the sofa last night more or less in a sitting up position. But I slept on and off all night. I have been up all day today walking around and such with one lay down in my own bed this afternoon.

I had 1/4 Cup of chicken broth twice today and at dinner had about 1/4 of a tub of jello about 30 min after the soup.

I am sipping, sipping, sipping lots of water with crystal light.

I am so happy it is all over - now just to get healed up and be able to move easily.

thanks again for all the encouragment.

I'm scheduled for June 15th with Dr. Mumford in Mississauga, On.....wish me luck!

Good Luck Betty Boop!!!

ps: I love my Betty Boop PJs!!!!

:cheer2: Yahhh Jude!! Sounds like your doing great!! Don't worry you'll be back to normal very shortly. I was amazed how quickly I felt like myself again. So great to have you back!!:girl_hug:
