Good luck to everyone going this next week, don't be frightened! I'm getting closer and I swear I will be as excited to have the band done as stop this liquid diet. All meals in life should never be sweet chocolate over and over. It is making me examine a lot of my feelings and thoughts around food. I spend a lot of time thinking about it and even a little time dreaming about it!

I have finally had to stop watching Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives though!

Love you all, and happy papa's day!

I still watch Triple-D. You can still eat the foods on that show..you just have to eat them in MODERATION.

I've been on my Atkin's-like pre-op diet for a week tomorrow and In th first few days I dropped nearly 4 lbs and since then I've been up a little bit, closer to a 3lb weight loss. In any other world I would be PUMPED about a 3lb weight loss but I'm freaking hungry! lol.

Treehouse I am so sorry about your experience! Have you figured out yet what coems next or what you're going to do? Congrats to all those that got banded in the last few days - I hope your recovery is speedy! I haven't been able to get on for a few days and I feel like I missed so much! Started my own pre-op diet (yay it's finally here) and felt really crappy for a few days but today finally feeling good again so hopefully my foody hangover is finally over. I'm not hungry at all but grateful for the Protein Bar I get each night for "dinner" just to be able to chew. I'm surprised at how sad I am to say goodbye to food ;) but it helps that I'm not hungry so I haven't cheated. I will do this. Best of luck to the rest of us still waiting for this month and congrats to those who are on the other side!!!

I'm 4 days in but to be honest? I'm not weighing myself at all... then I'm not sad or emotional about it. I got weighed at preop appt but won't know until I met w/ the surgeon again on the 24th (to go over my labs) how much/if any I lost. I'm sorry you're discouraged. Hopefully a few months from now you'll be SO pleased with where you're at. hang in there if you can!

Hope everyone's proceedures went well today. I'm so ready for tomorrow to get here.

Treehouse, I'm curious to know if you found out anything today from your mix-up. Please let us know what is happening.

OH, and I absolutely plan to continue watching all my favorite shows on food Network, especially Triple D! LOL

I hope everyone who had their procedure day comes home safe and sound.

I'm back from the dead. Day 3 killed me. Nausea and a Migraine for a good 14 hours straight is not my cup of tea. At least today I feel tons better, and I don't need to take my pain meds anymore!

Also, if you guys get an opportunity, I would really appreciate it if you would stop by my blog and follow me. If you have a blog, I will follow you right back. I noticed a lot of Bandsters who blogged about their experience had a lot of success in their weight loss goals. I could use the support. :) The link is in my signature.

You can do it! Are you on shakes, or do you have a Protein diet? I am sure in a couple of days, my posts might not be as positive! I am going to try not to weigh myself because I dont want to be discouraged!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
