Liz & Boo Boo -- GOOD LUCK on your upcoming surgeries! We'll be thinking of you and wish you both a speedy :Banane56:

Laura, wtg on your first fill! HB egg and cottage cheese.. at least you're getting in that protein! Be careful, and remember small bites! Take it slow, you'll adjust to this new restriction.

BigGirlP - sorry to hear about the toe! Ow! GLAD to hear you've recovered nicely from the band surgery, awesome NSV! It's nice to feel good in clothes, I can feel your excitement. Thanks for the movie review, it sounds good - we all need a laugh! I'll have to check it out.

Chris, welcome back! Don't stay away for so long :P Congratulations on your approval! I'm green with envy! :) j/k (I was self pay, but am on track to finish paying back in 2 more years). Good luck with your appointments this week, psych eval sounds like a good time! October will be here before you know it (10/10 will be my bandiversary!), I did high protein/low carbs for 3 weeks before my surgery and dropped 15 lbs. You CAN do it!

GOOD LUCK to all, keep those updates coming!

Hi! I saw that they started a "twentysomething" thread and I thought that was a great idea!

I would like to meet others who are around my age to learn from, chart progress, make friends, etc.

I would also like to know things like when you had your surgery, where, weight loss, age related bandster issues (if any) etc.

I'll start: I'm 33 (will be 34 on date of my surgery in 2 weeks) Married mother of 15 & 16 year olds. I live in Ventura County, CA.

Going to Mexico to have Dr. Joya band me on the 26th!

Thank you!

I am the 31 year old mother of a 10 (almost 11) and a 14 year old. I'm married (they say the 3rd time is the charm) to an "older guy" - he's 49. Anyone else have feedback on the "saggy skin" issue? All I've figured out so far is Water - lots of WATER is the best hope in keeping firmer skin after weight loss.

Lizzi - I did the same thing!!

Hey girl, glad you are recovering nicely. I was so worried about you in Mexico all by yourself. You are a seriously strong super chica, I NEVER would have done it if I had to leave the country.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
