Calling all upcoming bandsters...

I just wanted to start a thread where everyone can post their surgery dates and we can start to compare notes.

I am scheduled for 9/12. I have ALL my pre-op stuff next Wed & Thurs, including psych eval, sleep consult, lab work, 4 hr nutrition class, and pre-op appt with surgeon. It is going to be a couple of very full days.

My parents are coming for a visit the following week, and I don't plan on telling them about the surgery, so I am rushing to get through all of that before they get here.

How is everyone else doing getting their pre-op stuff scheduled?

Here is the list of September Bandsters: I'll try to keep it updated for everyone.

I would like to join the Xmas challeng but don't know how???would someone help me. Banded 9/9/06.:clap2:

Rita Ann: That was really sweet of you. Thank you so much. It means a lot to get some encouragement from a fellow bandster! I did a little better today so I hope I can get through the next couple of weeks without too much damage.

Congratulations!!!:clap2: Way to go, landing your new job! That sounds like a really great gig to me. I've always liked the atmosphere in my OB/GYN's offices. Best of luck in your new job. After next Monday, keep us posted on how you like it and how it's going!

Christmas Challenge weight 302. thanks for getting this together

Afternoon Kiddo's,

Seems like we have a pretty good start with the weigh in. I'm sure many will post later today. Remember weigh in only once a week. Next Monday is weigh day and I'm sure you will all do great!! Drink your water and sip sip sip! Avoid sugary snacks and carbs when possible! "thats a danger zone for me!" I believe is all of you and know you will do GREAT!!

P.S. if everyone meets goal that would equal a total loss of fat of a whopping 520-525lbs !!!!!

I'm here if you need me!

When you post your weekly weight make sure you let me know how many pounds lost and current weight. I would like to track the total weigh lost.

Thanks everyone for joining in and Good Luck!

Sorry I didn't post. My starting weight was 252.

I was just starting to wear some more fitting clothes, as you can see in my picture but the only draw back at my new job is SCRUBS there are very comfortable but not the best ASStribute to my body if you know what I mean. hehehe

I'll keep you posted.

love me

Katt,

I have you updated and I know what it's like driving long distances with family. It can be fun but sometimes you wish your brain would shut down.

I'll post the list on Monday, after I recieve the weigh in's for the week.

I do hope everyone the best on the challenge.

Thought for the day: If you're feeling hungry, try a no or low sugar snack. frozen sugar free popcicles, sugar free jello, or a small glass of skim milk with a 1/2 of a small banana. Might help hold you over till meal time.

Ok have updated the list, and have a couple of new commers. Thanks to everyone for getting me the info.

To put a pic in the corner you can go to edit signature and look for avitar, thats where you would save it.

WOW our list is growing!

Lifelongband if you choose to weight in on Wed. I'm sure thats ok just keep me posted. Post your start weight so I can update.

Hi all,

I was scheduled for a fill today. However, yesterday someone posted rules for a good fill. I can't find it anywhere. One of the rules was not to get a fill right before or during your period. Today, I called my surgeon's office and told them that I just got my period today. They cancelled my fill until next week. If it wasn't for that person who posted the rules for a good fill, I wouldn't have known the information. Evidently, my surgeon's office agreed with this. It was an excellent article.

If anyone read that post yesterday and remembers where I could find it, let me know.

Em, I think this is the thread you are referring to. I agree that it had some great advise to follow.

My start weight is 176 as of 10/11. You have my 20lb goal listed.

Thanks

My starting weight is 310 and my goal will be for 285 by Christmas. Thanks for letting me do it on my day MOM. I appreciate it.

Erin

Gosh Dang,

I am so dang hungry today, I know I know, we all know what to do and stay away from the empty calories. I just can't believe how hungry I feel. It's not head hunger, it's the real thing. I just gotta stay on track.

Rita Ann: The photo is really cute. You're gonna be a total knock out when you lose another 25 lbs!
