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 promise you will be there next time I post. The only restriction here is what we eat!

TamifromAL is down 16lbs and leads the challenge!!!!

Mom,

sorry for my confusing post. Week 5 I was down 4lbs (not 3). So I should read -1, -1, -1, +4, -4.

Thanks!

:peep: MOM, sorry for the confusion. I started at 222 pounds on October the 8th/9th. Week #1 after that was 220 (-2), week#2 was 218 (-2), week #3 was 217.5 (-0.5), week #4 was 218 (+0.5), and Monday, start of week #5 was 213 (-5.) Total weight lost since challenge started is 9lbs. Best of all, I had a NSV today...I sat in a lawn chair and didn't walk off with it stuck to my hiney when I got up. I stood up and it stayed on the ground! Silly how these things mean so much. :biggrin1:

:clap2::clap2::clap2: Go Tami!

Hello all, tomorrow is my first fill. That is if the doc will do it. someone told me that the doc doesn't fill if the patient is losing, considering hunger and a few other things. so who knows. anyone having trouble with dehydration. I am and I now have a bladder infection. I just don't seems to remember to drink. I think I need to tell my students to remind me.

Mom. -3 for this week. thanks.

I can't get my ticker signature to work. I am going to post this and see if it works. I have changed it many times. but it keeps popping back to what it was last week. here goes....

wow did you know that if you delete the ticker off your signature it takes it off the other posts you just posted. weird.....maybe I will try to do my signature later.. nite all

:clap2::clap2::clap2: Go Tami!

:peep: Thanks, Lisalee.

Mom, my totals are: Starting weight 243, 5/3/4/2/2.

Tami

Hey mom sorry late posting for challenge. Weighing in with Monday's weight 202 :clap2: another 3 lbs. gone yipee

MOM: My numbers are correct.

hi all, today I went in for my first fill... I didn't get it, they said since I have been loosing weight I don't need the band as a tool yet. I really am glad after hearing all the stuff that can happen but I am sure I will need it someday.. I go back in 4 weeks. Interesting don't you think. by the way I fixed my ticker thing and this program went back and put it on those blank replies that I did last night trying to figure it out. I bet if I erased my signature the old ones would erase too... weird.

I have a hard time drinking regular water, blah, so I drink flavored water. My favorite is Powerade Option, it has 40 calories for 32 ounces, and comes in a few different flavors. I like grape the best, also strawberry. I take 2 to work everyday and get 64 ounces of water in by 3:30 anything after is a bonus. Some may think it's a waste of calories but I'm glad to get all my water in and my doc says it's fine. Also crystal light has some good flavors too with less calories.

Lamamama,

Hey, I just noticed you've pulled ahead of me!

:fencing:

Maybe a little heathy competition brewing....
