Calling all October bandsters...

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

I am scheduled for 10/18. I have ALL my pre-op stuff done as of last week. I start Protein shake diet on 10/4.

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

Jules you're making me hungry!! I LOVE Sun Chips. I've been doing better than past few days, but I haven't been to the gym in about 2 weeks. Work has been crazy!!! Today I weighed in at 190...I really, really want to get to 180 something for my weigh in on Sunday even if it's only 189.8. Ha ha! Cross your fingers...

Geez girls....I can't eat sweets! I'd love to but they do something to me. Ever since my surgery, if I eat ice cream or chocolate......it makes me hornier than hell!!!!!!

So, my snacking consists of crackers/cheese or popsickles. Maybe an ocasional dish of apple sauce. Oh yummy. LOL. I do the sugar free popsickles. Sort of helps with the amount of fluids I'm supposed to take in each day.

But if I screw up and have a ice cream bar........yikes! Cold showers for me! Whew.

Jim you are too funny!!

LOL. Thanks Jessica. Hey, care to share a hershey bar? LOL.

Just kidding Jess............. :kiss2:

I know what your wife will be getting you for Valentine's Day...lots and lots of candy.

Jessica,

At least I have been working out this week. That helps offset the pigout day. I am going to meet some other bandsters tonight at a Mexican restaurant. I am having at least one margarita! If they are good, I am having 2. lol. I will get back on the lap band wagon tomorrow.

SO STRANGE to log on and see what the topic is.

Last night I had homemade chicken soup for dinner. I put tons of extra wide noodles in my soup because I love them. I don't think I've had regular pasta since surgery because of the carb cravings I get after. Well, last night I had the soup and went to a meeting. at the meeting was birthday cake which I had 1/2 pc of (don't even really like bday cake). Came home, more soup. Woke up in the middle of the night and had snack size bag of doritos, 1 rice krispy treat and 1 kudos bar.

What the f#%k ????????????

I too am waiting for the arrival of my Muscle Milk. I am trying to do really good today to make up for the late night binge but I did have some ff from McD.

Oh well, we are only human. We will do better tomorrow!!!

haha Jimboss! I've never heard of that kind of a side effect from sweets but hey - I wouldn't be complaining! lol

Muscle Milk is pretty good! i bit the bullet and purchased some at Vitamin Shoppe. i bought the peanut butter and chocolate and the banana creme.

i've only tried the PB/choc and it is defintely the best shake i have had (w/ protein, etc in it). i mix it w/ 12 oz of skim milk and drink it about 1 hour before i work out. i cant really taste the peanut butter part of it, but i'd buy it again (on amazon).

Hi Guys I hope you guys are doing well, I've been working a lot and not doing to much exercise i have lost which is good i've gotten two fills.

11/28/06 1.0cc and one on 1/29/07 .5cc's its been okay i'm not hungry but its been hard, work has been killing me and no time to eat. lol hope everyone is great

:kiss2: :kiss2:

Shirley PM'd me the first few days she joined Oct bandsters thread as I was truly amazed as well. She actually lost over 100 pounds prior to having lapband.

Hi All, I'm asking Shirley again how she has lost 147lbs since 10/31/06? OH MY GOSH!!!! How did she do this? That's an average of approx 50 lbs a month? Right?

Am I just confused? or not understanding the weight loss stats?

I can't get over the quick weight loss.

okay so i went for my third fill yesterday morning and i finally can say, i feel this one. I am excited, the scale finally moved, of course, it was after i got home from the doctors...lol.

Well, it doesn't look like I am going to meet my challenge for the Valentine's Day deal, but that is ok. I am still happy with what I have lost so far. You don't lose weight when you drink two VERY large margaritas. lol. But that is ok, I enjoyed them!

I hope everyone has a great day today. TGIF!!!!!!!

Hi October buddies!

I was banded Oct 30th 2006. I have only lost 27lbs! I am not cheating and exercising when I can. Does this sound really, really slow to anyone else?? :cry
