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?

good morning friends!

well its a day closer to Friday!

Ever have those days when all you can think about is a food from your past life (or preband days)?

I'm pooped and seriously just want a big muffin from the BP cafe with a large cappacino.

Good morning..... I so agree with Sonia.... I would kill for a Big Mac value meal with a huge SOTA!

ok I need your guys help please... I woke up with a cold and a cough... what can I take to control this? Any Ideas?

Thanks ~Raynie!

Raynie, I'm not a doctor by any means but I had the same issue about a week ago. I don't know if I was supposed to or not but I took a healthy dose of NyQuil and not only did it knock me out, it knocked out my cold and cough as well.

You get better now and stay warm!

Hugs......Jimboss

Hey everyone...I'm going to Orlando until March 7 so I'm not sure how often I will be able to log on. My weight hasn't changed!! And I've been pretty good this week...maybe if I don't weigh myself for the next few days I'll be surprised. I need a change!

Orlando! My goodness Jessica! So do you like that tune by Willie (On the Road Again)? LOL. You enjoy yourself down there! Say hey to Mickey for me! And above all, be safe Jess.....

Hugs as always.....Jim

I'm tired of being on the road!! Once next week is over my life will be back to normal. And I have to work in Orlando, so it's not that exciting. I'll miss everyone!

have a good trip Jess!

Jimboss U stay warm over there too! Our Sioux Falls facility is closing up and having some of the employees who want to stay til 7 stay at the hotel across the street. Guess ya'll are in for a doooozey of a storm! Which my warm weather clients are being dorks about - what do you mean you can't get my cards out? blizzard? why wouldn't fed ex get there ater 1? snow? GGGRRRR

Raynie for my cold a couple of weeks ago I like the the liquid theraflu warming night-time.. put me to sleep and had that tummy warming sensation like the good ole bar days.

Raynie: If it's any thing like what's been goin around the country "a real bad dry cough" go to the Dr.. No b.s.. Some women at work came down with phnemonia. This lasts about 1 month, so I wish you luck.. If it's just a cold, nurse it or still, go to the Dr.. Shirley...

Yes Sonia, we are getting dumped on! It is 2:00 PM now and it has been coming down (actually sideways) since 9:00 AM. Last report I heard was Sioux Falls is collecting 2-3 inches an hour right now. I am looking out my office window and cannot see the buildings on the other side of the street! I was hoping the governor would have closed the Penitentiary but then essential personell would have to stay anyway. Thats me...essential, geez.

I just heard that they closed Interstate 29 from Sioux Falls all the way to Omaha and Interstate 90 from Sioux Falls to Fairmont Minn. In NW Iowa they pulled the snowplows off the roads and told them to go to the shop. They can't keep up.

Thank goodness I only live 5 miles from the Pen. But shortly it will be the longest five miles I have ever driven! LOL.

Y'all take care and stay warm Angels!

Love you all!!!

Jimboss

ewww and I put back the liquid theraflu..... damnit it Sonia if only I had known! I should have read the board before I left the house... lol oh well... hrmmm nyquil sounds good too, maybe tonight! I bought some Delsym and sugar free Halls drops. My throat hurts!

And I want a Big Mac! and Ice Cream! ok ok I will stop now... that snow sounds kinda nice... wish I could roll around in it... I feel so hot... I would prolly melt it all and make a nice path so Jim boss can go homes. heha ~Raynie Have fun in Orlando Jess! shirley I feel so dumb when I go to the Dr.s for a cold.... but maybe I will go.... thanks all for the advice!

yeah Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had the worst day!!! Didn't eat breakfast and then ate crap all day!! i feel so $hitty and guilty!! Have to post my friday fall...

breakfast - large cup of cocoa (2 packets)

1/2 apple (only nutritional thing all day)

lunch - conference call with idiots so i had TWO 100-cal packs of pringles and a handful of goldfish crackers - counted it as eating 1/2 pack. was going to run to TB for beans or panera for soup but got to the door stepped out into the snow and turned around. waited 20 minutes and had a cup of tea. then snack later to keep my mouth full so i wouldnt tell my boss to kiss my tuckuss - 8 girl scout shortbread cookies.

799 calories, 131 carbs, 29 fat and - 8 grams of protein!! EIGHT!!! I've been averaging 56g of protein. if all my hair falls out tomorrow morning it will be my own dang fault!!

13 more minutes to go to get out of the helllhole so i'm throwing everything in the drawer and walking away b4 i just quit. At least its the weekend!! I have a 4 mile walk scheduled for tomorrow so hopefully that will put me back on track.

thanks for letting me be a raging crazy! u guys are wonderful...

Awww poor Sonia! Atleast its Friday Babe! hehe

You didnt eat too much! Dont be hard on yourself... tomorrow you can have a low day.... too make up for it!

Thanks for saying my little girl is cute! She isnt so little anymore... I miss those days... they grow up so fast!
