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?

raynie: Your a good Daughter. You think a lot of your Mom, and that's great. Cause you only got one. Don't ever forget that "I no you won't."

You take good care of your mom, and it will all come back to you. Just like that check did. You get back, what you dish out. OR The Ying and the Yang as the Chinease put it. That will give you a idea how old that wisdom is, and it's true!!! Shirley.....

toqu" congradulations!!! How does onederland feel? I got abot 5lbs to go, then I will be there.. See ya in onederland... Shirley

Hi Everyone, Its been a while since I have posted but wanted to say I am SOOOOO proud of all of your weight loss! You are all doing great since only October! I am feeling great (2 fills total). I am thinking of getting a 3rd. I have not been faithful about working out, but am hoping this nice spring weather will be a great motivator. Take care and EXCELLENT work in your weight loss journeys!

Ugh...I am definitely going in the wrong direction for our Easter challenge. I weighed in this morning at 192.8...up 3 pounds. All my traveling as really thrown me off my routine. I haven't even been to the gym since the beginning of February! I go in for a fill tomorrow and I really need it to kick me into gear. Back to the gym tomorrow too...

How is everyone else doing??

It feels like I want more success and scary b/c I don't want to sabotage it...

If it's that good!!! thean you won't. Just keep doing what you been doing..

It's been very quiet lately...where is everyone?

I had a fill today. I'm now up to 2.4 cc in 4 cc band. The nurse that did my fill has a lapband too and she said she didn't get proper restriction until 6 months out. That made me feel better because I was beginning to feel like a freak! :eek: I haven't lost anything in a month!! I really hope this fill will help me lose some. I'm back to the gym tonight with a vengeance.

Jessica, Don't feel bad! We are all like that. But this site helps up to really think and keep it on our minds, so we are kinda changing our daily habits. You can't do it overnight. I feel like I am SLOWLY changing my habits. But we want to do it right this time.

I live in Michigan and it is going to be 56 Degrees today, and I have the day off. YEA!!!!! I will be going for a walk today even with a bad knee.

THINK SPRING!

Everyone have a day. Mary

Thanks Mary! It's warm here in Salt Lake today too...but I have to work. Maybe I'll take a walk at lunch.

Hi everyone!

Its been so very very wonderful being off of work for a few days! now i'm back and trying to stay positive and refreshed!!

I'm half listening to a conference call and they are talking about the trip they are taking to Salt Lake tomorrow and it made me think of you Jess so i figured i'd log on!

I had my first PB yesterday. It was either from not chewing the broccolli enuf or cuz I was drinking with my meal. very gross. I am usually very good about not doing it but I ordered a mango margarita and didnt finish it before the food came and was NOT going to let it go to waste!!

Enjoy this spring time weather!

better get back to work....

Oh My Gosh It Is 70 Degrees Today In Michigan I Even Got Some Sun On My Face And Neck. Yea!!!!!

hey friends! Hope youve been having a good week. things here have been ok. I've been sooo pooped the last couple of says and skipped todays walk. at least tomorrows friday!!!

I was getting worried because no one was posting! I'm glad you're around Sonia! I hope everyone else is doing well. My fill has finally given me some restriction; I've hardly been hungry all day. Talk soon!

Hi fellow October bandsters...I have finally gotten a new computer and will be on more. My computer was a goner right before I got my band and I had been using my parents to ask questions off and on. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone more now that I can read and "talk" on a more frequent bases. Well, I have lost a total of 53 pounds now and I will be putting pictures on pretty soon. I can really tell a big difference which is great!! I know my ticker is a little off but I will fix it soon enough. I do have a question for ya'll though do you guys ever get a fill and think it is going to be the one and last for a while but about two weeks later you are eating the same again. About two weeks ago I got filled and I have lost 11 pounds since then but I am just starting to be able to eat just like I was before I got it. I still can't eat very much but it is still annoying to think I will have to get another one sooner than I thought I would.
