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?

I was banded 10/27/06. It has been slow for me but since my last fill a month ago. and making a promise to the Dr not to eat bread and sweets. I also limit my food to one cup. I have lost 15 pounds making it 35 since banding. I feel great and wanted to connect with you oct bandsters.:clap2:

:mad::clap2: yay!! i am a oct. o6 bandster too! would love to talk!

is there anything i can do to try to help?

yes, that would be great! i would appreciate your help. i am trying not to get down, but i really thought i would be comfy in a swimsuit by now and i am not. i just got off the 4 month plateau i was on. i had to have belly button hernia repair and my nurse told me that would probably get me off the plateau and she was right. lost 4 more but i guess i really have to pay attention now. i have been keeping the food journal and walking as exercise, but i need to do more. my son has a weight machine in the garage but it has been so hot here i don't want to go out there.

hi everyone!

Haven't checked in in forever since i've been stuck.

I know that its becuz cheez-its and ice cream go down SSOOOO Easy!! =)

I'm finishing my coffee and hopping on this exercise ball!

hello everyone I am so glad I found this post I have been looking for one that would show me that I am not the only one that is having a hard time. My family and friends just don't understand. I was banded on 10/19/2006 my starting weight was 265 I am know down to about 214. I go to the doctor on monday and I need another fill, my surgeon doesn't like to fill me so I have only had 3. I can still eat almost everything I want, just no soft bread. I thought I would be at my goal by my 1 yr.
