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?

PS: And I never work out. Not on pourpose anyway!

Jessica, I hear ya on the cookie dough. We bought some a couple of months ago from a school fundraiser. It was in the little balls all ready for the oven. Not one piece of it made it to the oven. lol We ate every bit of it raw. It was sooooo good. And unfortunately it goes down really well with the band. lol I am glad I don't have any more because I would be eating it still. I have been doing so well lately. With my exercise and eating. I can really see it in the mirror. That is what keeps me going. Not so much the scale as the mirror.

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Hope to be in One-derland for Valentines Day!!

Tonia,

I hope you make it. You are soooooo close!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Julestwu, I'll put my pistachio's down now...

I actually laughed out loud when I read this.

too funny!!

Well I went to the gym yesterday and today..did cardio classes for 40 minutes..and then back to work(do it during my lunch) and then eat a lean pocket at my desk.. and I feel better.. I go to the Dr tomorrow morning..so I hope he does a fill.. I am not eatting as much as I used to ... but more than I think I should.. If I eat a small prtion.. (1/2 cup to 1 cup size ) I still feel hungry afterwards.. so I eat a little more.. Do you think I need a fill..or am I eatting too fast that my head is still hungry.. when I am done eatting.. I am not hongry for hours later. to the point that I pass my snacks because I am not hungry for those in between meals. I think I need a fill.

This week has been PMS week ( skip this pat Jim Boss) so I have had the little snack bits of 3 muskateer candy bars.. I had 3 today..and 3 yesterday.. I needed chocolate.. it is smaller than a full candy bar... right!?!?!?! so I am still ok..

I am still at 7 pounds for the valentines challenge.. we still have a couple weeks ..we can do it..

Howdy friends

Hi Angie! Welcome to the group!

I'm exactly half-way to my Valentine's goal so I'm not sure if I'll make it either, but I'll sure as heck try!

Hope everyone is doing well!!

Hello To All My October Bandsters! It Has Been Awhile Since I've Posted Anything But I Always Check-in. I Have Been Really Depressed With This Band Lately. I Am Eating Way Too Much....... Last Night I Ate 3 Slices Of Pizza With Everything On It And I Feel Like Crap. I Told My Doctor I Can Eat Like I Never Had Surgery And He Said I Just Need A Fill. I Have A 10cc Band But Has Anyone Heard Of Eating That Much With The Band??? I'm Confused Because I Think I Have Slippage.

I had three pieces of pizza Sunday during the playoff game! I got another fill yesterday but I don't think it made one bit of difference. I ate lunch 2 hours ago and my stomach is grumbling!

It will probably take you several fills to feel any restriction. When is your appt. for your next fill?

It's Friday! Yeah! Well girls, I'm heading into my trouble spot...the weekend! But I'm going into it with the attitude that I'm not going to slip. Maybe I'll pretend my October Bandster Angels are going to gang tackle me and pounce on my head if I don't stick with my program?!?!

I've had a great week at work. I've gotten things done and I didn't let the inmates get to me. I feel good!

So y'all have a great weekend...I plan on it. My son and daughter-in-law are coming with our grand baby girl so it should be fun. And I can't wait for next weekend. My lovely bride and I are going to the Black Hills for a little R&R! Whew! Deadwood, Custer, Sturgis....lookout! Old Jimboss is coming to town!

Hey, I love you all. Hang tough and let's continue being losers!

~~JIMBOSS~~

Hey Jimboss,

You will do fine this weekend. I know you will. I have had a great week as well. I have been to the gym every night this week. WooHoo!!!!!!!!

Thanks Ladies For The Quick Response Because I'm At Work Really Stressed About How Much I Can Eat. But My First Fill Is Feb. 8th. How Much Do You Think I Should Start Off With? Any Suggestions?
