thanks Audree for the pep talk.... I guess I just want it now because I'm ready now, and I want to be down in my skinny clothes by summer (for me skinny clothes means size 12) I will then focus on single digit jeans.....

The carnation Breakfast drink FROZEN sounds yummy

Hello everyone. Just a quick post. I was banded at 7:30 this morning and home at 11am. I have been up walking every hour or so, and also napping. No pain of any kind (YET), just some soreness around my port incision. I'm so glad to now be on the band. I'll post more tomorrow.

congratulations!!! I hope your recovery is quick. I have 46 hours to go and I can't stand it! I'm so excited! I've done all the house cleaning, laundry and shopping that needed to be done. My house hasn't been this together since I was studying for finals! I hope I'll have this much energy after the band.

I know!!!! I went on an eating binge when my surgery was rescheduled and gained 5 pounds! But, I got through it by keeping super busy. The holidays helped. Just get all your stuff in order, maybe take a task like reorganizing your house and garage and by the time you are done, it will be surgery time!!!:biggrin1:

It also helped to come here everyday and vent what I felt. I felt so good to know someone out there knew what I was going through, exactly.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! Just get plenty of fluids in, this will keep you from feeling to hungry and will keep you from getting dehydrated. A heating pad felt really good too! And rest!!!

Congratulations Angelburch!!! Sheila, I'm right behind you with Carole. We'll all do just fine!

I'll have to get some of the Carnation instant breakfast when I do my final run tonight. I keep feeling like I'm forgetting something.

Oh, and thanks everyone for helping me feel "normal". :)

How long do you freeze it for? Does it not freeze solid and stays mushy or you have to let it thaw?? It sounds great!!!!!! I am going to make me some!!!!

Audree

I just stick in the freezer for a while. It does totally freeze but eventually thaws but has pieces of ice in it.

I need to curb my internet addiction and sign off now!! I got about 820 calories and like over 50 grms of Protein today. I feel very restricted right now and I am going to have some Chamomile tea before bed. That will put my h20 intake at about 50 ounces.

Talk to you all tomorrow!!! Audree

I'm actually pretty restricted tonight. This is the first time I have felt it. Feels weird. Usually I am just full, but I guess I overdid it. Oh well, each day we learn more.

So, as I was going threw other threads I came across some recipes I am going to steal and use. I figure I will post them here. Anyone else have any good puree recipes or ideas to get us through the next few weeks?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
