Hello everyone,

I am to be banded on Wednesday Dec 13th by Dr. Cobourne in Mississauga. Hope everyone is doing well.:clap2:

I put on the intro thread that I was planning to go to Cancun January 12th for a week and my mom thinks I'm nuts. I think I'll be okay because we've been there before and know the food is good and since I will be on the soft portion of the diet, I think I should be okay.:help:

Let me know what you think,

Deb

Hi Deb, we have the same "b-day" Wednesday December 13th...good luck..Kathy

Good luck Kathy. Are you being banded in Toronto by Dr. Cobourne?

Deb

Good luck with your banding Deb! I was banded back in Sept on the 18th and now I am down 27 lbs. I am so happy I did this!

alwaysleo8364.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I will be sending thought and prayers for a speed and smooth recovery!

Dsoehner:

Welcome and good luck on your upcoming band date!!!

Dsoehner, Welcome! Good luck on Wednesday! You'll do great.

Welcome dsoehner!!!

Your in great hands with Dr. Cobourn, he's amazing.

Going to Cancun shouldnt be a big problem, I don't think. You shouldnt have any pain by a month. You will have to stick to smooth/mushies though.

Isn't Pina Colada's smooth????? lol

Yes, to my recollection Pina Coladas are smooth and mushie! I am deliberately going back to the Blue Bay Getaway in Cancun, I was there last January. I know the quality of food was excellent and I should be able to get something mushie at each meal. I figure eggs in the am, cottage cheese or some fruit squished for lunch with salad and then hamburger or some other Protein chewed well or mooshed.:hungry:

I got it all figured (I hope):rolleyes .

Thanks for the reassurance though.

Deb

Just make sure you get a table near the washroom, just in cause. (the slime thing):xena_banana:

Slime thing??????:faint:

Deb

When you eat too much or swallow chunks of food without chewing them to a mush, then it will get stuck and it will have to come back up. When it does, it does so in a big wad of slime. Sorry for the visual. It dosent hurt. Most times its a huge relief. But sometimes it can catch you off guard, especially in the beginning.

Good to know, I was expecting it to come from the other end. Guess I just need to reverse my thinking. What used to come out gross now comes up gross!!!!!LOL:p

Deb

ahhhhh, the good ol' slimes. They are usually your friend when they come, as it will relieve the onset of any impending pain.

Ummmm.....but Deb....keep in mind that a slime "episode" can last awhile.........

We got a slime virgin here folks!!!

Awhile??????

Hey at least I'm a virgin of something (Ha, ha, ha)LOL:heh:

Remember, I'm not being banded until Wednesday so don't scare me folks!!!!

As long as the long slime isn't while I'm in Mexico. What stage does it happen in?
