Welcome Kassie.

onmyway, great to hear from you. Glad to hear you're doing so well.

I just had to make a run to the store at 1:30AM for my DH, he has a terrible headache and we're out of excedrine. Now is that love, or what.

Hello all.....is anyone still awake? Chim.....good luck tomorrow!!! You've always been a great support to everyone else....just wanted to return it!!

My first day on my pre-op diet......it wasn't hell....but pretty close!! Headaches from diet pepsi withdrawl didn't help either. But, I also noticed that I could actually spend time listening to my stomach and when it was hungry verses me just being bored! Only 6 days to go......

After reading all of today's posts, I felt bad for those who had their "monthly bill" arrive at surgery time....before I got my Medina IUD put in, I had to worry about that, but no more...yipeeeeeeeeeeeee

Lynette...I know you like some of the reality shows.....my sister sent a message to me this evening letting me know that Pirate Master has been moved to the internet (CBS site) and will no longer be shown on TV, that was a bummer, but I'm glad we will be able to see the end anyway.

I bought some Protein Powder today, boy is that stuff spendy.....I got a natural and a vanilla creme, the guy who was at the Max Nutrition store was very helpful when I told him that I was going to go and have the band done...he ended up showing me a picture of himself before he lost his weight.......what a difference!! It just made me more determined and excited to be on the other side!!

To all those being banded tomorrow....good luck!!!

Sunny, See, we sisters think alike!!! I don't know why, but some of it, if it weren't said on this thread, would be absolutely hilarious! I guess because I have unintentionally and honestly innocently, set myself up soooo many times over the years!!! I am usually the last one to get it!!!! LOL

jfk and Biggest Loser - welcome to bandland via Dr. K!! I thought he was awesome! I'm glad you had good experiences and are recovering well!

As for Red Lobster...I'm now picturing Red Lobser's around the continent with banded women all eating at the same time and sitting with their laptops at the table to chat with everyone else! Haha! Just a side note...anyone aware that I'm on the coast? King crab here as often as I want! In the winter it's better becaue you don't need a boat, just a snowmachine, auger, and a crab pot...usually 7-8 king crab a pot! Oh yeah, can't wait for winter!:hungry:

I go away for a softball game and a zillion pages of posts go by...now everyone's in bed. DANG!

G'nite all!

Marcy, Sounds like you would have no problem getting us all there with you!!!! How cool would that be????? :clap2:

Dini,

Hi, Little Girl!!! OF course you can go to Red Lobster with us!!! We wouldn't leave you out of that one!!!

Training sounds rough!!! I would be draggin' my butt in and out of that place!!! Keep us posted! You can do it!!!!!:)

Your sis is home, actually early and surprisingly didn't look like she had drank at all (which I know she did)!!! She came home about 8 and left again at 9 to go exercise, then get her nails, and hair done. Going out again tonight, of course!!!! Then off to the Myrtle Beach for a week, starting Saturday morning!!! I'm telling you, I should have her checking in with you!!!! This one gives me gray hairs!!!! Too much spunk for me, way too much like her dad!!!!! LOL Love 'em to death, but man, can they fry the nerves, lol!!!!!!!!!:help:

Keep missing you on here!!! We got to get this down to a science, Girl!!!:)

Coalin, I hear you on the Protein drinks!!! They definitely aren't cheap, but once you are eating other foods, they will last a good while!!! So won't have to buy them that often!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
