I just found out my surgery will be in July (granted my pre-op testing goes okay) SOOOOOOOOO

Here's a thread for everyone getting banded in July 07!

Does anyone have any good ideas for a neat name we could call ourselves?

Patti C. it may be the last of the gas getting ut of your system. Can you walk any with your knee, even a little would help every few hours.

Cream cheese is to full size bars, you may want to cut the recipe in half, but if you family in the house, they'll eat it up too. It's great on dare I say croissants, or as a cracker spread too Sorry, I do not have the caloire content. I've always used the regular ingredients insted of the FF ingreidents.

Marcy, remember, you have to eat to lose. You haven't been feeling well, so give it time. You'll get there.

Christy, I have my own little water log too. I use 4 water bottles, and label the tops 1,2,3,4, and drink them in order throughout the day. Whatever works for you is my motto, just getting it in is important.

Ok, I posted an Eggplant Parmesan recipe on our thread, can't wait to make it now, it's a good mushy stage recipe. Someone has already came in to tell us there is whole thread devoted to recipes and we should be posting there. I know this, because I've seen it, but I'm going to keep posting my recipes under our thread. If they want to come in and read, that's great.

girl you've got a choice, the only position thats been taken is Momma you can get in there and be my Sister if you wanna, but Girlfriend also sounds good to me!!!!!!!

So, what am I then? I feel left out here:( I feel unloved :confused: nobody wants me:( Dini doesn't love me any more:( it is a rainy day for me for sure:rain:

JK

I think it's great how dmtjet is so cuddle with her hubby now. I can't get cuddly yet, cause you know where that leads, and I'm just ready to go there yet. Maybe after my Dr. appointment on Tuesday, when the Dr says all is good, then we may try some hanky panky, but I just don't want to screw up something. Any other post ops have any input on this, please, I know it's peronal, but I think my hubby would love to hear some positive responses!

Lynette, unless you are into so REALLY kinky positions, there is no reason to delay. If you feel ok, its ok. The band is a long way away;)

Sunny, do you really want to go there. How kinky can it be with all the FAT!!!! Well ok, just don't ask, and what do you mean, "Who are you".

You're our Sunshine after the rain, that brightens our every day, that makes our grey skies blue. That tells you , "Who are you"!!!!

Thanks for the compliments guys!! I appreciate it. I got so sick of hearing all the time "Do you know how pretty you'd be..." I'm sure you can all sympathize.

As for the water system. I drink all bottled water. I usually intake 3-4 bottles a day. And I label them, (with a sharpie), and on the side of each bottle I write #1, #2, #3, #4. Each bottle's 20ozs. So if I finish bottle #3, I know I've taken in 60oz.

I actually have a spreadsheet tho for everything. I check off my calcium, vitamins, protein, and fluids, so I always know where I'm at.

Honey, I'm just now down to 306lbs, and I can tell you from experience, fat or not, there is ALOT of ways to get kinky.

Lyette, Chimboree, and Sunny, I need sisters!!!!! I have 3 younger brothers, which I love dearly, but I would love to have a sister! My mom is wonderful and fills in as a sister sometimes, lol! ... Still ... I could certainly use some online sisters, lol!!!! Are you all up to it, lol?????

I am the baby and the only girl. I need sisters too. I would love to be yours:clap2:

Auntie Phyl,

Guess I am having trouble with my short term memory, but where is this Whistler BC? Where do you cross over into Canada? That was a gorgeous place. I think I would like to try to plan a trip there when I get "Skinny"! Did you say you just went for the weekend? Thanks for sharing the pictures. What fun!

Patti C

Patti,

British Columbia about 75 miles north of Vancouver. Beautiful place and beautiful drive up hwy. 99 from Vancouver.. stunning scenery all along the way.... except for the construction they're doing for the 2010 Olympics!! Friday was stop and go, stop and go, but Sunday, smooth sailing.

:confused::car:

AshRae, that's why I added in the Well, just don't ask part after I said that.

Alright already. It's time, and I just asked DH if he was ready for tonight. He looked at me said "Are you healed?" with a SMILE!!!

you know I miss a day and half and there are 18 pages to read. I am only to pg 159 but have to go now. Will be back after 8:30 pm.

Kathy, love you pics and you handsome men. Can't wait to see the pic of your little girl. I think you kitchen looks great now. Can't wait to see the improvement.

AshRae, 14 lbs! WOW! good going. BTW, I love your avatar. your look very stunning and sexy:biggrin1:

Hi Chimboree, glad the infection is getting better.

Dini girl, sorry I missed you. Talk with you later. What a steal on those outfits for Annafrancesca:biggrin1:

Hi Lynette, how did things go at the doctor. Is your husband going to be a happy man tonight;)

Thank you Sunny, I appreciate it very much. I've always liked to think that even tho I was a bigger girl, that I never let that hinder my ability to look good.

I have a friend who is a little heavier, and she always wore athletic clothing, baggy stuff, etc. After we became friends, she came to me and asked for my help, and had me take her shopping, that was such a compliment to me.

Hi everyone! I'm new to this, so perhaps I'm not starting a new post to the thread properly, but I'll learn.

I just got banded yesterday! Only 44 days from seminar to surgery, so it's been a whirlwind! Feeling okay today, but pretty sore! Not very hungry, which is nice. Hope to sleep better tonight!

Yes, you did it perfectly! Welcome to the Lucky #7's! We're a crazy bunch, but I promise you, we're all nice.

Congrats on your surgery! I have been officially banded for one week now, and I am typing this from work, so that should be a good sign of things to come!

Any questions you have, we'll try our best to answer for ya, and we'll definitely give you a TON of love and support on the way!

~*Ash*~

Thanks Ash! I'll be going back to work next Monday as well! Don't think I'll have any problem with that at all.
