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?

Welcome back Renee Marie.

NewCC, it's all about the nerves and stress. You'll still do fine. I thinkif we polled this, a lot more than you thing had a visitor at the time of surgery, and I'm not taling about the doc.

Looks like wherever we decide to Cruise to, there needs to be a Red Lobster close by.LOL!!!

Cazulay, you teach also, right? That has me a bit apprehensive! Not sure what to expect once I go back! Hard to drink, can't leave my room all the time! Just makes things that much more difficult! Not looking forward to getting my room ready either! Way to much moving furniture and lifting boxes!!! I dread it! Trying not to think too much about it, but I have to have my room ready to go by the 23rd of August. So really not much time left! I usually go in a few mornings, and leave my afternoons free to do "summer" things!!!

Cazulay, that would be a negative.

Lynette, you are right, Red Lobster, is always cool! We still need a pic of this HOTTIE!!! You'll have to get on it!!! I think half the board is drooling!!!! LOL

dmtjet, can you keep water at your desk? I had a teacher in high school that had low lood sugar. She kept a candy dish of peanuts on her desk and ate them during class. If it's a medical necessity, then you should be allowed. Maybe it can be a classroom thing to keep a blootle of water at the kids desks. They can be healthier this way too.

Ok,I'll be back and see if I can copy it off his web site, but it probably won't due the blue eyes any justice. Much better close up!!!!

Well, have to tell you all ... my baby turns 21 at midnight!!!!! YIKES!!! Talk about a restless and nerve racking night!!!! She just left for the evening and I am a bundle of nerves!!!! I can't wait til these next few days are over!!!! She just thinks her dad and I are way to over reactive, but man, it scares the daylights out of me!!! She did promise not to drive and will stay at a friends, but nonetheless, they are going out too!!!!:nervous

Oh well, besides that, we took her to Red Lobster tonight, because that is where she wanted to go ... I'm thinking well, what am I gonna eat there? ... it wasn't bad, I had about 3 bites of salad, 5-6 bites of mashed potatoes, probably 1/4 cup of cooked veggies, and 1/2 of a haddock broiled and lightly seasoned haddock fillet. So wasn't bad, no problems and I am feeling great this evening!!! So there is life after the band!!!! I do enjoy going out once in awhile, it is nice to know we can!!!

Happy Birthday to your daughter, Jeanie!!! Can I ask a stupid question? Is the drinking age 21 where you are? Is that why you're a bit on edge?

Our drinking age is 19.

I'm not a dirty minded person (honest!!!), but everything I read and write has a double connotation!!!! I swear it's the surgery!!!! They implanted a new libido, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, that's what it is!!!! Always a good explanation!!!! LOL:o

Welcome back Denise. Glad to hear it was easy!!!

Yeah, they frown on the water bottle thing for the students, not sure what the problem with that is! No, they won't say anything if I have it. I have a small fridge that I bought and use in my room, but it is more the fact that what goes in, has to come out and if you can't get there ... now, that could be a problem!!!!! Oh, and I teach K4 the little ones!!!

It sure sounds like quite a few of you should have cancelled the reservations for Aunt Flo!!!!! I think you have made her feel way too welcome!!!!!

Yeah, I'm ticked at her for showing up so soon!!!

Chim and Kathybad~ I can totally relate. I started spotting the morning of my surgery. Yup 4 days early! Totally sucks!

Jackie, Biggest loser, mango24, ReneeMarie~ Welcome to the banded side! So glad to hear you are doing so well!!!

Good luck Chimboree, Nelli,Stepht7s,Nevada Spirit, and Betty B. If I am missing anyone else I am so sorry and Good luck!!!

Icybreeze~ YUM that sounds sooo good. I can’t wait til I start my mushies, I am gonna try that!

Tomorrow I get to start yogurt and pudding. Not so sure about the yogurt, haven't been a fan since junior high when I learned it was live bacteria! Just can't get that idea out of my head with every bite I take. But I am very excited about the pudding. YUM!!!
