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?

Gladster, you are right! I would rather be with a "nice" person with a few extra pounds, than a snot that thinks they are all "it" because they are thin!!!! Any day of the week!!!!! We are really just regular people, with big hearts, and a craving for success!!!! We will get that one, by darn!!!!

I guess it's time to start wishing our July 6 Bandsters some good luck,

so Snaggletooth and Mommiranda, best of luck to both of you tomorrow.

Hope you're back with us shortly letting us know how you are.

Still looking for Laurend and Abbey to post from Tuesday, and our banders from today, cherrybomb and LWesson. You all are in my prayers for a speedy recovery!!!

Yes, Snaggletooth and Mommiranda, we are praying for both of you. Let us know what you're thinking and feeling right now.

And our latest banders, Cherrybomb and LWesson, we hope all went well for you today. Pop in as soon as you get a chance!!!.

Not sure who gave us the tip about the cappuccino delight Slim Fast w/ice and a scoop of protein, but I just had one and it was delicious!!!! Thanks!

Hi all.... welcome to all the new Lucky 7's !!!!!!

Last nite I found myself crying...thinking about not being able to eat 'alot' anymore .... and also not being able to drink (alcohol) alot anymore. (I love to party)

So was this greiving???? Anyone else go through this???

Today I am so excited.....can't wait to go tomorrow!!!!! I am scheduled for 7:30 am.

Posted earlier: embarrassed.....hell yes. I hate the way I look/feel. I'm really embarrassed for my husband. He is such a hottie and I'm embarrassed when we're out together. We used to go out all the time....now I don't want to..... BUT that will be changing soon !!!!!!

Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers..... I will post as soon as I can.

PS...... Damn 'Aunt Flo' showed up today... that biiiotch !!!!!

READY TO GO !!!!!! :car::car:

It's Official!! I am a July Bandster!! I will be banded July 21 with Dr. Gonzalez, Mexico. I am sooooo excited!!

Now I have to get myself siked up....Dr. Gonzalez has you on a liquid diet for 8 days before banding....Lots of willpower for me!!

This is an awesome thread! Y'all stand right there with each other!!

See, those younger minds DO have a better memory!!!! Thanks, Chimboree!

Snaggletooth, Best wishes on a successful banding! Sorry to hear you got a visitor, but you won't be awake most of the day anyhow!!! May as well, look at the positives, how 'bout it?

suzielondon, Congratulations on your date!!!! It will come around quickly!

Snaggletooth, so sorry about your visitor. Was it that time? Maybe you're just stressing, and it will be gone tomorrow?

Yes, mourning is ok. A lot of people do this at some point before, but it's really nothing to worry about. You'll be fine. Just remember, it's only going away for a short time. You'll be able to eat most foods again just not in the amounts you're used to. Just think, you can party with your Protein shakes, and a little "Spike" or two!!

Hey, I'll keep bringing on the new concoctions I'm trying. I'm telling ya, keep it interesting and this liquid diet is in the bag!!!:whoo:

Welcome suzielondon, and congrats on your July date. We're a great bunch.

hello all my little sausages how you doing?

welcome newbies,

just popping in to say a quick hi, i'm still in work and been checking the post and since i'm so self involved and i haven't seen my name in like 3 pages i just needed to do a little post myself. hehehe

Hey Lynette....thankx for the laugh !!! actually...aunt flo is late....I think all the stressing DELAYED her !!!

Confession: I had two "clear liquid" drinks tonite... hell needed something to RELAX !!!!! Keep the recipies coming. :cocktail::cocktail::cocktail:

Lynette,

Question for you (or anyone who has already been banded). I was wondering how long you are able to actually sit up for at one time. I live 5 hours away from where I'm getting banded and I'll be in Phoenix from next Monday to Friday, but I'm concerned about the drive home. I know that everyone heals differently, but I just thought I'd ask you all.

Thanks in advance for any input!!

hello all my little sausages how you doing?

mmmm sausages!:hungry:

snaggletooth, will do with the recipes. I'm going to try cinnamon and splenda in my vanilla protein shake next. Maybe it will taste like those Snickerdoodle cookies!!!:omg:

Well there's my little Ireland sausage. You may have not been mentioned in the past 3 pages, but are thought about often.
