NM Sunshine - use the code - cut and paste it and put it in your signature area. Some people have to do it more than once for it to stick. Good luck, hope that helps!

Vikki - thanks so much for your advice!

I went to signature under my profile and everything I do I come up with 'invalid' ;)

I know computers well. This is about totaly frustrating. I put my code on an empty web page and it, the image, came right up.

I just went to the doctor today to weigh in (I had to go on a liquids only diet because I had gained weight between consults) and found out I lost 11 pounds since last Wednesday! I just need to lose between 4 and 9 pounds before September 17. Let's hope I can do it. On a side note, I'd give anything for a Tomato right now. Is that really called cheating?

Katmeg99 - You can do this! An 11 lbs weightloss already is a huge success in itself on a liquid diet. ;)

You are scheduled for the same date as me 9/18/07.:whoo:

You can be my band twin. lol I'll be there for you for motivation and support. I start my pre-op diet on Saturday and I will definately be needing all the help I can get. :cheer2::banana

Poohlrv I think it is this new windows Vista and all the internet security stuff it has. I need to figure out (among a hundred choices) what in my browser, Vista or Norton is keeping me from displaying the URL. Anyone else have the New Vista?

i had my band yesterday and am home now since an hr ago.

i feel great. just tired. i haven't had any pain yet... which surprised me.

the surgeon told me that everything went reallly well no problems

and today i had the leak test and got to see the band. it was cool watching the liquid barium go down and follow the trail. he said perfect!

so i go back to him next week. i'm on a full liquid diet for one more week next week i'll get soft foods. :wacko:

The nurses were wonderful. i was the only patient last night and the 3 of them liked that.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
