Everyone see today's update of the Roll Call. I just found another 4 names to add, which I will do tomorrow, I promise!

To all of you who have been banded - thanks to you for the info and tips...keep 'em coming! Less than 5 days for me and feeling nervous - excited - scared - anxious - (d) all of the above. Still having lots of anxiety about chewing my food well enough and those dreaded PB's (I had thought everyone was talking about peanut butter) ;)

OregonHolly-

Thanks for compiling the list. Makes me feel like part of a club. Surgery was yesterday, trying to get liquids/protien down and walk as much as possible. Still on pain meds. I still think of PB as Peanut Butter. When I have one, I'm sure I'll remember the real name.

Holly.... Thank you so much for all of your hard work on the TENacious TENS Roll Call... It is very much appreciated.... It's hard to believe that we have close to 125 October bandsters.. Thank you again for the list....

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately to give much support to all of the newly banded and soon to be banded, but DH and I are on the road working our way to Denver... We hope to be there on the 14th, just in time for my 16th surgery.

Congratulations to all of you that have been banded and many wishes for a speedy recovery... To all of those to be banded soon, Good luck and many blessings...

Kloverdad.... Thank you for going more into detail on yours and Mary's surgery... It is very helpful and gives all of us that are anxiously waiting for our surgery date a better idea of what to expect... One thing for sure that we do need to walk, walk, walk.... Please keep us posted on your progress.....

((((((((HUGS))))))))) To all....

Hey nicnaknut ... I am being banded in Denver as well. I will be looking forward to hearing about your experience. I was supposed to have a phone consult with Dr. K yesterday, but he had to reschedule for Wednesday. :cry Oh well, I am still being banded on the 31st, so all is well. ;) Good luck with your trip!

Thanks Holly for the updates. It is so comforting to see other names on the 15th along with mine.

This is a great group. I am so envious of the newly banded and can't wait for my turn.

I started my liquid diet yesterday and all is well so far. I have eaten alot of popsicles!! I also decided that I like Swanson's chicken broth much, much better than Campbell's.

Hugs to all!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
