Hey Ross07, Welcome :clap2: Where in St. Louis are you? :rose: Who is your Doc. :rose:

This board is great. I am in St. Louis also and currently waiting for insurance approval but we won't go there, too frustrating.

Happy Holidays!

I think we should have another poll with the top two winners from this one. That way we can re-vote with a narrowed down field. ;)

I think we should give the poll a few more days after the 26th because people are pretty busy with holiday preparations and celebrations. Maybe make it through the 30th? What do you think?

Help how does one get the ticker tape on their profile? Guess I am either having a senior moment or am just computer illiterate

I agree because there are so many choices in the first poll. Is everyone okay with that?

I agree that would be a good idea.

Ok by me, but we need to do it ASAP! There are people going for surgery this week & they want to have that name connection when they go. Let's direct the question to them? Just an idea.

Have no fear. I am making a poll that will close Dec 30 at night, the night before Chrisann's surgery. The two names with the most votes that will be in the poll will be January Jewels(8 votes) and New Year's Knockouts (15 votes)

Go to the January 08 Bandsters either at bottom or top of this or any page - looks like this in a blue box

Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support > Lap-band Support Groups > Monthly Lap-band Support Groups > 2008 Bandsters > January 08 Bandsters

Click on January 08 Bandsters and then scroll to top of page. Look on left side just above the titles of each thread and you will see a blue button titled "new thread' which you click on and it allows you to type a title, your message and then submit it (via another butter similar to one below). Good luck!!!

      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!!
