Hello January Bandsters,

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing now that we are all banded?

I am doing ok. I'm 6 days out and still on Clear liquids. This is the part that is killing me. I am so sick of Clear Liquids it's disgusting! I will be able to move to full liquids on Monday after my post op appt. Thank goodness I scheduled it for 8:30am!! Keep up the good work everyone!

I have had some minor complications, but today, I feel great! Still on nothing thicker than milk, and have an apt on Mon am. The complications have kept me from getting my Protein and liquids in, but I think that I'm on track now. Today is the first day since the 25th that I feel human. Lost a ton of weight, though, kind of scary. I'm hoping to slow down once I can get some actual calories in me.

Glad you're doing well, too. I know, the liquid thing can be hard. You're almost there!

I'm doing good. I'm on day 8 and was able to move to Soup so I'm happy. I got full very fast and it took me a long time to eat it but that was great. Other then the gas that I think has now past I'm feeling fine. I went back to work on friday and was shot last night, I think I feel asleep by 11:00.

Thanks to everyone for all the support. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Well other then my big screen TV ( I'm Kidding)

I am a month and couple of days out and feeling 100% better. Had a fill the other day, and I feel some restriction, not what I thought I would be feeling. Can't complain though.

So crystal how upset are you that my fav team, the NY Mets got Johan Santana? The Mets pissed me off this year, raising my ticket package price after their collapse, so I guess the signing of Johan justifies their increase now. I am really happy....

All I can say is that I'm sad to see him go but every Twins fan knew that there was no way we could afford him. I'm just glad that the Yanks or Sox didn't get him and that he went to the NL. You guys got one hell of a pitcher and a great clubhouse guy. He did so much for the community up here! I'm sure you will also see some more history made out on the field with him as well. I was fortunate enough to be at the game last season when he struck out 17! What a great day!

Its the last year for Shea Stadium, the new one is slated to be opened in 2009 right in the parking lot.

There hasn't been a peep from Pedro. Billy Wagner and David Wright have commented though. We are still dealing with obnoxious Yankee fans over this trade and the pesky Philly fans too.

I'll make it a point to get to the new Stadium. My Brother lives in Astoria and we visit quite often. I love to visit the different stadiums...Have been to Fenway, Shea, Camden Yards, Wrigley and AT&t in San Fran.

I am 6 days too. Lost 14 quick lbs, but I haven't had a good BM yet and its keeping me from getting in enough liquids. MY DR put me right on full liquids when I came home. That's not much more other than yogurt and pudding and cream of Soups. I am a disappointed CUBS fan but will remain loyal.

Hi everyone!

I got banded on th 19th in Birmingham, UK. Still feeling quite sore where the port is.

Lost 10lbs on the pre-op diet and then in my first week I lost 6lbs. Nothing in my 2nd week but I'm not too upset at least I lost some weight.

Just started on the mushy food today. Felt great to eat something at last. However felt sick about 30mins after. Luckily it subsided.

Would love to hear from others.

J9 ;)

      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!!
