I wanted to post this for all of you to see.

Thank you to each of you for your support. Becuase of everyone here at this site and in our VV group, I feel great. I am on my way to the hospital for banding this morning and I couldn't have done it without everyone.

Thanks again and talk to you soon.

best of luck to you today Staci

Good Luck Staci!!!!!! Hope the train ride is nice and relaxing! You will do great! Write when you get back and let us know how you are doing!

WHOO HOO

Staci you will do great!

See you on the banded side of life!!!! Write when you feel up to it.

Whooo Whoooo! This place is FUNKY! Thanks guys.

Everything was smooth as butta. (sorry had to)

I had to get seasick patch on the side of my neck becuase I felt so woosy. I think what is really hurting is the gas pains in front, sides, shoulders and back. The most comfortable position is standing. My husband bought me some sippy cups bc I was drinking my Water too fast and that seems to be working.

Very proud of myself for my pre-op diet (starvation) dedication. I didn't cheat once. Not a crumb. Not a sip. Not a lick. I lost 15 pounds!

**Funny Story**

I was just barely waking up today after surgery and they brought my husband in. I pulled him near and faintly said to him, "I was dreaming. We were ponies." It hurt to laugh, but him and the nurses thought it was so damn funny. My husband and I have this long-standing saying that we stole from Susan off Desperate Housewives. Hilarious to us, sorry if you didn't think that was funny, you may have needed to be there. =)

You are awesome. Here I am at the end of day 2 of the pre-op diet and my stomach is rumbling. No cheats yet. It sure makes me feel good to see that you did the whole pre-op diet w/o a crumb, sip or lick. You have inspired me. One day at a time!

Aveamora...you crack me up girl!! I'm so glad you sailed thru surgery and are home recovering. You'll be replacing that pic of Cameron with yourself in no time!! Awesome job. Keep walking, sipping and resting!! :biggrin: Amy

Contrats to you!!! I don't know yet if I will have to do a pre-op diet or not. I hope and pray that I can be as strong as you were!!! My paperword was sent to insurance on monday the 11th. I'm so excited to get a grip back on my eating. I wish you a very fast recovery!!!

Glad to hear it went smoothly, my band date sista!

WTG Minock, keep up the good work. You CAN DO IT!

Thanks again everyone. I am feeling great today. I am off to find a new protien shake becuase for two more weeks I have that and Clear liquids only. My EAS drink makes me want to BARF!

Angie, I didn't realize we were born-again, or should i say "Band-again" on the same day. That is great. How are you doing? I think i will go read some of your posts to check up on you. =)
