I'd like to be added as your friend. But I can't figure it out. Tell me how, and I'll do it. You've already helped me some, so I'd call that being pretty friendly.

It is funny you should post this :0). I was thinking the same thing myself the other day. I started requesting friendships with people who have great posts or intriguing writing styles. I am so happy not to be friendless now.

OOhhh 7 days until surgery!! Are you blocking it out or are you thinking about it all the time? Did your Dr put you on the dreaded 10 day liquid diet?

Mendy;

I too am friendless. I am not too avid a poster, but find so much encouragement at this site. We are close to the same age, although I am older by 6, we live on different sides of the country; but the war is the same. I could use friends to battle the enemy hunger!

I'm sorta blocking it out...I have a lot of worries about the surgery..I am having a umbillical hernia repaired at the same time (assuming, that is, that I don't have a hiatal hernia... I am going Monday for a upper GI) I am so concerned he will get in there and gets so tied up fixing other things, he won't have time for the lapband.

I only have to do a 3 day clear liquid diet (yayyyyyy) that will be hard enough... the doctor gave me an Rx for valium...he said it was for my dh while I am on liquid diet.

In the upper left hand of your computer it says "user cp" click on that and it'll take you to where you accept friends. Click in the little square of the avatar and then save. :biggrin: I'm lovin' my friends...thanks!!

I also sent a friend request Mendy, I don't have any friends either. I usually come in daily and read other people's comments, and occassionally make one myself. But guess I'm more of a reader. I was banded on May 20th, I get my 1st fill on June 23rd, and dread it, I watched a video of a fill on here, and wish I hadn't, I'll definately be looking up at the ceiling. The wt loss has been minimal, although I can tell I've lost inches. I am only 4'11", and while I have about 60-70 lbs total to lose, it may as well be a million. I am a label readin' fool, and where I used to look at fat, now, carbs content is all I look at. I swear I think air has carbs in it, my doc said ppl were carb addicts, well no wonder, everything but meat and dairy has carbs.

Whew..thought I was going crazy..I KNEW there were carbs in the air! just couldn't prove it. I do the same. White stuff bad..And I know about the inches thing. I'm always reaching for the tape measure when the pounds aren't coming off. I made all sorts of charts. Gotta keep the hands busy! the fills are nothing really. If you have it like me your on your back not able to see a thing. It's having to be back on liquids that bugs me. You'll be fine.

wht do you mean? be back on liquids? i haven't heard that, although i was told by the arnp that i would be really tight in the mornings, and maybe into the afternoon, which i won't mind, I don't eat Breakfast anyway, and usually have an Atkins shake for lunch, which is about all i ever have time for.

When I have fills done its liquids the day before, nothing to eat day of until after the fill except Water, then liquids 48hrs after. Sucks, but great for getting back on track and weight loss.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
