I am a newbie and just found this sight at random. I will be banded on August 7th :ohmy:. I live in a small town about 15 miles from Green Bay, WI. I look forward to meeting people that know what I am going through during this new journey in my life.

Tell the truth...do you wear a cheesehead hat?

If the cheeseheads were not so heavy the possibility of wearing it would probably be greater, which also includes the amount of alcohol that was in my body. Anyway I get that asked quite often! I am a season ticket holder and the tailgating rocks! What else do you have to do in the winter????:crying:

Wow! I always thought I was a pretty savvy NFL fan, but I only recently learned that the Packers are a fan-owned franchise. I think that is absolutely fabooooooo! Sure, professional sports are big business...but it's great to see a fanbase that actually has more invested than the typical fair-weather loyalty that most clubs see. Win or lose, Packbackers seem to be loyal.

I asked my dietician during my consult about the prohibition on alcohol after the band. She said that it wasn't just about it having empty calories. Since your stomach is so much smaller, you won't have much food in it at a time. Since there isn't any food to slow things down, the alcohol you drink goes straight into your system. She never understood how true this was until she did a guest speaking at a support group and heard that most folks get smashed on a single shot. She said that some folks have wine now and then, but since you cannot drink with your meals she said you'd have to keep an eye on how you tolerate the wine on it's own. :crying:

Not being able to have them few beers with the girls on bowling nights is going to be tough but the advantages of the surgery far out weigh the beer. Also I have a feeling the not drinking with the meal is going to be tough!
