anne you are so sweet for praying for us, thinking of us, and updating that list :biggrin:!

LOVE I hope you feel better soon. I will bring my iPhone to the hospital tomorrow - my laptop is broken. I am staying the night Friday since I have a late surgery at 5:00pm! Can't wait to check in with my new friends.

Here's my official check in guys!

this is Bikinibeachy and my surgery is tomorrow, 24 hours from now on October 10th!!!

And I almost thought I'd miss out on being a pumpkin...

Very Best of Luck to you tomorrow!!:biggrin:

Hello All you Pumpkins!

I will be joining your ranks tomorrow morning at 6 A.M. Please send up some good thoughts and prayers for me if you would be so kind. I would really appreciate knowing that I had some extra prayer support.

I have lost ten pounds in the last two weeks on the pre-op diet and what a difference I feel and see already. Life with out dragging this 100 pounds around with me where ever I go and whatever I am doing will be amazing not mention so much healthier!

Just go through and hit multiquote and then when you are done hit quote on one of them. Then all of the quotes will pull to your reply and you can put comments inbetween them. Easy, Peasy, japanesy :biggrin:

hey everyone, i am late coming to the october thread because i was scheduled for september 11. and after my 10 day liquid diet, on sept. 10, found out i was pregnant (after years of trying, one loss, and fertility treatments) so we cancelled surgery, then i miscarried...so i am starting over...new surgery date is october 16th...

as i posted on other thread, i did so good the 1st time around on the liquid diet, struggling this time...but i have decided to get my head out of my behind and get my head back into this...so looking forward to meeting yall and going thru the process with each of you...

hoping that from now until the 16th that i have time to shrink my liver again...what do ya think? will it shrink if i am good from this point on?

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. :-( I too am struggling with the liquid diet and had my surgery 10/6/08. Hence, it's 1AM and I'm on the computer at lapbandtalk.com while I'm dreaming of a hamburger! One minute at a time!

Checking in,

I am still sore. I feel like I did a million crunches. I am going to rest the soreness away. Good luck to all those getting banded today. Ahh it feels good to be home

Get Well very soon.. glad to hear you made it thru. I have had better luck walking my soreness through. But we have to make sure we get plenty of rest.

Take Care

Hey everyone! I hope all is well with the newly banded smashing pumpkins. Good luck to those of you going in today. I will pray for you. I only have 5 days left!!! I can't wait to join everyone in band land!

Hi everyone! Just checking in. I had a lot of reading to do to catch up, it has been a while since i've been online. My surgery went well. I had no nauseau or gas pain at all the first day. I did have to spend the night in ICU because i have a low heart rate and it kept dropping below 40 and setting off the alarms so everyone would come running! Turns out it is just my regular heart rate. Who knew i had the heart rate of a marathon runner? maybe it's something to aspire to although at this point i can't imagine it :confused: I do agree that it is not pain that i feel but more like i have done about 500 sit-ups. I'm not hungry at all just eating because i have to.

I hope everyone is recovering nicely and to the people who are coming up: it was easier than i thought it would be. Best of luck!!

Melboyd, so glad to hear that you've made it through and you and that you working through the discomfort of those 500+ sit-ups!

My discomfort is getting easier by the day and I still can't see how I would have been able to go to work Monday, if I had to - I feel like taking it easier for longer than that and am glad to be able to do so. I took a percocet before bed last night and slept very, very well. I planned on taking an early mornin nap, but I'm no where near tired yet. This is good. I walk to get the belches & gases flowing (those are the only discomforts); I've been taking in liquid tylenol for this.

Have been sucking on a couple of GasX strips every few hours.

Haven't felt much hunger at all - I tried the broth and don't really like it; I'm sipping Protein shakes, sipping Water. SF popsicles are my all time favorite these days!

Looking forward to having cream Soups (blenderized) next week.

Hoping everyone gets better very, very soon - Best of Luck for those on the way to Band-Land!!
