December 10, 2008 Band Date



Recommended Posts

I do! I do! It is my 3rd one (date) and believing it is the charm! Only 5 weeks to go, let us 'walk' it together! I will be having it done in San Francisco, couple of hours from where I live.

So, is anyone 'nesting' like me, preparing, and what other ways, like shopping (bought my slippers & shakes)? So excited, we will be set for the new year, finishing up 2008 with a great tool...to be & feel fine in 2009! :lol:

Happy Early Anniversary Fanny!

So glad you posted in here...a true forerunner for us...looks like you are doing well! So...what was it like, amidst the holidays and winter season? I believe this is a really good time to get banded...but knowing we are brave to do this through the holidays. What a way to Celebrate NYrs' Eve and going into 2009!

Yeah Mjenkins, you found us! Can you imagine how our lives are about to totally change in just 5 weeks?! Yes, let us support one another, as a major help in this journey is just that! Where are you located (state), I am in Northern California. Also, don't forget to vote in the poll for the December Bandster name! Roseyyyd1:rolleyes:

I just ate some cheese while making dinner for my family. I am so dissapointed in myself!!!! I have been doing so well. Should I skip my last shake for the day? I don't want to end up gaining when I go in for my weekly visit to pick up my shakes. What do you think?

Hi Goose! Cool, we are increasing in numbers...hopefully more brave souls out there! I have heard of the one incision procedure, sure would be only that scar (+ the port?).

It will be great to compare notes with everyone too!

Have a healthy day of good choices! :thumbup:

I'm one day off (Deceber 9th), but what's one day amongst friends? I don't see any posts from fellow 9ths, so if you all don't mind I think I'll kick in with you. We will be in the hospital at the same time. I'll be in St Louis Park, Minnesota

Welcome MommyJD!!!! What time does everyone have their procedures? Mine is at 12:45 in the afternoon. I am hoping I will be able to go home on the same day. Have you guys told friends and family? My family knows but my husbands family does not. I have only told two of my closest friends.

      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.

      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!!
