:thumbup: I finally got my date and approval. Went to the class that talks about after the surgery. I am day 2 on all protein drink's. Thank God I am not hungry. My hubby is in the hospital, and I am 28 miles away. Also my Appts, classes, and every thing is in the opposite direction 30 miles away. So today was a very long day. My class and then on to see hubby. I have also gone down 20lbs, since my first visit. Hard to believe. I can be a mindless eater when I am stressed, so it was hard to pass up on the Hamburger's and etc. Well bye for now.

Congratulations on getting your approval and date. Woo hoo! =)

Hey thank you, I am so excited. I cannot wait to be a skinny senior citizen.

My date is the 24th too. I'm on day 3 of preop its not as bad as day 1 ansd 2 were. Feeling quite a bit better.

Did they have you do the other diet also. wk 1 I had to do a protein drink for breakfast the 300 calorie tv for lunch and supper. Also the snacks in between. Then week 2 was Protein drink breakfast and lunch, then a 300 calorie dinner, and my snacks, except at night I had to do 1/2 protein drink for snack. So of course wk 3 and wk 4 is the protein drink for all of it. I have lost 20lbs so far. I want the ticker on my thing also.

checking to see if I got the ticker tape on right.

Help with my ticker, I got it but don't know where to put it so it will show up.

Well I guess I finally got the ticker on right. It is showing up.

Well i finally got banded on the 24th. So far so good. The only thing I hate is grinding up my pills, they taste so awful, bitter, but necessary. My husband of 47 years passed away on Nov. 21, 2008, and he made me promise not to delay the date whether he was in the hospital or not. As you can see I did honor his wishes.

Louise, I am tremendously sorry for your loss. You are very courageous and I am sure your husband is so happy you honored his wish. May life cradle you gently through this difficult time and may you find moments of peace.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Tomorrow i get to start on mushy foods. So far I have not been hungry, but yesterday, my stomach was growling and growling, but I still did not feel hungry, so i guess it was just air passing around in there. My first Dr. appt is on Dec 4. I am quite anxious to go and get it done. Anxious to see if my scales are right.

Well chat later,

God bless you all.

This is one of the bravest things I have ever heard of.

I wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. It was so sweet to honor his wishes. I am sure he was with you the day of your surgery.

Sending you tons of well wishes on getting better and also sending condolences on your loss.
