This may be too soon or maybe already started but I got my date for December 2nd and thought us December Bandsters should start to follow each other. Any takers? How's the preop appointments going? the preop diet? Any news is good news! (except for the fact that I have to quit smoking!!!!) :blushing:

Trust me - no one wants me to post my 'before' pictures until I have 'after' pictures that puts them to shame! :thumbup:

suzy - have you considered creating a blog? I know nothing about it (trust me) but I thought I'd give it a whirl and recently created one. It's alot like a journal... only public. Kind of scary.

So I took care of all my pre-op tests this am. I had an EKG, a chest xray and blood work done. *What I found interesting was that the radiologist had to do my chest xrays twice - he had to turn the film horizontally becuase I have such large lungs. When I had my gallbladder removed, the surgeon told me that my gallbladder was larger than he thought it would be too. So I was thinking... maybe ALL my internal organs, including my stomach, are oversized. It's just how the good Lord made me. That would explain A LOT. Anywaya, it sure makes the idea of getting a little pouch just that much better!

I'd planned my "last meal" of chipotle burrito bol tonight, but went in for my pre-op this morning and they moved my surgey date up. Liquid diet starts today. lol. I love my luck.

Oh no! I'm sorry. It's okay... It isn't like you can NEVER have one again. You'll just eat a lot less of it when you do.

Do you guys have a list of things you want to eat before you start your liquid diet? I DO! lol Just one more time I really want to enjoy certain foods.

My husband actually laughed at me today as I was scarfing down some lasagna. He says that I'm celebrating each bite that I take like it's the last thing I'll ever eat! :thumbup:

My surgery is Dec 1st, and we're going to eat at Applebees one Saturday night...one last "normal" time.

Sorry for the confusion!... but the posting space allowed on the group board isn't enough for our list - so I'm just going to continue to post it here. Hope that works for everyone.

Oh no! I'm sorry. It's okay... It isn't like you can NEVER have one again. You'll just eat a lot less of it when you do.

I'm hoping I can have it again. Rice is my absolute favorite food in the world and it's on a quite a few bandsters' no-can-do list, so fingers crossed.

Anywho, I just sipped my chicken broth and pretended it was chipotle. Wasn't so bad.

:thumbup:

Surgery is Dec 2nd!!! Had gallbladder out 10/30/09! Dr said lapband surgery is easier!

I am on day 4 of my liquid diet, today was much easier then yesterday. The night before I started the diet hubby took me out for a last dinner and a couple of Mragaritas. Probably not a smart move to over eat then go on a steic diet the next day

How can I join this dear group? I am in process, trying to move my surgery date from Dec 7th to the 14th....so as soon as I have it firmed up I can get on your list?

I like the Stars of Bandleham. :confused: we are all gonna be stars

Sara 49.4 BMI weight 332, ideal goal 150, but will take 170. heh heh :ohmy:

we could also be called GOOD HUMOR [no pun intended]

Had bloodwork done today! Getting excited and nervous all at the same time!
