Topic: RE: Any December Lap Banders
I should be at the hosptial getting my lap band today, but due to an expected snow storm, the doctor is not doing any surgeries today !! WTF, I kept my side of the bargain and stayed on my pre-op diet for the last 2 weeks, including over XMAS and my surgery is cancelled because we may get 6 inches of snow.
Next available date is not until end of January !!!!!!!!!!

Topic: RE: Any advice when you overeat?
Ya, this has definitely taught me that I have to measure things out. I also think that the soup I made was just too rich and I just wasn't even thinking when I made it. There were a lot of things in the recipe that I could've changed. I ended up being up from about midnight to 2 am on the porcelain god praying homage to the garbage can at the same time. It was NOT fun. Good thing it wasn't tonight.. that would've been a New Year's to remember, eh? lol
Thanks for the advice! I'm going to try to be better about measuring!

Topic: Lap Banders - how long til you went back to work?
Hi there:
My biggest worry isn't the surgery but the recovery, and how slow/quick/painful it may be.
I need to get back to work as soon as possible as I have a new position at work, new boss, new staff, new internal customers... I guess I'm having a hard time with saying I'll be out for surgery in this situation. I'm under pressure to go to some all day meetings not long after. One part of me says a short flight, a stay in a nice hotel and a day sitting shouldn't be too bad, but I don't really know.
The liquid diet is the easiest part - just bring the shake powder along.

Wow congratulations. Thats awesome you are at the gym. I still get really tired doing stuff around the house, so I haven't even tried to exercise. You motivated me to walk around my apartment.

I over drank my protein today and thought I was going to die. Apparently I can't do 4 oz of the stuff, only 2 oz. I felt like i was going to die. The only thing that got me through was laying down for about 2 hrs. I haven't vomited yet but boy did I wish I would have.
I think this is all one big learning experience. There are going to be plenty more times when you get this feeling. Alos I mesure everything out but noticed that now at 2 wks out I am not able to hold as much liquids as I did at one week. I think its because my stomach is finally going down. Thats the main cause of my overeating. I measure everything in 2 oz servings.
