December 15

Guess what I'm doing Dec 15!

LAP BAND, Baby!!! I'm excited (you can probably tell that!)

I'm ready. I have all my supplies and the bike and books and magazines and every kind of protein powder known to man. I actually like protein powders.

I want to be an incredible shrinking woman, even if it goes slowly.

How many times a day can I post that I'm hungry online during the 10 day pre op liquid phase? I hear it gets better after day 3 or 4.

Yahoooooo!!!  You go, Girlfriend!   Be excited, you will soon have a new tool to help!

Post away, but I have to say the liquid phase wasn't too bad for me.

You will be a star.  You have educated yourself well and are prepared, and that is 1/2 the battle.

I am so excited for you, and I found the liquid diet ok after the 3rd or 4th day.

Wow, that was quick!  Got the date already!  Dec 15 is good, you will be feeling pretty good by Christmas I think.  Same as everyone else, the liquid diet isn't so bad once you get used to it.  You can complain about being hungry as much as you want, YOU EARNED IT!  Besides, typing away on the computer will keep you busy!  YEAH FOR YOU!!!!!!! 

Yahoo....lady....i'll be praying and rootin for you!

 wooohooo!! congrats...  come on an complain as much as possible an needed.. it will keep u preoccupied an keep u from doing something u will regret... trust me..  u earne the right to complain...  it does get easier after a few days when ur body rids itself of all the toxic crap we have fed it an u stop "feening" for things u never needed to begin with.. its hard but u CAN and WILL do it!!! hugs!!

Thanks so much, guys. I feel very strong with all of you having had wt loss surgery. My son will be home Christmas from Seoul but my daughter can't get off work. He's busy with his fiancee, though, so I just need to make sweet potato fluff and pecan pie for him and then I'm done. We've actually decided to have Christmas lunch at the assisted living place where my Mom and my husband's Dad and his wife are living. So it will be an easy holiday for me. I can drink my protein shakes or whatever I'm allowed 10 days post op and I'll be fine. It will be nice to have some holidays from work so I can goof off after surgery. I can't BELIEVE I have a date. I was starting to believe it wasn't going to happen. I went to my first meeting in May and thought I could get it done by summer. Silly Ronda.....

Congrats!! You're gonna do great.

Yippee...whaaahooooo...   I am so happy for you... that was fast... I am glad you got it before years end like you wanted..
I will be praying for you but I know that you are going to be just fine.. ..

You can complain all you want but I bet you will be surprised that you won't be as hungry as you think..  I have been on liquids since last Sat and I am actually not hungry at all.. I even have company this week that has to be fed..and its is all ok.. I am drinking my broth and doing the protein drinks and water and doing great..   stay busy it seems to help the time go by fast too.. your date will be here before you know it..

You are only a couple of weeks behind me.. we are going on this part of our journey pretty much together.. 

Yay! I am so happy for you! 
You will be in my thoughts and prayers !
