Topic: RE: Are you Bypass or Band???
I had the Lap Band on 8/8/06. By now, I'm having very little pain and still haven't felt hungry yet. My husband keeps eating tempting-smelling foods, but I have had no desire to eat them. The hardest part was not just picking up an apple chip sample in the grocery store without thinking about it.

Topic: Tuesday's the day
hi. it's sunday and my surgery is on tues. i'm so excited and nervous. thank you to the kind people who have written me notes of support. i've got a big box of protein samples (from the VitaLady -highly recommended) and all my liquid vitamins and soups and oatmeals and applesauce and who knows what all else. oh and my new hand blender kicks ass. so i guess i'm ready. going in to work tomorrow to try and tie up as many loose ends as possible. i imagine since i'll only be on clear liquids that i'll be a little *****y. oh well, serves em right. i've also had a couple of colonics over the last couple of days to get as cleaned out and relaxed inside as possible. i'll have another tomorrow night. i overate this morning, and i'm mad at myself, but i guess it's not surprising. i can't wait to not feel hungry and to measure out my 2 oz. meals. i guess that's it. please keep your fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

Lea, My surgery is scheduled for 8/29 in Tennessee. Good luck to you. I need others to encourage me to stay on a regular exercise routine. It is so easy for me to put it off all day and then miss out on it completely. Maybe we can help one another out!

Welcome home, Glad your surgery went off uneventful. Now you need to get some rest so you will have enough strength for the rest of your journey. Remember to try and get in enough liquids and sip, sip, sip. Keep us updated! Twinnytwin

Topic: RE: Surgery postponed
Hi Heather... my surgery was postponed as well. I was scheduled for surgery on July 31st and got the call the Thursday prior telling me that my surgery had to be postponed til 9/18 - omg I was so freaking devastated! I finally just accepted it and realized that hey when its meant to happen it will (although I was still p-od!)Anyway... for some reason i got a call from my surgeons office on 7/31 and rescheduled me for 8/5 which worked out so much better being a saturday! I didn't have to do so much coordination with my son, etc.. so what I'm trying to tell you is that it will work out for the best even though you don't see it now you will. Hang in there! I will say a prayer for ya and hope that you get an early date! Heather RNY-8/5/06 210/189/125
