Hello everyone, Well tomorrow is the day I fly to Tijuana. I am so calm about this whole thing. I guess it won't really hit until I am there. I have fought and struggled to loose the 11 lbs I was supposed to loose. I am down 6 lbs, that upsets me but it is what it is and I cannot dwell on it. I can't wait to meet everyone that is being banded. Bringing the ole camera with me so I can take lots of pictures. Hugs Trudy

Well this is just great!!!!!! I woke up with a cold this morning. Surgery in 6 days. I guess I will phone Rene and ask him if I should go on antibiotics to get rid of it. I am sure I can't be sick for the surgery.

Thank you for the info. I was not comfortable with lying and didn't see a reason to do it. Hugs Trudy

Someone on another forum had mentioned not to say I am getting a surgery in Mexico but to say I am going on holidays when I am crossing to US and to Mexico. Should I do that and why should I? Hugs Trudy

Where can I get Biotin? I have never heard of it but I have had severe hairloss for about 8 years now and it would be nice to stop it. DH is getting tired of the hair clogging the shower drain LOL Hugs Trudy -
Sylvia darling...you WILL succeed!!!! I am also freeking out, but trying to stay positive. I sent an email to Dr. Miranda about my weight loss as it is slow for me too. She said to be sure to take your chromium picolinate. Also Rene suggested having the lean cuisine at lunch instead of dinner and to be sure to take the metramucil for fibre. Try this and I am sure we will both loose what we need to loose. Hugs Trudy

OK Grammy, we are in this together and we will succeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > Hugs Trudy

So we are going to end up going to OCC for fills. Dang is that going to get expensive flying fron Canada. Mexico has such a stigmatism as a 3rd world country. Maybe these doctors should do their research on OCC and their doctors. Hugs Trudy

Thank you so much for the support everyone. I guess I was having a weak moment there. The scale was not moving and I felt like I was going to fall apart. Over night I have lost 5 lobs....go figure!!!!!! Today is a new day and I am feeling better. Hugs Trudy

OK, I am starting to wonder if I am making the right decision. I have 1 week to go and negative thoughts are creaping in, like...what if I end up with heartburn problems? And what if I find a way around the band and don't loose the weight anyway? I am freeking myself out. Not only that but I gained 2 lbs and am now down only 2 lbs. I have 1 week to loose 9 lbs and the scale is not moving. I have been very faithful to the preop diet. I think I will email Dr. Miranda and see what she says. Hugs Trudy

I'm not a diabetic...thank God!!! So that isn`t my problem. It must be that my body needs it. I did have a habit of not drinking for 3-4 days at a time so I am plaing catch up now. Aren`t I terrible Hugs Trudy

Thanks gang, I knew it I came to you I would get answers. Now, what about crystal lite? Is it ok to add that to the water? If I do does it still count as the 8 glasses of water? Water gets kinda dull after a while for me. Hugs Trudy
-
Why the heck am I so thirsty???? I am drinking my water and shakes and I am still so thirsty. Hugs Trudy

I got the Myoplex Lite from Popeyes supplement store. I am sure you can get it anywhere as it is a EAS body for life product. It has 25g protien including whey, and 180 calories. I mix it with skim milk. MMMMMMMM It comes in a box of 20 individual packages Hugs Trudy
-
I bought the Myoplex lite yesterday. Wow is it thick! It's like drinking down a milkshake. Yummy!!!!! =D> :cheerleader: Oh BTW I got on the scale today (days 3 of preop) and I am down 4 lbs already. I hope loosing the 11 lbs I need to loose will be this easy. No hunger pangs, just a headache....so far. Hugs Trudy

WOW you look amazing. Now go out and buy a top that fits you, it will make you feel sooooooo good about the work you are doing. Hugs Trudy -
Thanks for the info Janet. I will have to check into the meetings. Hugs Trudy

Geez I'm not even banded yet and I have the gas issues already. What is my family in for when I am banded. This is going to be interesting. DH complains about my gas now....lol he is in for it. I will have an excuse now though. "can't help it, it's the band" :lb6: :good3: Hugs Trudy -

Not a great pic of me. I like to hide behind the kids so no one really sees me. -
Congrats bandster!!!!!! Glad to hear everything went well. Enjoy your new life. =D> :lb24: Hugs Trudy

I went to get the protien powder today and he asked if I wanted a drink that would sustain me for a while or one that doesn't. I have no idea!!!! What am I looking for protien wise, calorie wise, and carb wise?
-
In your opinion what was the best tasting protien shake for the preop diet? Did you use powder and water/milk or the ready to go shakes?
