  1. Good luck to both of you! I am now on soft and mushy-who knew mashed potatoes could inspire such overwhelming emotion! Janet
  2. I can't wait till I can show off being as gorgeous as you!!!! Mucho Kudos! Janet
  3. My deepest, deepest prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family-no one should have to endure such pain. Janet
  4. Good luck! Don't let the fear of pre-op stop you from going thru with it-I had very little discomfort after surgery, and they actually fixed a hiatal hernia while they were in there! You are lucky to have each other to support you! GOOD LUCK and keep reading the forum, it will give you tons of support and direction! Janet
  5. How can this be? I was gone for 4 days on business and came back expecting to see a big drop on the scale-could flying have made me retain water, or is the stupid measly 500 calories a day of clear liquids too much!!! AARGH! OK, I feel better-anyone else experiencing this? Thanks! Janet
  6. Hey there fellow South Carolonian-Carolinian? Anyway-good for you fighting the emotional eating head game-I think we ALL have that issue, or a regular diet would have worked for us (This is the part that skinny judge-mentals don't get!) Hang is there, you are doing AWESOME! Janet
  7. Good for you! I was banded on the 16th. so i am right there with ya! Again, I am amazed at the different approach Drs take-you're on protein? I am on clear for 2 weeks, but yesterday the Dr told me I could have 1 watered down protein a day since I am STARVING! (mentally and physically?) Anyway-keep that positive attitude, and we will somehow get through these next few weeks before food! Keep the fluids coming, sips consistently! Good luck! Janet
  8. Good Luck Susan and Hope! It helps to know there are so many of us sharing the same experiences and supporting each other! YEA US!! Janet
  9. CONGRATULATIONS! Even though I am a neewbie, just banded June 16, I have NO regrets! Maybe you could share some cool broth tips? I mean, how much can 1 girl do with consumme'? Janet
  10. Thanks girls! Actually, I gave in and had a watered down Unjury protein drink-my Dr wants me on clear liquids for 2 weeks, then soft mushy-at least I can hold off on the solids, but I needed something more! I promise not to do more damage than liquids, though! Thanks! Janet
  11. OK girls, I need strength! I had surgery Monday 6/16 and am doing great, but am starving! I can't get the clear liquids to satidfy my stomach or my mind! Chewing gum just caused more gas (gross) and I am travellng for work Tuesday-give me some tips, please!
  12. Hey everyone, been reading you for awhile-thanks for the silent support! I was banded on Monday-and feel GREAT!!! Why did I wait so long? If you guys only knew how much I have been pulling strength from all of your responses-well, thanks! Janet Columbia, SC Banded: 6/16/08 Previous weight: 205 Pre-surgery 198 5'2"
  13. Man, it feels good in some warped way to know that I'm not alone. I am getting banded on Feb 6 and can't wait...I can eat till I am almost sick, and just can't wait to be able to eat again. Only other addicts understand, and if i hear one more thin girl tell me to just not eat so much I will pull her hair out! Chin up, I am right there with you! Janet
  14. Congrats girl, I am getting mine Feb 6...nervous or excited? I know I'm both Janet
  15. OK everyone, here I am, surgery scheduled for Feb 6. How strong will I feel on Saturday if my surgery is Wednesday? Any help? Thanks!
