That's wonderful!! I bet your clothes are fitting better.... I can't wait to buy or fit into smaller clothes!! How much do you want to lose? Donna

Hello Donna, Have you talked to Dr. Ortiz or his staff? could it have leaked? Or maybe you have some hormone or thyoid issues? I haven't had mine yet, so not the best person to respond, but I feel your pain. I hope and pray you are succesful with your next 60 lbs. good luck girl, Donna K

Judy Thanks for the advice!! My biggest concern is now getting back to work, I'm getting it done on fri, and going back on tues.... ok you said you were hungry the first week, physical or head hunger or both? Donna

Ok, I Have a date of March 7th, but I want to move it up two weeks? They said I could, but wouldn't have a private room. Can Anyone tell me how important that is??? Please help!! Donna

Do you have to worry about getting enough calories?

I haven't heard that, Curiious if it's true???

How long are you supose to drink only liquids??

Kym, YOu look Fabulous!!! I am getting banded in 23 day!!!! and am stuggling with the pre diet, I can't seem to get my head in the game..... Donna

THANKYOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR ALLL THE INFO YOU HAVE BEEN SO HELPFUL!!!

I have not been banded yet, I was at the gym and they have ISO Pure its a clear liquid with 40 grams of protein. Does anyone know if these would help get the things you need?? I was thinking about trying them. I think you can get them from someone selling Isogenics (spelling?) I sure how you get to feeling better, God Bless, Donna

Thankyou for your response, you are making me feel better!! I wish I didn't have to wait, but I wanted my hubby to go with me, and a weekend would be eaiser! How much weight do you want to lose? and How did you do with the pre-surgery diet? I was going to do the 4 week one but I'm struggling to get my mind set there. I want to eat because I know I will be restricted. Why do I do this to myself.. Are you going back there for your fills or somewhere here in Cali? Whar area are you in? Gees can you tell I'm a little nervous sorry for all the question.... I'm at about 211 right now, and 5'5" and in Riverside County area. I'm thinking I will just go back to TJ for fills my in-laws are in San Diego so they can watch the kids while we go down there. Do you feel tired or week getting back to work or life? I'm a hairstylist and not planning on taking much time, think that will be a problem?? Take care, Donna

Well After watching Oprah, I felt more comforable about going to Mexico. I have only told a few people, I'm not interested in hearing there crap, I mean there imput! I'm still scared to death, but I'm praying everything goes smoothly!! I'm 33 and have struggled of course like eveyone else, my whole life. I'm over it!! I feel a little like I'm cheating, which is stupid, because I know it's hard work!!! Anyone else with the same date?? Donna from So California
