Hey! I am flying in on January 10th (Sunday), Surgery on the 11th (Monday), and flying back from San Diego to Arkansas on the 13th (Wednesday). I'm really excited. I'm just like you...I have been losing weight over the holidays and I never thought that would happen!!

Hey Debbie! Your weight loss is amazing! You are looking great! What do you eat every day? I know that walking and exercising is definitely the key!! What is in your tomato pie recipe?? My mom will be having the lap band done in March and loves tomatos. She's interested in the recipe for it!

Your pictures are great Kristi!!

Questions regarding getting back on track
Kayla replied to CookieJ's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
CookieJ, I can not give you much advice as I will be having my lap band surgery in January. But, I want to wish you the best. This forum has been nothing but great here for me. I have been researching the lap band surgery for a couple of years now. Once a friend from the same town as me told me about Dr. Ortiz (and after looking at lap band surgeons in Mexico), I decided he was the one I would go to. It's been a long hard battle of losing weight, but if you put your mind to it, you can do anything. And, I believe you can too!!! I know what you mean about it being harder during the holidays. I'm on Pre-Op diet and it seems like every time I turn around, there is food!! But, I just have to stay motivated and know that in the end, it will be better I didn't eat it! Keep us updated and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! -
Janice, thanks for asking this question. I'm curious about this too. I don't normally chew it that much, but I randomly do at times! Of course, I could quit it if I had to.

Congratulations Kristi! That is awesome!!

Thanks Angie! I like this forum a lot for all the support it gives. I thought it was going to be harder to lose these pounds. I am just cutting back on my eating and trying my best to do the 2 shakes and 1 lean cuisine meal a day. If I am unable to have the lean cuisine meal due to being out of town, I just eat a salad. 9 more pounds to go!!

Thanks for your help! My father and I will be having our lap band surgery both the same day on the 11th, which our lap band coordinator told us all transportation was in the package. I am very excited but am loving this forum to find out many tips and travel information that will help later on when going for fills. So now I know that it is cheaper to just do your own travel reservations and make your own arrangements when coming back for fills. I am really excited about having this done as I've been overweight all of my life and for a couple of years now, obese! Thanks again for all the info! I may be coming back here in a few months to ask you more questions!

and I just read where you have it! January 7th! Just a few days before me! Good luck and keep us posted!!

Hi Amy! I'm from Arkansas and will be having the surgery on January 11th! When are you having yours? I'm so excited! You know, I've lost 6 pounds too and have 9 more to lose!! Good luck with everything
I wish you the best! -
HEYYYYY! I was waiting to hear from you! I am so happy to hear these things! It makes me even more excited about January 11th!!!! Keep me updated on your progress ok??? Safe journey back to Cali

Hi, I have a question. So, I am having surgery on January 11th and the OCC will have someone to come pick us up from San Diego airport and take us to the hotel. Is it easier for us to take a taxi to the taxi stand, go through the customs building, and then catch another taxi to the airport instead of waiting hours to get through the border (when leaving..and for going for fills, etc.)? What do you suggest?
-
I just weighed tonight and I am down 6 pounds! I am so excited. 9 more required pounds to lose before surgery day on January 11th. I am really thankful for this forum. I really enjoy reading everyones comments and you guys are always so filled full of encouragement. It makes me more and more excited about my decision to get the lap band. I will return here most certainly and keep in touch with everyone. I will keep everyone posted of my progess. GOOD JOB to everyone and once again, thanks for posting these

Hey! Did you have your surgery? Let me know how everything went! I am done with finals now and am so relieved and not stressed! So, I should be able to focus more on this pre-op diet! Good luck with everything and keep me posted!
-
I got my paper done that was stressing me out the most. Now, I just have to study for two finals tomorrow, prepare for a presentation on Wednesday, and 2 finals on Thursday! Ahhh it's a little too much especially when trying to diet!! You can make it through your finals! As long as you put your mind into it, you can achieve anything!!! Good luck!!! I...

Oops I just read that you had it done less than 2 months ago! Just read that from the message yesterday!
-
Awesome! I haven't told anyone but one friend. I don't want people to look at me like I am cheating my way out to lose weight. I would hope they would not think that...but then I have the other thought like I don't care what people think. lol I'm really excited!! When did you have yours done??
-
Hey! Thanks for writing to me! Have you had any problems? If you could do it over again, would you have done it? Any tips you have for me?? I'm really excited! I'll be having it done January 11th!
-
It is hard though to diet especially because of the holidays. So so so hard! I wish you the best too!
Let me know how everything goes!!
