Getting ready to go

Posted 12-22-2006 at 03:10 PM by NW Island Girl
22 December 2006

I'm on Day 10 of the two-week pre-op liquid diet and doing well. The past three weeks have been hectic with concerts and commitments and wrapping up year-end things at the store, plus wild weather. The weight loss through this has been easy, in part because of my grief over the sudden death of my oldest car on Dec. 3. And this past week I have been doctoring cat #3 who has developed liver issues. I was sure I would take her with me back to California, and after...

Getting restless

Posted 10-20-2006 at 01:29 PM by NW Island Girl

Passed the 10-week pre-surgery mark this week and am getting restless. I wish I didnt' have to wait so long to get the band. I want to get going!! But as a self-pay, the only way to do it is to go to Mexico, and the only way to get it done in Mexico requires being away mid-week, and I just can't skip any mid-week rehearsals for Singers or church choir until after Christmas. So I'm waiting.

The growing number (at least five, maybe more) of Island Bandits...

Another Island Bandit

Posted 10-06-2006 at 05:10 PM by NW Island Girl
6 October 2006

I have discovered another Island Bandit, who also is a Theatre patron. He's been banded four about four months and has lost 50 pounds with no problems at all, which is encouraging since I believe he has had a number of health challenges prior to surgery.

I've also begun to participate in the Lap Band Talk forums, with replies on several threads, particularly to questions about nutrition -- getting the word out about non-soy/whey protein options, liquid nutritionals,...

Out of the Closet -- a little

Posted 10-05-2006 at 02:00 PM by NW Island Girl
5 October 2006

Yesterday I decided that it's time to tell a few of my closest friends and all of my family. Initially I had wanted to keep my surgery confidential, because I can't abide all kinds of people "monitoring" me, but knowing that I have to get through the December holiday-birthday-concert season on a pre-op liquid diet, I decided it was time to confess.

I've received several positive responses, and one curiously guilt-ridden friend who feels bad for...

Twelve Weeks out

Posted 10-03-2006 at 06:44 PM by NW Island Girl
3 October 2006

Twelve weeks from today I get my band.

The journaling tool has been out of service for awhile, so I have a little catching up to do here.

I've discovered that I'm not the first person on the Island to get a Lap Band, and I won't be the first person at the Theatre to have done it. Shortly after I opened this journal I discovered that I already know someone with a Band, who was banded in late July and has already lost 30 pounds. Now THAT's...
