I just started my pre-op diet today. 7 days for me. This first day is going ok I guess....if daydreaming about food but not eating it counts....?!?!? Best of luck!

Yes, Mis73 pretty much answered why my doctor says to have one.
Thank you Mis73
I am thinking about just ordering the id part and making my own bead work so I can have several different styles at an affordable cost.

I will be on a liquid diet for one week before my band and it is 4th of July week!! Please say a prayer for me! I love BBQ and all the sides, but I will be saying I LOVE my Protein shake....yes I do!!

I'm July 9th too! I am going to start a pre-op diet next week to help me get use to less food before my liquid diet starting July 2nd. Good luck!

I am proud to say I will be a July Bandster! Who is joining me?

I am just getting started, and I have seen my primary doctor for the paperwork needed by my doctor, Pysch eval doctor appt, dietician and nurse appt just yesterday, then my next step is to meet the doctor and go over everything (get approved) then schedule my surgery and one other appt but I forgot what it was..some kind of class. Good luck!

I can't wait to say I wear a size 6!!! I am currently a mirror image you what you were (I am only 2 pounds over your start weight and same height!!) and in the process of seeing the dietician and nurse actually tomorrow. If you don't mind me asking, what all did you have to qualify, or did you self pay. I am going through my insurance and I hope I have met the needed critiera. Fingers Crossed!! Good luck on your 30 to lose, you can do it!
