I am 1/4 of the way there. Can wait until 1/2 pre-op that much closer to the surgery. Have a great day! K

Hey you are ahead of me so yours may be the better option as I am down 5 lbs and today is the start of day 4. Don't get me wrong I am happy! Keep up the great work fellow bander! Have an awesome day! I am off to pilates. Cheers, Kristi (Kiskis)

I am Feb 9th and on a 2 wk diet shakes, bar & 2 c veggies. Good luck! K

I am on day 3 with surgery on Feb 9 2 Meditrim shake & 1 bar + 2 cups of veggies a day Unlimited Jello, broth or anything sugar free My stomach didn't growl as much today. But every night I go to bed hungry. I am down 3.4 lbs. Me to I am a scale junkie! Good luck! Cheers, Kristi

I stop breathing 15 times an hour.

Glad it is n't just me!! I have tried for 3 months. I have moderate to severe sleep apenea. They turned down my machine and I still can't handle sleeping with it. I have to talk my clinic about it as I may try another mask. The problem is I am a very light sleeper. I hate the straps on my head. Either way I am not resest with or without. I guess they still may charge me for the machine. I am playing long so that it won't hold up my surgery. K Sleepless in Vancouver

My BFF lost 150 lbs said the same thing! Thanks for all your support! K

Today I was better at spacing it out. I eat veggies throught the day. I cooked a wack of spinach to satisfy me and give me lots of vitiamins. My husband is doing it with for support - just the diet part with shakes... I just want him eating stuff I would want. Thanks for your ideas & support! K

I better today working through the hunger. It is at night as I am not busy with work & multi-tasking. When is your surgery date? K

It is kind of like waiting for Christmas when you are a kid. I want these next 13 days to fly by! K

Thanks - that makes sense now. Yes, I am keeping my eye on the prize. Thanks for the motivation! K

Today was my first day for the pre-op diet I did great all day but tonight I am starving! why can you only have 2 cuos only of veggies? You would think you could have unlimited? I have had lots of jello & broth plus my 2 shakes, 1 bar & 2 cups of veggies.

I have a Eliptical & love it! It cost $400 3 years ago. I love working at home. I put bands on the walls with hooks, fitness ball & stacking weights. That is all you need. Cheaper and more private than a gym. K

I agree. The band is a tool and you want to still eat healthy great newsletter with great ideas & recipeswww.chefdave.org Dave is a bander. He is also on FB & Twitter too. K

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. My husband has decided to do the diet with me. He is amazing! I won't have to really cook anymore. Or at least for awhile. When is your surgery? K

It is rare but can happen. My BFF had those problems and had a 2nd surgrey and now all OK & still banding she lost 150 lbs. My 2 other friends no problem. Don't worry! K

I am Feb 9th too. Start pre-op shakes & bars tomorrow. Scared of failing that part. Bought jello, popcyicles, crystal light & anything fat free & sugar free in sight! Good luck all Feb Bansters! K

I am having mine on Feb 9. My BMI is about 28-40? I start my shakes & bars tomorrow. We can keep in touch if you like since we have similar dates for support? Good luck.

In Canada the surgery isn't covered we have to pay the whole shot. Good luck!

I am lucky as my BFF had is 8 years ago and is a great support!

Me too. Did you have your surgery yet?

17 days to my surgery date & 2 days until I start my pre-surgery shakes & bars. Getting in the zone!
