I think they call it "last supper syndrome" lol. I totally did this in February and my surgery is May 31 so you see how long I went. I gained 15 lbs in the process. It gets better I promise but you can't think about never eating (name of favorite junk food goes here) start thinking about it like next time I have it I will only be able to have this much of it. You will make it!

Doreen you started where I am now. Mu surgery is May 31. hope my surgery has similar results. Way to go! Keep it up!

Quadruplets are way more fun! I start my diet the same day you do. Good luck to the three of you. You will all be in my prayers.

I can't believe my date is almost 3 weeks away when I scheduled it in march it seemed so far off now it's nearly here! But before I focus on that I have to get through finals week. I would really appreciate prayers for focus and clarity as I embark on this journey of finals. Thank you!

I did the first part of my shopping today. Got some protein shakes to start trying, picked up some blender bottles, some sugar free jello, and some crystal light. I want to start getting use to my new way of eating so I'm going to start my pre liquid diet diet by doing a shake for breakfast and lunch then having dinner. I still need to pick up a blender. I just can't settle on which one to get. I also picked up gummy vitamins and gummy fiber supplements. Any suggestions on the blender? I'm stuck between the magic bullet, the ninja, and the oster my blend. Thx for the help.

Make that triplets! Congrats! I won't know what tome till my pre op appt on the 17th. So happy for all of the May bandsters!!

Ok so I'm thinking the best way to blend the protein shakes properly is going to be a small blender. Does any body have any suggestions which one to get as they vary so much in price from $20 to $100. Also what was the best way you found to take your shakes with you when you go to work? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I have a 2 week liquid diet and I don't even get to choose my own brand of protein drink. My Dr only has 2 choices both of which you have to get through him. But I'm ok with that I guess.

Two months from today I will begin a brand new life. I thank God that He gives us do overs in life. This is my chance to really start fresh. I can't wait.

Every day we get closer to our dates. Sometimes it feels like we are never gonna get there, and sometimes it seems like it's coming up so quickly!

Hi I'm new here but my surgery is scheduled for may 31. I probably could have scheduled it before then but I'm in college and as much as I want this surgery done I also want to pass my classes. I'm so ready for this to get here and be done with it and move on with my new life in which I won't physically be able to eat everything in sight. I'm excited at the thought of feeling full for once without having to first eat more food than one should be able to at one time. Thanks for listening to me ramble my soon to be banded friends!
