I think I did mine in the profile with signature.

I have lost about 8 pounds in the last less than two weeks in getting ready to do my liquids by drinking the special K drinks for Breakfast lunch and snack and then eating regular meal in evening. Trying to get myself in a liquid mode. I love the drinks and my dr. said they were good to go for me. vanilla and strawberry my favorite but my mom and daughter love chocolate. They are in the pharmacy area at walmart. Did not like the slimfast at all.

thanks I love reading your info and blog

Good luck with your appointment and the banding, I have mine isn aug and am both scared and happy about it. I started a post about those that have had it done for more than 5 years and have already gotten responses.. That will help me

I am wondering if there are any veteran of the banding on here, say 4or5 years or more with the band. Would like to know how things have progressed over the years and if any problems occured? How was keeping off the weight........

I am scheduled 8/11 and glad to also hear the results. That is what the site is for cat lady so keep asking questions , thats the only way we get answers.

I am now a follower of you blog but don't know how it works so will just keep looking. My date for banding is aug 11 and I have started getting in supplies also.

I get banded on 8/11 start liquids on 2nd. So excited but so nervous too.

congrats on the wedding date, be happy and be willing to compromise with each other.

Pray you get sooner also. The wait for me has been the hardest thing.Had to wait the 6 months for my insurance to pay for it. It is great that you have a good support.

You might want to try some different Soup broths and Protein drinks ahead of time so you will have something you actually will like drinking. I have the special K drinks and Lipton onion soup mix(will have to strain) (bought me a little strainer to fit on cup) and tried the Meijers Protein Drink mix ,,,,, it is ok but for the calories the special K drinks are better to me. Also putting in a stock of sugarfree Jello since it is on my list and sugarfree popcicles. If you know of anything share with us.

Great news, so happy for you. Start my pre op diet on aug. 2 . Did they give you a list of liquids yet to use? I have been getting them in the house so I can be prepared. Was told that was the best route so you don't have to guess......"now what do i drink today"..... So ready for our journey to start. bigred77

I am having trouble doing this but hope this gets on here. I am new to it to and would love to link up with some people having it too. Going over all my paperwork again and getting my liquids in the pantry so I am prepared. I guess first I need to learn this forum stuff and then we can get it going right. My date is 8/11/11
