One week from now my surgery will be all done. I am getting excited. This pre-op diet is going pretty well. I started on Monday and have done very well. I had a little salad tonight which isn't on the pre-op diet but, I figured it couldn't hurt. I am really trying to focus on what and how my life is going to change after this. Eating habits and everything. It is going to be a big change but, I am ready for it.

I am starting my pre op diet tomorrow. I am getting exciting about the surgery but, I am a little worried about being able to stay on this liquid diet. I think it is just my anxiety though. I guess I will see how tomorrow goes. After reading this I think I will try the Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast. I will see how it goes and make adjustments I guess. Wish me luck!!!

Had my pre op appointment today. It went well. I didn't realize that they were going to be doing all they did. I thought maybe some lab work, ultra sound and xray. Ended up being that and more. Ultra sound, X-ray, Upper GI, EKG, Respiratory test, blood gas test, and Blood work. It went pretty well. I am getting excited and can't wait get started with my new journey. Not looking forward to this liquid diet but, I will do whatever it takes to get healthy.

Hi Shelley I am from the Dayton area. Dr. Bruce is my doctor too. I am having my lap band done on December 16th. I am getting very excited and nervous. Are you happy with your surgery so far? Do you have any advice?? Thanks, Diana

My surgery date is the 16th. I am starting my pre op diet on the 6th or maybe earlier. I am getting excited and nervous all at the same time.

Hi everyone- I am new here and a December Bandster!!! December 16th is my date. It is a couple days after my birthday so it is a great gift to myself. I am getting excited and nervous. Which I know is normal. I am looking forward to my new adventures ahead of me. My husband has been very supportive and plans on joining me in trying to lose weight and get healthy. I look forward to coming here and getting to know everyone and have a place to come for additional support. Here's to a new life and new start Diana
