I am a Feb Banster as well.... I am doing mine on friday the 24th!! i am so excited and nervous!! Hello to every one on here and Good Luck! I look forward to following all of you on your journey and pics.

I had to do mine for 3 months and it really is not a big deal, at least it wasnt for me. Just make sure you keep your appts on time not before or after. The time will fly by....Good luck!

Wow, I hope my spouse is that way!! lol.. We are doing the journey together. I am getting my band the 24th and she is getting hers some time with in the next 4-6 weeks. I hope our love life comes back!.. congrats to yours being renewed....lol..

Sounds like you went what I went through. We need to count our blessings, I the the choice of your dr or dr coon, I chose to go to Dr. Coon. I am schedualed for the 24th....Good LUCK!!!

What a wonderful way to look at a new life! I wont miss worrying about having clothes to fit me, because I keep getting larger. I wont miss looking at pictures of my self and crying. I wont miss avoiding the camera and being out of most of the holiday family pictures. and there are so many others. Thank you for this insight.

I am so glad to hear you are doing well. I am being banded on the 24th! I am excited and scared. But I am sure all will be fine. How are you doing now? are you on the soft food diet?

I have a vitamix, and I LOVE IT!!!! They are a little pricey but they they last and are amazing!!! this will even blend up the seads in strawberries! My smoothies are not full of seeds, and I still get the amazing nutriance the seeds offer. http://www.vitamix.com/ hope this helps you.

Thank you everyone for all your support! I cant wait to see what the future holds for all of us!

I agree, the first 3 days seem to be the hardest, I wanted to cheat so badly and all I could think about is what I could be eating, but then I started thinking about what I could mess up and all the work I did to get here and I said NO MORE food thoughts just think about the good that is going to come,,, seems to be the only thing that has helped me as well....good luck!

Wow you are really prepaired, i wish I was...lol. It would of made things so much easier. Good Luck and keep us posted. I hope to have an update for all of you on sat.

The liquid diet depends on your body and your docotr, it depends on what is needed for surgery. I am not sure why I had to do one, I just went with the flow... Good luck! keep us posted

I just wanted to introduce my self. I am Sophia and my surgery date is set for the 24th, I am excited nervous and scared , but I know in the end it will all be worth it. I am on the liquid pre op diet right now and I am having the hardest time. I have to tell my brain and mouth NO! a lot. Is any one else going through the pre op diet as well, any advise for those who have already gone through it? I keep telling my self 4 more days and then my brain says nope, its a few more weeks... lol!
