Yes!!! Can't believe it.. Feels like so long ago I started this process... August 24 to be exact! KAH... Does clear liquids mean no Protein shakes? I'll be keeping you in my thoughts! @carolina... You are right around the corner, we'll keep ya posted! It's weird but ya all seem like my buddies now... I haven't told anyone other than hubby, kids so having people to talk to has been a life saver... Thank you so much!!!

Can you believe it is almost here!!! Good luck and let me know how it went... I'll do the same!

Carolina... When is your surgery? I will post it all.. Love the iPhone app...

Oh yes Carolina... I am waking up and so full of energy... I usually want to stay in bed and "rest" a little longer, always have a bit if a fog but since pre op diet I am waking up refreshed and ready to get going.... Love this feeling! Glad you are doing well too... Can't believe it's only 1 more day!

Yes.. Agree with Carolina, the new crystal lights are really good. The chicken broth is what fills me up the most, plus it's not sweet, getting tired of everything being sweet! I'm on day 4... Having surgery on the 29th. Funny thing is that last night I was so hungry and frustrated, woke up today, not hungry, no cravings.. Like magic overnight it got so much easier. So hang in there, it gets easier! Good luck, keep us posted!

How's everyone doing.... This sucks so so so bad!!! I swear time has slowed. It seems much worse at night... Still sticking 100% but so ready to throw in the towel, I won't but dang I want some food!!!!! I may never eat jello again!

This site is awesome! I would be so much more nervous about surgery with out all of you. It has meant a great deal to me to read so many great posts. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Thanks.. At least I will know I'm not dying... Sounds a bit scary!

I am being banded Tuesday. I have read the term "sliming" several times... What is that or is it too gross to explain? It sounds ... well not fun!

Bahahaha! He's a funny guy... Lol. No I'm trying to think of something that if I cheated it probably wouldn't really affect the diet... I am so so hungry! I have been doing a breakfast shake but that was it, thinking 2 would have been more helpful... And don't get me wrong, I would dig into an Italian firehouse sub right now and not look up until it was gone!!! #reallywantfoodbut

Thanks Shy! I can't wait. Love having y'all here for extra support and advice! I like so fast I can't be nervous! Yes I am having plication... And good job Carolina! I am dying to have an egg white or something... Not gonna do it but really really want to. Hang in there KAH... We're almost there!

I have to be there at 6:30 for 8:30! Question for you all, my doc gives me the choice to stay the night or go home ( if everything is ok, no complications) I'm leaning towards staying, any advice or opinion on that first night?

My surgery date is May 29... Right now that seems like an impossibly long time from now... Tomato Basil soup sounds so good! Honestly I never knew chicken broth could be my favorite meal of the day!

Omg... Hillarious!!! My surgery is the 29.. You?

I was told the surgeon chooses the best size for you... Higher BMI and men usually get larger band according to my counselor, but ultimately up to surgeon.

Just had my broth... Feeling much better.. Maybe I needed some salt?

@ dolly, What do you mean old?? I got my packet today it said lap band AP, 3 rd generation.. Is that old? It comes in 10 and 14 according to my counselor? What questions should I ask to be sure? Thanks for your help

Yes.. My pre-op is 4-6 shakes, unlimited sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicles and calorie free beverages plus 8 oz broth... Tylenol is helping some... Thank goodness!!!

This is my first day... Bad headaches and feel blah.. Is that normal?

Did you try sugar free Jello?
