  1. Thanks Shy! I'm ready (I think). I've been up since 5 am lol so I'm just trying to stay busy today-- do laundry, make sure my shopping is done etc!
  2. Hi tomato. Welcome! I'm having surgery tomorrow! Yay. This site has been so helpful to me. Hope it's the same for you.
  3. Hi May bandsters! My surgery is tomorrow. Wow, even typing the word 'tomorrow' makes it feel scary. Lol I'm headed to the hospital early and staying overnight. I'm getting anxious. Any words of wisdom for me from those banded earlier this month?!
  4. Oh good! I bought a few boxes! Im ready for surgery tomorrow!
  5. Good for you! Tomorrow is Clear liquids only for me. I can't believe my surgery is on Tuesday! Bama has the same date I think. I'm sure we'll both post details for you!
  6. My surgery is on Tuesday!! I was hungry last night and do I went to bed before 9pm lol...of course I woke up early but I'm taking the pup to the park and keeping busy!
  7. Nervous, but keeping busy.
  8. My surgery is on Tuesday. I told 2 people: my dad and 1 friend. Both know that this is a big deal for me and I can trust them not to say anything to anyone. Who knows how I will feel in the future, but for now I really want to do this for myself and don't want to tell many people. I love all my friends, but I don't really want to hear their opinions on my decision. LOL It's so easy for people to think, "oh that's the easy way out" but we all know this isn't an easy journey. Good luck!
  9. Carolina- I just came back from the spa too! Great way to pass time on this pre op diet!
  10. Carolina--Well, it goes without saying that you can b!tch all you want and we're here to listen! Lol Ps: I'm alternating right now between excited like wow I'm gonna lose this weight and nervous like yikes they're folding my stomach in and putting a band on it! Also, there's the anxiety of what my new life will be like/feel like after the procedure.
  11. I'm on modified...then clear liquids only on monday. I know I'll be fine. Not letting myself get upset about it. I like being able to vent and get real with you guys. I've told 2 people about my surgery and they're supportive, but there is no way for them to really 'get it' with this whole process.
  12. I'm allowed to eat cream of wheat pretty early on (I'm being banded in 4 days)
  13. I will admit I cheated today, but I'm back in the right mindset and ready for these next few days of liquids before surgery. I'm also doing overnight at the hospital and not outpatient. I think it's better to be safe than sorry, right?!
  14. Bratt and Stacey- how r u feeling now? I'm getting banded Tuesday. Still in pain?
  15. Really? Still bad gain pain? I'm getting banded 29th
  16. Amazing!
