same day as mine!

I am off on weekends too. I work with the public and am worried my patience will be non-existent. lol! Thank goodness it's only 2 weeks and not 4 as I have heard some people have to go through. Have you tried doing it with lactaid? you may be lactose intolerant?

I am having my surgery on 10-18 and the stress is starting. am I making the right decision? will I be able to do this? I know it's not going to be easy but I am thinking of me. your friend is right, one day at a time. Would also love to become friends with both to follow and support as well.

I am getting nervous too, starting the pre op this Friday. How is that working for you? This is the step that is getting me extremely nervous. would be great to keep in touch and see how we are doing in the journey. I am so glad I found this site.

I'm getting the Realize band, only one my doc uses. What about you?

Mine is Oct 18th. Can't wait but getting a little nervous!

I am a newbie as well. I am getting my band on Oct 18th, starting my pre-op diet on the 4th. Scaring me a bit. I am so happy to have found this wonderful site. I feel it will be very useful for me.

How is it working for you so far? Thanks for your words of encouragement, I know it's temporary and for better things in the long run, just starting to stress out about the whole thing now. Guess it's normal. right?!

I have to mix them with milk, so hopefully it will make me full. I think the full caloric intake is about 900 calories. I am scared out of my mind and am starting to worry about the whole process. I know I am ready for a new beginning and working at it, just need the tools to do it and support of course. thanks for the wishes.

Hello all, Brand new to this forum and site. I just found out that I am having my surgery on Oct 18th. I think the thing that scares me the most is the pre-op diet. My diet will consist of 4 shakes a day and one cup of veggies. Yikes! I am sooooo ready for this new beginning of my life. My weight has been a big hurdle in my life. (as most if not all of us have had) I have enjoyed what I read so far. I think this will be a good site for me and hopefully be able to give advice to people going through it later on or getting advice from people who have already. Looking forward to getting to get info from all of you!
