Surgery tomorrow!! I am sooo nervous but really excited as well! Down 17 pounds from Pre-Op diet, so that feels like a pretty good start!! Good luck to everyone else getting banded tomorrow and the coming days!! Also, thanks to everyone that has posted after their surgery...it is great to read about everyone's experiences!!

Are you scheduled for March 14th too?

So I haven't posted again since I started my Pre-Op Diet...I am on Day 6 and I only have 8 DAYS before my surgery! Seems like I have waited on this forever but now it seems to be coming so fast!! At least I am losing weight already (11 pounds down since Friday!!!) ...my doctor requires ONLY liquids for 2 weeks before...so fat free chicken broth for me at lunch again today..The first couple of days were rough but now I'm doing really good with it...starving of course, but handling it much better than I thought I would! Good luck to everyone getting banded this month and I look forward to hearing how everyone is doing!!

This is my first post on a message board EVER...but I figured the best way to get started is just to jump in! I am scheduled for surgery on March 14th. I start my two week liquid diet on Friday...only 1 1/2 days left to eat food...lol...I am counting them down like it's my "Last Supper"...it's crazy how food rules a person's life!! I am definitely more nervous about the pre-op diet than I am about the post-op diet...
