Good luck!

Thank goodness someone else has him. He seems awesome. Very informative. I like him.

I'm being banded April 5 in Tampa by dr p. krishnaraj

This gives me encouragement!!!!! Thank you.

I live in Florida and I'm having my surgery done in Tampa. Mine is only 10,900. I am going thru care credit. My insurance had an exclusion so it didn't pay.

I am day 5 pre op and I am craving sweet peas and butter. Odd to me that wasn't even a fav when I could have them hummmmm

I am on day 4 of my preop diet. Which means I have 11 more days until I am banded. My pre op diet consists of only protein shakes 3-4 a day. I am so down in the dumps and feel like 11 days is going to be the worse days of my life. I ask myself can I do this maybe I'm not ready. Can I do this? Wow this is hard.

What an awesome piece of advise to spread a shake out a little instead of drinking the whole thing at a time. It works so much better! Thank you all for all the words of encouragement I do greatly appreciate it!

I can not believe I was just strong enough to cook my husband and children one of my fav dinners. I didn't even try any of it. Yesterday I went to a wedding and didn't eat anything. I am so proud of myself.

Why is my pre op diet so strict? Ugh only 3 to 4 protein shakes and water (I drink it with mio) holy hell!!! I'm finishing up day three. I went to a wedding today and reception with loads of yummy smelling food and plenty to drink. I wasn't at hungry just awkward that everyone else was eating and I was just sitting there drinking water. But I can at least say I didn't cheat and that was a test and I passed with flying colors:)

Today is day 2 of my liquid diet. I feel so emotional. Thank goodness no one tells me I can't do it. As a matter of fact my sister is so supportive she is doing the liquid diet with me. I keep thinking 12 more days till I'm banded. I can say I'm not really starving I just feel so drained. I know if I can't do it for two weeks how can I change my life and eat right. Tomorrow I have a wedding to go to this should be interesting. I'm not sure if I can tackle staying away from food around others. I will also start to cook tomorrow TESTS lol

My preop started today ugh.. My dr only has me on 3 to 4 shakes a day. Wow I'm hungry but I know I can do it. If i can follow the strict rules now then later I can too:)

Yay we could be band twins mine will be on the 5th also. I start my diet tomorrow. I am so scared. And I am not sure why I am scared maybe scared is not the right word. I can't believe I'm finally going to have the lapband surgery wow. I know I can do it. I just know for the last couple months I've been "yeah I have surgery April 5" now it's almost April 5th. It seems to be coming so fast. I am so happy to have this opportunity I am ready to start my journey. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life:)

I start my preop diet Thursday, so tomorrow I am going out to eat with a friend

April 5th here wow I can't believe it's so close!!!!
