That's awesome Maggie...I am awful with pain getting anxiety about the procedure. The prep diet is tough especially on Fourth of July. Yesterday I had a protein shake, some carrot sticks raw, a small salad with some zucchini, onion, tomato, and fat free italian dressing and a little bit of chicken. Then for dinner I had salad with a little bit of chicken and fat free vinegrette. I can't imagine doing this in the winter with the holidays! I am 25 is anyone else on here young? My BMi is 36 and I would love to lose 60 lbs total if not more...having a hard time finding support. I'm close with my family but I have been uncomfortable with my weight since I got heavy about four years ago. I have major Horomone issues and I never spoke to my family about my weight and feelings due to embarrassment. Anyone have that in common?

They cut u in 5 places? I was told I'd have one incision on my outer abdomen

Downy soft how do you feel? It's amazing how you were under today, got banded, and ready updating us! Good for you! Any advice?

Glad to hear Vickie....I go next week..stay strong and keep us informed about how u r! So excited for you!

I was told a week before surgery to start diet. They said bmi under 40 it was a week any bmi over 40 is two weeks. I'm 36 bmi so I start mine 4th and banded on 11

I have bad gas to begin with in my chest and get shoulder pain. Anyone have advice for the best gas medicine? I'm afraid my gas pain will be horrific!

Is there a gas med that works the best? I have gas to begin with and get arm pain from it so I'm worried my gas will be horrific!

Ohh okay so you did two weeks of liquid pre diet....I start on the 4th. I have to do it for a week and was told two protein shakes a day one for breakfast and one for lunch an for dinner light salads with a little but of grilled chicken

I am nervous about pre op diet because of the limitedness but I have to do it! Worth it i. The end Fourth of July will be hard!

I'm getting banded July 11th! I am excited but super scared. First surgery ever I cry just getting blood taken!

I'm getting banded July 11 so scared!

I haven't started my ore op diet yet....what are you all mostly having and what is satisfying you?

I was told nothing but clear liquids for at least a week....then 2 and 3 weeks after surgery puréed food like baby food and protein shakes
