Thank you so much! I am so glad you all are here! Take care, Kristin

Hi, I found out at my appointment yesterday that I have gained 20 pounds since last May when I did all my pre op stuff. I finally have a surgery date for March 25, 2008 and my doctor told me to drink Liquid Protein until surgery to help. I freaked. I have intended to do all the "last tacos, last pizza" etc and now I am so depressed! I am really trying to switch mental gears, but I am not doing well. Trying Slim Fast until my Bariatric Meal arrives, but I gag and really am almost grieving! Pathetic, right? I do OK in Am, then by evening I am eating dinner and hating myself. So, my question is, how much damage am I doing? Am I going to be unable to be banded if I don't lose the weight? Also, anyone out there with a hernia? Thanks so much for helping, any advice, etc., appreciated! Kristin:eek:

Hi, I am being banded on March 25 as well. I am nervous as my doctor just suggested (STRONGLY) I do Liquid Protein until then. I was pretty excited before that! Good luck to you--let's stay in touch! Kristin

:ohmy:Hello Everyone! I have never posted on any board before, but I am pretty uneducated about this whole thing. I did all my pre-op testing last May and I am finally scheduled for March 25, 2008. I am a bit nervous as I had a very bad last surgical experience delivering my twins in July 2005. I don't know why I did not anticipate doing liquid before the surgery and I have to. I am not doing too well as I guess I am not having the right attitude. I understand about the liver needing to shrink. I think I had some stupid idea that I had 2 weeks left to eat. Again, I know it is not the right thinking... So, any advice, suggestions, are welcome. I am 41 and have a 4 1/2 year old daughter and twin boys who are 2 1/2. Thanks to all and good luck to all of you as well! Sincerely, Kristin :smile2:

Hi, I am new. I am having a terrible time with the preop as well. I have no idea why I did not anticipate this. I gag on the liquid Protein and I am so worried I will mess things up as well. Good luck to you. I am being banded on March 25. Kristin

Hi, I am done with all my pre op and waiting for a surgery date. I am very worried about caring for my kids. I have 2 year old ACTIVE twin boys and a 4 year old daughter. I may also have a hernia repaired while being banded. I am really nervous.... Thanks, Kris:o
