  2. And I get sick with an upper respiratory infection and a stomach bug. On antibiotics and a rocephin shot and I don't feel better. May have been 2 cancel my sx on Thursday. Disappointed!
  3. @wendydarling I envy you. Lol jk I have read on this forum a lot of banders did not have to do the liquid diet. I thought why in the world do I have to??? Just depends on the doc. Good luck.
  4. Tomorrow I start on my 1 week liquid diet....whoop whoop.
  5. **update....I start my 1 week liquid diet next Wednesday, the 8th. I also had my blood work done, EKG and chest xray. Everything came back ok except my WBC. A little high @11.3. I hope it doesn't delay my surgery that is scheduled for the 16th.
  6. @ sergreen it is a liquid; ) hope we all have a successful surgery. Good luck 2 all. I would love to stay in contact. Do any of yall know if their is a friend circle of sum sort in this forum?
  7. I'm super nervous and doubting this surgery. The more I read about what can go wrong and some of the problems other people have had, I'm terrified!
  8. Wow! Are both of you doing the lap band?
  9. @slinkielovin when do you go for your pre~op visit? My sx is scheduled for Jan 16th the lap band coordinator advised me of my one week liquid diet b4 surgery. I have been doing good but jump off the bandwagon on the weekends. Best of luck to you!
  10. Hello...so how is ur band working for u? I'm so nervous!
  11. Anyone from Lubbock tx area that has already been banded? Would love to chat and know about your WLS journey that I am about to begin next month.
  12. Be proud super proud of your WLS. I am scheduled next month and can not wait! I'm ready to blast it regardless of what other ppl say! Ppl will talk no matter what you do. Good luck!
  13. Congrats! I'm excited and nervous for you as well as for myself. How many of you can tell me how long you were all out from work?
  14. Yes, its definitely going to be hard. I am already cutting back on my food intake and replacing one meal with a liquid protein shake. Not sure if my body is going through withdrawals or its just nerves. I start tomorrow with 2 replacement shakes. Breakfast and dinner. I'm glad I joined this forum; )
  15. Thank you all for the encouragement. I have read, researched and watched almost every youtube video out there. I am 100% sure I am ready for this lifetime journey.
  16. I'm a newbie and super nervous about my lap band scheduled on Jan 16! I have already started preparing myself mentally/ physically and my body is going through withdrawals! I'm super nervous!
