Thank you Nicnaknut for your reply. I would love to have you be my "buddy" through this. It is a scary process, but will be made easier having someone to talk to. I am also self-pay. My husband is wonderful and willing to pay for this. I am so thankful for that since we have BCBS they won't pay a penny! I am having my banding at Topeka, Ks. by Dr. Jim Hamilton who happens to be an old friend of ours. The thing I am most "worried" about is missing the foods that I love. Do you have those feelings too? Thanks again and hope to hear from you again. ----Fluffyinks

Hi Carrot, I start my pre-op diet on the 5th. Yes, yes, yes, I too am nervous about the whole thing like you. I am so afraid that I am going to miss food. Isn't that crazy? I guess it shows how important a part food plays in my life. Let me know how it goes. Good luck. --Fluffyinks.

Thank you Striver and Dave for your great help. I am really nervous about the pre-op diet. What did you do when you got really hungry?? Also, how did you add the Ticker Factory to your information?

Thanks for taking the time to answer me. I will look on the site for the recipes and I will also try the broth and jello.

I am starting my 10 day pre-surgery liquid diet on Oct. 5th. I will be banded on Oct. 15th. I am really nervous about the pre-op diet. It is nice to see that you are struggling but still able to stick to it. That gives me hope that I can do it too.

Hi Carrot, Good luck with your surgery.

Hi all, Thanks for starting this thread. I will be banded on Oct 15, 2007. Anyone else to be banded on that date? It would be nice to have a buddy to help me through this process. I am married and a mother of 3 grown children. I am 49 years old and need to lose 100 lbs. I would love to hear from you.

I just told my sister and father this week. My sister was not too supportive (she is also heavy) but my dad was very supportive. I was very surprised by his reaction and very pleased. So, go ahead and tell your family. Some will be supportive and other may not. But remember, it is your life and your weight and your decision. Be proud of what you are going to do!!

I will be banded on Oct. 15th and my doctor is having me start a liquid diet on Oct. 5th. Does anyone have any good ideas about things I will be able to eat/drink?? I am really nervous about this part and don't want to blow it. Thanks for the help.:help:

Hi everyone, I am new to this site and I think this will be good for me to talk to other lap band people. I will be banded on Oct. 15th and I am very excited about the procedure. My main concern now is that I have to be on a liquid diet 10 days before my surgery. I need help on what I will be able to eat. I do not like yogurt or cottage cheese. Any help would be appreciated.
