  1. Hello Everyone,

     

    I am scheduled for surgery on 6/3. My Pre Op visit to the doctors was on the 21st of May. The dietician instructed me to begin liquids on 5/22. However, I have eaten a little on Memorial day (just a piece of steak and about 3 diced potatoes). I am starting straight liquids today 5/26 until the date of my surgery. Not eating anything on Memorial Day was a great challenge.

     

    Is a week prior to my scheduled surgery enough time to do straight liquids? Please advise me of whether this will pose an hinderance on my surgery.

     

    Getting cold feet, as I have read several posts about perhaps making a bad decision to have the surgery -- these thoughts occurred in these individuals after surgery, during Post Opt. Scares me as there is no turning back!!!

     

    Thoughts?

  2. BTW -- what did you guys do to get your pictures to show -- so that you know who you are talking to. I tried so much, but still can't get it to show. I want to get rid of that question mark.

     

    HELP -- I am very new at navigating this forum

  3. Thanks for sharing your pics. They served as a great inspiration for me. I am scheduled to be banded on 6/2 -- kind of nervous about the surgery part of the process, but extremely excited about approaching the new me. What did you do following your banding? Did you exercise a lot or simply was not hungry from the band? I am so very interested, as I am about the same size as you were prior to getting the band, and I so want to be as successful as you were in order to commence your journey to the new you!! This is so exciting!!! :-)

     

    Hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks!!

  4. Thanks for sharing your exciting story.

  5. Your story and experience and very inspirational to me. I am scheduled to be banded the end of May, 2009. I have mixed feelings as I am so very excited, but I am also very nervous about the surgery. However, I believe the excitement exceeds the nervousness, because I am so ready to lead a new, happy, healthy, and energetic life. Thanks so much for sharing your story -- you look absolutely gorgeous and happy!!! I can't wait to get there.
