Thanks counselor-is-in. I haven't weighed in since the 21st of October. I probably won't weight in again until the 19th which is my two week visit. I'm trying not to concentrate on my weight (I can become OC). Hope that this is enough. If not, let me know and I can go weigh in and update.

Hello All,

Surgery went well. I arrived home last evening and slept most of the day. Thanks for all of your prayers!!!

I am going in tomorrow, I am just praying I lost the 10lb... I got my period this week and it is sure not helping... the demon scale I have (new) is not accurate I have discovered. If it follows it's normal habit of being 2 lb over the dr scale, I will just make it. If it has decided to be truthful I have failed... blame it on the period... I think that is honest. The week before the mandatory preop I lost 7 lb.

So here we go... time to install the "tummy cop" and KILL HUNGRY!!!!

Good Luck!!!! I'll be praying for you. I had surgery yesterday. Everything went great.

Hey there Lap Band Buddy! I have to be at the hospital at 5:45 a.m. which means getting up at 4 a.m. No sleep for me tonight. I'm too excited...particularly since I've managed to drop 14 pounds in the last 3 weeks.

I don't feel so hot right now since today was my all liquid day. No hunger, but I've been fighting a headache all day and have been forced into being fairly active since I'm trying to clear up a bunch of stuff so I can relax for a few days without stressing at all the stuff I need to be doing at work.

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

Hey Lapband Buddy!!! I feel ya on the not feeling so hot right now. I didn't get a headache until around 3pm. I've been doing the same; trying to tie up loose ends so that I can relax as well. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow as well!!!

Thanks everyone!!! I'll keep you posted!!

Tomorrow's the BIG day and I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure nerves will kick in later. My surgery is scheduled at 8:45am so I have to arrive at 6:45am. I probably won't rest much tonight with all the excitement. I'm about to start a new and healthier chapter in my life.........................

Good luck!!!!

Congrats!!! We have the same date.

Congrats!!! You'll be banded before you know it.

Congrats!!!!

As you know I am new here and just thought that I would share that I was approved for my surgery on Wed. and my surgery is set for Nov. 5th. I am so excited that I can hardly stand it. I am even excited about the pre-op diet that I will start on Thursday. I am on my way to a brand new me!!!! :confused:

Congrats!!!! I'm getting banded on the 3rd!! Good luck!!!

I just got my date and it is Nov 3 too! Yeah - I'm doin the happy dance!!

Congrats!!!:scared2:

LAP-BAND® Buddy!

Is your doc making you do a liquid diet or special diet pre-surgery?

Mine isn't, but I'm going to do a low carb, high Protein diet anyway. It can only help!

I went to GNC tonight to stock up on some Alpine Punch and Mango Peach Isopure. Tasty enough that I won't upchuck them, but not so tasty that I'll go, "Hey...think I'll have another." :scared2:

.

Yeah, I have to do low carb, high Protein diet for two weeks and then liquids the day before surgery (nothing to eat or drink after midnight since my surgery is scheduled for 8:45am). I have been sampling different things, but the Alpine Punch adn Mango Peach Isopure sounds good. I'll have to check it out. I've tried the unjury (I think that's it, will have to check when I get home) and it tasts good as well.

I finally got approved!! Finally I started this process in April and it seems like forever. I have my pre-op class on Oct 26 and they will give me my surgery date then. Thank God the waiting is over.:scared2::w00t::w00t:

Congrats!!!

Woohoo! My surgery is set for Nov. 3rd assuming all the bloodwork (which I don't do until Oct 21st) comes back as normal and I don't expect it won't.

I am so geeked! I've been 'attempting' to eat low carb this week, but now I'm really motivated to watch what I eat. Since my doc doesn't prescribe any pre-surgery diet, I think I'll do my Isopure Protein shake for Breakfast, salad with some low fat cheese in it for lunch and low carb green vegies and Protein for dinner. Three weeks of that should make it easier for them to grub around my liver and so I won't feel so bloated going into surgery.

Well, after tonight. I know...I shouldn't say 'after' but my son is going to school to be a chef and tonight is one of their quarterly international dinners. Since this one is French, it stands to reason that it will be high in fat with all the sauces that are typically French, but hopefully I can keep the carbs to a dull roar.

Perhaps it's time for a ticker...and yes I am going to put my highest weight because I am very proud off the fact that I took of 70 lbs and kept it off.

Congrats on your date and weight loss!!!! We are being banded on the same date. I also have my pre-admission testing (blood work) done on the 21st. I hope that everything goes great!!!:scared2:

Congrats on your date:thumbup:!! Mine is scheduled for November 3rd. My preop diet starts Monday; low carb basically and then liquid only the day before with nothing to eat or drink after midnight. Good luck!!!!

Thanks for sharing. November 23rd will be here before you know it.

November 3, 2009 for me. Good luck to everyone!!

Congradulations!! I'll keep you in my prayers.

looks like i might be joining you all in November. i scheduled all my required dr appts within a 2 week period. so by Oct 15th i will have all my appt's in. then i sit with the surgeon again to go over results and schedule appt. yey!! i am extremely excited. i was talking to my neighbor today and she already started joking about how i am going to be skinny.. that word skinny hit me so hard.. i have never in my life been called that!! ahahhaha. so how does everyone feel about being banded before the holidays? i am actually ok with it. i will liquify my mashed potatoe and sweet potatoe.. i don't care. as long as i lose this weight already!!!!

cheers!

Congrats!!! I don't mind being banded before the holidays; I just want to be banded. I think I've eaten enough over the years to last a lifetime:lol:.

:thumbup: I'm 29 and will be banded November 3rd!!!
