This story is for those who care to read this.When I wonder how in the world I am going to make it through my ywo weeks of liquids(started today, banding tomorrow) I just think of my brother whom I was extremly close to. I lost him last July to ALS. For about the last three months he could not eat nor swallow anthing but a sip of water and a couple of sips of ensure. The only things ALS does not touch is your feel sense and smell and hearing. He had the best attitude of anyone I have ever seen- from the time he was diagnosed until he left us. So if you are having a tough time- stop and think. At least we can have different liquids and as much as we want.The best to all. I look so forward to being a bandster. Sallyjo:clap2:

Hey Jenny, Welcome. I get banded tomorrow and can hardly wait. I also have UHC and it went very smoothly. Also it did not take very long. Good luck and this board is wonderful Sallyjo

I guess I'm lucky I love all types of fish, but when we put seasoning on them they make me very thirsty so what do you guys do about that. Heather don't forget I get banded the day before you. Good luck.

Hi Wanda, Welcome I love this site. I will be banded Tuesday and have found so much good info from this site and funny also. How are you doing on the band?

Have a break- have a Frances:faint:

I have UHC and they approved mine and refills also. Will be banded 4-25. Mine is also PPO. Make em diffy up and show you why not. Good luck.

Congrats:clap2: I am just one week away from being banded.Can't hardly wait.Thanks for the tips, I know I will need all I can get. Keep up the good work.

Hey Welcome:girl_hug: I live in Texas and will be banded on the 25th. I went to a seminar on the 1st of April and have my pre-op This Thursday. Don't know why some take so long. I researched for about three months and decided I was ready. I think I might be the oldest on this board. 62, Good luck and if I can be of farther help let me know.

Hello Everyone, Just got my call yesterday for my date, April 25th. I got a little nervous after the call ended, but I just logged on and after reading I felt a lot better. This is a great support site. Wish me luck and tell me I don't need to worry. Start weight 220 Goal 140:clap2:

No I claim the best husband ever -lol. Going on 26 years and getting better. This wonderful man has never said a word about my weight. Just loves me all the same I am doing this for myself first and then for him. He has never seen me small so look oot

Happy Easter Everyone.My band date is getting closer 4-25.The only reason I am nervous is how will I know what I can eat and not eat. Is it just trial and error? I can make it through the liquids and the mushies but what about when you can have solids. I love my fruit,chicken and fish.Could some of you please re-assure me and tell me some things you eat. This is the greatest site.

If banding is all your husband hears about for three months before being banded-you might become a bandster.4-25 is the big day

Okay Guys,I got my banding date today. April 25. I will be joining you on the weight loss list. Thanks for all the good tips.
