Hi November future thinnies!! Had my surgery 11/14/08. No complications, easy surgery, happy girl !! Down 20 lbs. from highest pre-surgical weight and losing about a pound a day...........and LOVIN" IT!! At a small T.G. dinner, smaller leftovers and gained 1 lb. back........You can't cheat!! At least not that much and hope to get away with it. Back to the program. Kudos to all you banders and luck to all you pre-surgicals!!

Geez, you have been on a liquid diet for a long time. I am having surgery tomorrow a.m. and was instructed to go to liquids starting this morning!! I am going to try and go to bed early so I don't hear my tummy grumbling much longer. Good for you that you have been such a good patient and I think you've been through the tough part already.......Getting used to a liquid diet!! Good luck on the 24th!!:thumbdown:

Hello to all you lapbanders!! I will join your ranks tomorrow and I must say I don't know whether I'm more excited or nervous. I will let you know my thoughts/feelings and maybe even can post a few tips relating to my experience next week. It's so nice to have a place to chat about my own experience and it's been very helpful to just "lurk" and learn from many of your posts. Onward and upward!!!!:thumbdown:
