I'm getting banded this Friday, Dec 11... I had my pre-op visit with my surgeon today and that went well but I'm still nervous / excited... had a bad weekend this past weekend... I wanted to go and get a Ribeye steak and mashed potatoes at Saltgrass restaurant soooo bad ! But i resisted the temptation because in the 10 days so far on pre-op diet.. I have lost 12 lbs and my knees are less sore ! I can't wait to see how much I'll lose once I get banded !

Well, first off, congrats on your success thus far. I'm having the surgery next Friday 12/11. It sounds like to me that your sister is jealous and is dealing with a lot of issues of her own. I would attempt to approach her in a kind way and have a heart to heart talk about it and tell her that you love her and support her and hope for her support as well. If she does not feel like being on your side in this, then move on, love her but agree to disagree. Bottom line is, you are not doing this for HER.. you are doing it for yourself.. and you can't be worrying about what other people think anymore.. :sad: You go girl !

I agree with you 65DueceCoupe
This college has a bad thing going here and I hope the students and city rise up against them. It seems that picking on fat people is socially acceptable in the media,etc but of course you can't say anything about someone's religion, race or sex... that would be not acceptable at all.... There is a double standard here that needs to be addressed.. just my two pennies..

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'm getting banded on Dec 11. I just started my Pre-Op diet yesterday. This will take some getting used to. Hardest part was yesterday going through my cupboards and throwing away any tempting junk. I thought it was going to be a total liquid diet for the pre-op but it's not for me. They say to have 3 protien shakes and 2 small meals lean chicken or fish and no carbs, sugars or fats. Did anyone else do this as well ? My friend at work said he was on total liquids so I'm surprised.

Congrats coupe ! I am also getting the band soon - on Dec 11 ! It should be an interesting journey.

It is scheduled for Dec 11... great.. just before all the Christmas goodies ... :thumbup: I guess it will all be for the best.. but now it's scheduled.. it's a lot more REAL ! it is gonna happen.. before it was just all the doc appointments. monthly weigh-ins...etc... oh well.. please wish me luck everyone !

A friend of mine at work had Dr Hamm as his surgeon and had good things to say about him and his staff and the followup support.

I met with a surgeon today who was recommened by a friend of a friend ... they told me my insurance requires me to wait 6 months before they allow the surgery .. so I guess that gives me more time to TRY another diet in the meantime ... I'm a little nervous about the whole thing.. afraid of what I've been reading about people saying food getting stuck and coming back up and all.. but in the long run its worth it .. not to have health issues .. or worse.. be dead ...
