From what I have read here over the last few weeks every doc is different. Some want you to "cut back" some wanted others to do south beach or atkins. Others, like yours have no pre op diet at all. Like i said before, count your lucky stars! hee hee

Hi Krista I'm going on Aug 31st. I just started a three week liquid fast (optifast) today. I'm being banded in Canada. The doc says the fast is to shrink my liver, so that it is easier to move during the surgery. All I can say is, thank your lucky stars that your doc isn't forcing you to drink this awful stuff!

Happy to help!

Hi Patticakes Do you mean Cushing's Disease? If you do, it's a thryroid problem. hope this helps

Omg Greg what a beautiful baby! You must be so proud!

Hi SeamsSew, Welcome! I think that pple tend to post when they are having problems. Those who don't have problems really don't need to post as much, i think:) Take a look at some of the threads where newbies ask if members would do it over again, I think you will see that the pros outweigh the cons for most members here.

Hi Pjk Welcome to lapbandtalk, this place is the greatest!

Hi Leva, Welcome, you'll love it here!

Hi Momotrips, Wow it's amazing the similarities in almost everyones behaviour before banding eh? I just wish it were August 31th and I was in the land of band finally.

Hi Buffie Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. I am EXACTLY the same. It's a horrible cross to bear. And nobody understands unless they are in the same boat. When you find out about that brain operation let me know, I'll go with you!

Wow Angel Archer! Great news!

Hi paula, I just wanted to say that sometimes our general practitioners aren't enough. Perhaps you should ask for a referral to a psychiatrist. Hope my advice helps, not hurts.

Have a blast in Vegas Gotglock21! win big!

Boy, Jack I know that I will only believe it when I feel that feeling for myself, cuz I'm definately not a "normo" . I Can't wait to get that band in "ma belly" as fat bastard would say

I read on here somewhere that peanut butter works really well.

Gotglock21, your pig outs sound just like mine! and your right, I'm eating like i'm gonna die, how stupid is that? I have to get a grip. I think i can, i know i can, I CAN!

Wow Road queen, I would be sooooo happy if 2 chips and mini choc bar were a pig out for me!!! I hope the band works that well for me. *Fingers crossed*

Hi leenerbups, rdunn, joycega, pattieU, and dody. Wow, I thought I was the only one! Thanks so much everyone for sharing your "last meal syndrome" stories with me. I was so worried i was the only one who totally lost it before surg. thanks again!

Hey Diva Girl! You're not alone, we are in the same boat! Don't give up, every morning I am going to try again! Of course, I won't have a choice when I have to do the two weeks of Optifast!!:rofl: Soon we will be banded and happy!

Way to Go Cloe! WOOT!WOOT!

Don't be a tease! WHATDID HE DO?!?!

opti hell opti crap...i'll try to think up a special name for it too, after i've ingested two weeks worth! heehee

Hi Rdunn, so you're pigging out too?:hungry: if you figure it out, drop me a line!!!
