The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind and motivation you have to convince. You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Let that person who is inside come out and see the world. Take it one day at a time. Happy Holidays. PS: Update me on your progress and visit my web page As My World Turns

CONGRATULATIONS on your banding! Hope this note finds you feeling better each day. Remember the post-op mantra...walk, walk, walk, and sip, sip, sip! Best Wishes! -BG

Getting Banded Tomorrow!
Jendela replied to Jendela's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi All, I got home from the hospital a little while ago. I actually feel great! My throat hurts more than my stomach : ) It was a really good experience. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!! -
I'm getting banded tomorrow morning. I'm so excited. I'm not one bit nervous. I want this very badly and I don't have any reservations. The 14 day pre-op liquid diet really wasn't bad. The Opti-Fast was amazing. It took care of any hunger. I'm glad I chose that option. I'm actually surprised how quickly the two weeks went by. I've only told one of my friends about getting banded. My immediate family knows, but I just didn't want to tell anyone else. I have quite a few very close friends but I wanted to keep this to myself. The past few weeks have been interesting while trying to keep this to myself. I've had to do some minor fibbing during social events. That was probably the only hard part. At parties and get togethers I had to do some quick thinking to get out of weird eating situations so know one would pick up on the fact that I wasn't eating. Luckily my friend that knows about the band helped me out. During the last two weeks I've also had to miss social gatherings due to last minute pre-op appointments. I think missing out on these events slightly raised their curiousity, but my I think my friend and I smoothed it out. I'll be sure to post about my experience as soon as possible!!!!

Hi! I'm also having it done @ New Britain. Who was your surgeon? Dr. Barba? I'm happy to hear your surgery went well. My surgery is tomorrow morning and I can't wait!

This is my first blog entry. We'll see how I do from now on. I'm on day four of my liquid diet. It's not that bad. I mentally prepared myself for this. I figure that I've eat so much junk over the years, that two weeks prior to surgery is the least I can do. I've eaten more than my fair share over the years. I feel great actually. My dr. doesn't allow any food other than sugar free jello. I'm doing Optifast. I love the convenience of it. I have 6 of them a day. I space them out about every two hours. It works really well. When I start to feel hungry, I have an Optifast and then I'm satisfied. I am SO excited about my surgery. Ten more days!!!!! I have NO reservations or concerns. I don't think that I've wanted something more. I feel that I'm mentally in a really great place. It's only been four days of liquid but I definitely think I've lost weight. My clothes are feeling bigger. I've been going to the gym and I feel great. Hopefully I'll write more tomorrow!!!
