Hi all - Well, let's start at the beginning. I'm 31 years old and I've been overweight my whole life. Seriously! I remember being on a diet in Kindergarten. What that does to my views on food and dieting, we'll leave to another discussion. Anyway, I've lost and gained over the years. Sometimes I've done really well on my own (40 lbs. once). Then I gain it all back, plus++++!!! So, now, here I am. Ready and Waiting to get Banded. First Appt with Dr: Sept 14, 2009 Went well, I seem to be a good candidate. sleep Study: Sept 30, 2009 :frown:Found out I have Sleep Apnea, now I need a return visit and maybe wear a mask! YIKES.:thumbup: Nutrition Consult: Oct 13, 2009 Went well. Have my guidelines for pre, post, and continuing nutrition. Second Sleep Study Scheduled: Oct 26, 2009 :sneaky: Psych Eval: Nov 9, 2009 Provided those are all good: Evaluation and Pre-op: Nov 23, 2009 Surgery Date: Dec 3, 2009 This all means I will be on pre-op diet for Thanksgiving and post-op for my Birthday and Christmas in December. I'm a bit worried about that, but I won't let it stop me from getting my band. I'll post updates as I go along and troll this board for advice and inspiration.
