Hello I know you all going to getting tired of me and my diet complaints BUT im doing pretty good!:sad:! Im so glad I started 3 days earlier because I would be going crazy right now:ohmy: if I would have started yesterday like my dr. suggested. Since I started my diet on monday I have lost a total of.....drum roll please...... 9lbs!!!! yay me!! How's yall's diet going? <--- that sounded EXTREMELY COUNTRY! But hey ima Texan! :w00t:

Yeah! You have to let us know how everything goes... leave no detail out!!! :confused:

Lost 2 .4 pounds in 2 days!!!

Well my doctor suggested I buy their Opti-fast for 5 days before and I did but I wanted to start a little earlier so I wouldn't cheat so I grabbed a box and went to Walmart! I picked the Special K Protein shake because everything was pretty much the same. My doctor told me not to get the mixes because the powders and get stuck in your throat and I don't want to give them ANY reason to postpone my surgery!

Hey Cynthia! Are you on a liquid diet? I have to say mine is SUCKING right about now! BUT I'm trying to stay positive :biggrin:

Im one week away! YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!! :biggrin:

IM SO HUNGRY! I went and bought the Special K Protein shakes because I was so hungry in between (meals)shakes. Any suggestions?!? I'm on my 3rd one today and its only 2:30!

That's so true!

I started my diet today. ugh!! Is all I can say. I'm supposed to going on a date tonight and he wants to go out to eat!! THE NERVE!! :biggrin: WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?

hmmm.. I think you put the code in the wrong box. I did that at first and redid it.. just preview and try again before you post it! Not much help I KNOW.. but hopefully it helps.

Lol. well hopefully it's not on during surgery! That would suck because I'm heavy most of the time.

Was anybody on their cycle when they went into the hospital to get the actual surgery.. My period is regular and my surgery date is around the same time. I want to know how that went!

Ladies. We are getting down to the wire.. Surgery is very soon.. what's going through your minds right now? As for me Im trying not to think about it, I don't want to be scared or nervous. I think the excitement factor is high BUT I don't want to get too excited. I just want to get it done and start my new life!

Well Janell you should def. update us asap!! :thumbup:

Hello again Carmen.. My doctor wants me to start my pre-op 5 days before my surgery, but im thinking about starting Thursday so I can start getting used to the liquids so when I have to it wont be as bad!

Anyone else getting banded on the 23rd of this month..... LET'S GET THROUGH IT TOGETHER!!!

I have heard of Atascocita but I have NO idea where it is.. lol. Im in Downtown Houston..

Anyone in Houston getting banded or has been banded? I really do enjoy the msg. boards BUT sometimes I don't have time to read and reply everyday. I was trying to start a group of people getting banded or banded in the Houston area. Where we could all meet up and have each other as support through our process. Some people have tons of support and friends to help along the way, where I personally don't! So if anyone in intrested reply and if not just tell somebody.. ANYBODY IN HOUSTON! Thanks!

OKAY! I have Aetna the Bariatric max is $10,000 for my policy. I ended up paying my doctor's office $1,300. Then I went to the hospital for my pre-op and I was hit with a bill for $11,650.. Yeah I know! That's the cost of a whole new band. BUT apparently thats the hospital fee's..

Hello btrieger... How is the world did you lose 74lbs. before surgery?!? I had the hardest losing my 20 in 3 months.. lol I need to know your secret!

Carmen... Its crazy because I'm doing my pre-op tomorrow and my surgery is on the 23rd also... My Dr. wants me to start the Optifast on the 16th but I think Im going to start soon I want to start losing NOW!
