Well, I'm now banded as of 03-11-10. My doctor moved my surgery up a day. It's hard for me to believe there are folks who get banded on Friday & go back to work on Monday. There is no way I could do that. This is the first day I've been able to half way move around without feeling like I'm dying. Even though I'm in pain, it will be well worth it in the long run. :thumbup:

When is your surgery?

Well, congrats on not losing control and eating everything your family was eating. I'm finding that when I'm hungry for real food, I cook a lot!! My husband is loving it, but he's going to gain what I'm losing if I'm not careful. It helps me to at least see food. I've never heard of a milk diet. It's funny how each surgeon has a different diet for their patients. I'm aloud cream soups, pudding, applesauce, instant carnation breakfast, slim fast as long as I stay within 800-900 cal. range each day. So far, I've lost 6.5 lbs. in a week.

Good Job!!!!

Seven more days until surgery.:thumbdown: I'm getting more nervous and felt a little weak this morning when I got out of bed, until after having my protein shake. I've lost 6.5 lbs. this week.:closedeyes: The liquid diet can be a little hard some days, but others, I don't mind at all. I know that next week @ this time, the surgery will all be over with and I'll be on my way. :tt1:

There is only one God, which is made up of a Trinity: The Father God, Jesus & the Holy Ghost. The only way to Heaven is by the way of God's Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior. Jesus will cleanse your soul and forgive your sins, forever....There is no other way.....

Thanks for the encouragement. You have done so well, congrats!!! I've lost 3 lbs already in just 2 days. Yahoo!!!

Thanks, I figure If I'm going to do this, I'm going to be positive and make the best of it. So far, I've already lost 3 lbs and the diet has not been too bad. I have found that now that I'm not eating all the time, I'm getting soooo much done around my house. :biggrin:

Today I went to the hospital for my pre-op testing and paid for my surgery. I fasted until about 2:30 pm and then I finally got a slim fast & a parfait. Fourteen more days until surgery :crying::cursing:

Hello, I'm getting banded 03-12-10 @ 8:00 am. I will start my liquid diet 02-26-10. Yahoo, can't hardly wait...:frown: It's been really nice being able to read everyone else's experiences. I'm still very nervous about surgery.:eek: I've had surgeries before and I think that's what makes me nervous. :w00t: I'm so looking forward to losing the weight. It seems like every new year that goes by I have gained another 10-20 lbs. :redface: and after a while, well, you know.....it's hard to lose and when I do lose some, about three - four months later, I gain it back, plus some.:mad2: I must say, it's very encouraging seeing everyone's success stories. :thumbup: It's also very scary when I read horror stories that people have encountered. I go for testing this Friday. Wish me luck.:thumbup:
