Wow I never thought of that before, what I would look like at a healthy weight but now that I think about it, it is kinda scary but exciting

Your not alone. My surgery date is the 16th. I'm so nervous it hurts but excited too! I find that reading these boards have been helpful. Just remember the end results will be wonderful

I started yesterday and so far haven't cheated. There are times I want to but I'm to nervous to cheat ...lol

@pennreporter - Thanks for the info! It's always nice to hear from someone whos gone through this already. Oh wow your band slipped. Hope everything is ok. One of the many things I'm nervous about.

It really depends on your Dr I guess. I know some people that didn't even have to do a pre-op diet and others are 3 weeks or more. Mine is only 2 weeks before surgery.

Yay for you!! Good Luck!!

I could tell you the pre-op diet will get better as you go but it's only my first day and my thoughts so far are negative about it but the end results will be wonderful :thumbup: Good luck with your diet I work for a family owned business and do all my work at home so I can just relax and work the same time.

Yeah doing my best to hang in there, first day so far has been crappy but like you I'm going to remind myself that it could have been all liquids hopefully it'll get me motivated for 2 weeks. Yay!! For you, your surgery date will be here right before you know it! :thumbup:

I started my pre-op diet today. I take it doesn't get any better after day 2 or 3.

I started my pre-op diet today. I'm excited but very nervous. Nervous because it means I'm that much closer to my surgery date. I've never had any kind of surgery before so this will be the first one. My pre-op diet isn't so bad. I can have chicken, salad, veggies, broth for dinner and a protien shake for Breakfast and lunch and drink Water all through out the day. So I'm one of the lucky ones now all I have to do is be strong and get through my day without food.

@Espresso88 - Congratulations!! Tomorrow is your big day, how excited you must be :tt1: My date is set up for July 16th. Saturday I start my pre-op diet. I'm nervous but ready to start my journey :frown:

:thumbup:Congratulations!!!!

If so what kind of pre-op diet is he having you do?

Thank you! It's nice to know I have somewhere to go to when I need help or questions answered.

July 16th here! Nervous but excited.

I deffinitly like that one!

I haven't started my 2 week diet yet but will the first week of July. We are able to eat food for dinner and have protien shake for breakfast and lunch. After reading everyones post I think I might need to check with my Dr to make sure. Hang in there everyone!

I'm July 16th!! Jazzy July sounds fun but any name will do

@Dikotomy - How funny I'm a day after you. July 16th I'm nervous but excited. I'll soon have to start a 2 week pre-op diet.

Hello everyone! My name is Michelle, I'm 32. I'm new to the message board so bear with me as I figure out how this all works. I'm so excited I finally have my surgery date. I will get my band on the 16th of July. I'm nervous but ready to start my journey.
