I am having surgery on Valentine's Day. I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck this month. If you are anything like me, you are in final count-down mode. I dont have to start pre-op diet until the 9th, but I was thinking of trying the 2 shakes and 1 meal just to wean down. Have to start somewhere...
12 more days:)

Thanks for all the support and good luck to all of you too:)

He approved it!

p.s.s.
I worked at Jenny Craig for 2 years and only went from 233 to 216.

I'll be brutely honest, If you can't lost 11 lbs in one year, I wonder if the band is going to do you any good.
There is a lot of sacrifice and deprivation involved. Will power is probably the most valuable asset in a
successful bander. The band, by itself, won't cause you to lose one pound. This is like a diet with a little
help. I'm not trying to be cruel, just honest. Talk to a respectable weight loss doctor and get some
guidelines to see if there isn't something you can do. At this time the band probably isn't it.
Finally, someone with an opinion! thanks. I started this with a friend and she got her band back in august. she has since lost 40lbs and asks me every week how its coming for me. i dont know. if tomorrow goes well, i will be banded. if not, not sure

I have been pre-op for 1 whole year, trying to lose 5% before they even let me meet with the surgeon.
So Tomorrow is the appointment, and I did not get there. What do you think will happen? I am so nervous. There is not much I can do about it now, is there?
p.s. I am reposting this in post op--hoping for a response, any response;)

I am so sad that I got 49 views and not one response:(

Hi Mousie-
I started OA too.
I even attend online meetings through
therecoverygroup.org
LOVE OA for helping sort out the destructive behaviors prior to surgery:)
Best of luck on your journey

[How is the pre-op diet going so far?
-
if you are not ready, don't do it. If you think you will like being restricted in your eating, go for it. If you are only afraid of post op pain, they have meds for that. it is really your decision, no one can make it for you, but i wish you the best of luck no matter what you choose.

thanks, I need it. My friend and I started the process together... she is on her way and I am stuck! I thought I could do it the healthy way, blah blah blah.
I am gonna start full liquid tomorrow!
I will let you know how it goes:)

I have to lose about 10 pounds b4 I can meet with the surgeon. I can not seem to lose it.
What do you think is the best and fastest way to lose this 10lbs?
Thanks

I am still in the works with nutrition. I have to lose 11 lbs before I can get to the next step. this has been very hard for me, in fact, so hard that I have actually gained 8 lbs since starting with the nutritionist.
So, in an attempt to get this thing going, yesterday I started with 2 Atkins shakes and a lean/green dinner.< /p>
Today I am having stomach cramping and rushing to the lue. Is this to be expected on a shake diet? Should I go about this thing from another angle?

Hi Kathy,
I head back to work tomorrow too! Even as I write this, my belly is making some angry noises. I just had an ounce of tea. I just try to ignore it now. I did have to return to the docs office on day 6 because I could not stop burping and belching, but after an un-fill, I was much better.
Good luck tomorrow.
Take care:)
