Mine is the 19th at 7:30 am. I started the liquid diet Tuesday. It's getting easier. My husband and I attended a pre-op Lifestyle Management class on Wednesday and yesterday was my pre-op with the surgeon. Now I am just waiting for a call from the anesthesiologist. 11 days to go!:tt1:

Nice! My Doctor didnt put me on a liquid diet. Ive been reading alot about it and some people do and some dont. I guess ill just trust my doctor but load up on the proteins prior. I meet with the "put me to sleep" doctors on the 13th. Its all happening really fast and im excited. Ready to get it done and move forward......:tt1:

My date is the 20th also.. I am 3 yrs older than you. I am scared out of my mind... I keep having nightmares. Crazy I know. I am not on a pre op liquid diet what about you.

My surgery is scheduled for Jan 25th. Pre-op visit in on the 15th. I am also nervous and excited!

My surgery date is January 19th, coming so fast.... My second day on my liquid diet.... Today is much better than yesterday. Praying that everyone going into surgery has a safe journey and quick recovery.

My surgery date is January 29, 2010. I am excited but very nervous. I am more worried about the post-op recovery and pain involved, but I know I need to keep my eye on the prize. The short term discomfort can't be my focus. The happiness of finally being under 200 pounds after 12 years will be well worth it. Please keep us updated on your surgery so we can get a taste of what is to come.

Hi Ang,

Mine is on the 20th. Did you have to do the 2 week pre-op Optifast? I have been doing it, but it's really taken it's toll on my tummy. And, to beat, I have only dropped about 5 lbs. A little frustrating. I am afraid this is an indicator that I won't lose weight even after the band. Most ppl are supposed to lose 15-20lbs (avg) on the liquid pre-op diet. Uggh. Also scared they will say I haven't lost enough and my surgery will be postponed. Any thoughts???

Thanks, Jossie1:blushing:
