I got my approval and surgery date - May 6th. I start my liquid only diet on the 22nd of this month. I'm worried about that some. Right now though I'm eating every meal like it was my last!:bored:

My surgery is scheduled for May 11... I'm gettin' nervous, but at the same time am SUPER excited to be moving into this new phase of my life!

Melissa, I am May 10th. When are you starting your pre-op diet and what are you doing for it? Looking for a buddy? I could use a weight loss buddy!

May 6th for me. Nervous as well, starting the pre-op diet on Thursday.

Where In IL are you from?

I'm looking for a band buddy too. I have all the same pre-op diet questions. My surgery is scheduled for the 13th and had the opportunity to change to the 7th but my daughter's dance recital is that Sat and I dont wanna be sick. I have to start my diet on the 29th so this weekend I will enjoy a steak.

Ya I live in a suburb of Chicago. My surgeon is in Oak Brook. I get banded 5-17... im so nervous and excited!

My surgery date is May 5th .. three days after my birthday so this is my gift to ME!! Yaaaaay ME! LOL.

I have finished all my pre-op tests. On 4/26 I will meet with my nurse caseworker, dietician, and will also talk with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. HOWEVER, after reading all the other post on here.. I'm wondering why i don't have a date to start my pre-op diet? My original date for the meetings with the surgeon and dietician were on April 12th but they called and changed it to the 26th. Did they forget to tell me when to start my pre-op diet? I have no idea what to eat or not to eat prior to surgery?? Super Excited.. getting nervous

My surgeon hasn't mentioned anything about a pre-op diet to me but I have a pre-op appt a little before two weeks of surgery..so I might find out then..

Maybe you want to call them and just double check?

Good Luck!

Had my pre-op appt yesterday! Surgery is scheduled for May 3rd at 7:30 am!!!

Now I am just scared about the whole having surgery thing. I have never had surgery before.

Pre-op diet is going ok...still hungry, Isopure is the only one I can stomach, but I still suck it down. And I know after surgery I have to sip slowly. But if I can do this I can do anything. Oh and I lost 14 pounds in 5 days!!! Although I am sure some of this was Water weight as I also started my cycle. But was super excited to see that!

I just got my surgery date today which is May 3rd. I was excited and nervous prior to getting a date, now it all seems surreal to me. I am in total shock that this is finally going to happen. Good luck to all the May bandsters! :smile:

MAY 14th is my D-DAY!!!!! EEEEK!!!!

Excited, nervous optimistic....you name it I'm probably feeling it!!1

GOOD LUCK...and send some my way :smile:

Good Luck! I am scheduled 4 days before you. I am going through the same emotions! When do you start your pre-op diet?

I start on the 30th. Not sure what it consists of yet, but I have an appointment with the clinic next week, so I'm sure they'll cover it all then.

I am scheduled for surgery May 3 & am currently doing my 2 week pre-op liquid diet. It is extremely hard to stick to but I know I have to. I am starving. I couldn't wait for surgery to come, but now that it's finally here, I am feeling quite nervous over the whole thing. Does everyone go thru this? Good luck to everyone, I wish you all huge success!!!!
