:thumbup: After 2 years of waiting I'm finally have a date set for surgery... Oct. 4, 2010 I have started today my pre-opt diet. I am so excited and also nervious. But I know this is what I should be doing.

Congratulations!! I will be right behind you on 10/8! Can't wait, but nervous too!!! Hugs!

I sure am glad that I found someone to take this journey with. It will be nice to compare procedures and help each other out, even if we have to be cheerleaders. lol I have done every diet also. and the same thing up and down like a yo-yo. :thumbup:

I will be just in front of the both of you 9/30/10. I too am excited and nervous at the same time.

Being that you are getting banded on the 30th, you are on the pre-opt diet? How are you getting along with it, I have been fine with mine but my sugar kept dropping to low. So I have already had one medication cut back my sugar medication. yipee!!!:rolleyes2:

I am October 4 also. The first day of the liquid diet was tough. Day two hasnt been as bad, although I woke up feeling dizzy. After a Protein drink the feeling passed.

I am glad surgery is on a monday because it will be easier to keep me on the diet that last weekend. I am sure this weekend wont be fun. Atleast during the week work is a good distraction for much of the day.

Contratulations!!!! I am FINALLY getting banded OCT. 5th. This is day 2 of my liquids and its hard but im not gonna complain. It is worth it...im sticking to it because i know its worth the work and will also make for a safer surgery! Good luck all of you on this journey!

Becca glad to have you join us. You an I will be going through day by day together. The pre-opt diet is not to bad. I'm drinking a carnation instant breakfast in the AM and lunch time I drink a slim fast, and dinner I have bought WW smart ones so I don't have to figure out my calories.
