[Got my date finally..so excited. I go in July 5th for preop and July 6th at 1pm is my surgery. Just curious thought, with such a late surgery time, will it still be a same day procedure. Not sure if I ca nmuster the strength to leave in a short period of time lol.

Today is my last day of food FREEDOM!( So I’ve planned my perfect “Last Day Diet” before I descend into the horrible world of Optifast Meal Replacement… (aka Pre-Op) =/

Breakfast: Bacon and Egg Roll from the take away shop next door… SO YUMMY!

Lunch: Gnocchi and homemade Pasta sauce…. Yummier!!!

Afternoon Tea: Carrot Cake after gym…. GOD I love cake!

Dinner: Chinese food from my friend Steffie’s restaurant!

Drinks: Midori Illusion, Diet Coke and strawberry Milkshake!

I'm right there with you as tonight is my last day of food freedom. I have two weeks of Slim-Fast High Protein Meal Replacement shakes to look forward to.

Tonight, homemade turkey pot pie, ice tea and apple pie/ice cream for dessert. Tomorrow, vanilla Slim Fast X4!

Best of luck on your pre-op!

I made a little banner thing for us July folks....here is the link. If you'd like it, just cut and paste it on your signature page. Also, I'm not too tech savvy, but when I made it, the background was red, white and blue (for 4th of July), but when it publishes, it changes to some orangish color? Anyone know how to fix this? Or anyone want to change it at all?

Under "Effects" - The slider on the sparkle effect just changes the colour not the amount of sparkles! =)

Hi Again All,

I am getting so excited! I just ordered some more samples online and added a ticker to my posts. I love reading all of the encouraging words and about the experiences you are all going through. I am so happy that I found this site!

I have about two weeks and two days left before I am banded! Woohoo!

Hello Everyone!

I have been checking out the site for the last 6 or so months as I jumped through my insurance's hoops waiting for approval. I am happy to say that barring any unforeseen problems I will be banded July 14th!! HOORAY!

I am 32, mother of 2 in Massachusetts, with a family history of obesity and a BMI of 43. I have lost 17 lbs since starting this process, and am slated to begin my preop diet on Wed. What I am most looking forward to is relief from Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. This is such a great way to make new connections with likeminded people, and am excited to join the group!

Welcome! I too am a newbie and I'm getting banded July 13th. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I have had problems with plantar fascitis as well. Can't wait to get this weight off my joints.

I'm here if you need me.

Haven't started my pre-op yet, but my doctor said we could use stool softners if we got contstipated. Not looking forward to that aspect. Good lock on the pre-op!

I am on the Millbury/Worcester line. So I'm only about 30 minutes from you, so cool! Its good to see a local on the forum. You're going to love this group, everyone is sooo supportive!

We'll definitely have to keep up with one another. When is your surgery date? I'm going in a week from Tuesday...yikes! (in a good yet scared way lol)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
