I will be getting banded on Aug. 11th as well. Let's all keep in touch and check on each other. I know I'm gonna need all the help begining 7-28 when I start my pre opt diet. I'm excited & nervous as well. Good luck!!

Yes I agree!! I am getting banded the day after you on August 12! I need lots of help from all of you too!! I am anxious to make "band friends"

I have a surgery date of Aug. 11th. I'm so nervous. I'm mostly scared of having to retrain myself on eating differantly, smaller bites, not drinking while eating etc. I hope I can make these changes easily.

mine is August 12 Im going through the same thoughts!

With the liquid diet... Can you drink Water? As much as you want? I start my opti fast on Friday I wasn't sure and also can you eat food like salad or sf jello/pudding? What about Protein Shakes? ?? Thanks anyone for info so confused :-)

[CarynW 3]

Your doc didn't give you a paper that said what you can eat? Mine is high Protein partial liquid. It says Protein Shakes, veggies, salad and more protein shakes, as well as Water and liquids.< /p>

Hi! I am August 3 as well. One more week of waiting in which I have 3000 things to do in addition to the surgery. I am running a VBS music program the week after banding and have to get all the pre-liminary work done for that this week, as well as a reunion that I have been working on for the 6th of August. Both were planned a year before the surgery, but being a teacher, I have to get the band done before September school starts. I'll fit it in somehow! lol

The best thing I am doing for me though, is August 2--night before the surgery, I am going to see Josh Groban in concert!!! I have wanted to do this for 10 years, so its a huge treat for myself. I think I won't have time to get nervous with all that beautiful music in my head!!! Can't wait!!!

Have a great week yourself, and very very good luck to you as well.

My date is Aug. 3. Which is my mom's birthday. I was given a July date but I wanted to enjoy my 2nd wedding anniversary which is Aug 1. and hubby's bday is the 2nd. It feels so far away that I want to switch back but I'll wait!

Well you have made one here! We can go through this together. The day is getting closer and closer. I go see the Nutritionist tomorrow, then on Thursday I start my Preopt diet which is just a NO carb diet.

How about you?
