Ok July Bandsters was a great success and I was so thrilled to watch everyone's progress and immediate results that I thought we should start a thread for September Bandsters to share

I'm excited and yet apprehensive at the same time as I'm sure eveyrone has been. I start my presurgery diet next week (high Protein, low carb). I was only 37 BMI so they told me to hold off until I got approval! On September 7 is my preop. I also think that's the day I start the preop liquid diet?

Feel free to add yourself and we'll keep track together!

My surgery date has been set for September 22nd. I start the liquid diet on the 7th and go for all my pre-op on the 19th. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I lost 18 pounds during my 6 month supervised diet so know that I have the committment it will take to be successful! Good luck to all the September surgeries!

I am starting my 2 week pre op diet tomorrow. My surgery is on the 15th. I am supposed to have 2 shakes a day and one low carb meal. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to fix for my one meal?

Thanks,

Lisa

I am sorry to hear you have to be on the pre-op diet for four weeks. My surgery date is the same as yours Wednesday Sept. 14th but I dont start the diet till Sept 1st. Lets keep intouch and encourge each other. I know you can do it!! You came this far.

SEPTEMBER 2ND YIPEEE CAN'T WAIT!!! ALTHOUGH, I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF SURGERY.

My name is Jill and I'm new to this site and so glad I found it because I'll need all the support and advice I can get!! I've been in the program since the end of last year and finally have my surgery date!!! September 22nd I'm very excited!! I meet with the preop nutritionist tomorrow so i'm sure I'll get my new diet then. Which is good because I have had the last supper syndrome lately and have been eating alot more than I should be! I'm so happy to be making these new life style changes! Good luck to you all with your upcoming dates!!

Hi Jill,

Welcome to the September Bandsters!! I have my surgery on the 29th. I meet with the bariatric nurse and dietician tomorrow, lab work and meet with nurse practitioner the following week, and start my 2-week liver shrinking diet on the 15th. I, too, have hd the "last supper" syndrome. I've told my husband all the places I want to eat and what I want to eat until then. It's crazy! Well, we're glad you've joined us. Take care. All of us are willing to help in any way. Peg

I'm getting banded in 20 hours. I'm pretty nervous.

Wow four week post op is different I never head of that

Hi everyone going tomorrow to the Md think I will be starting the Preop. Surgery the 14th. I have MS and fell the other day breaking my ankle and foot. Because of the Hurricane we had, my Mds elevator doesn't work. Not sure how I will get up 2 flights of stairs but I don't want to postpone my appt because then everything will probably be pushed further and I want this over so I can get on my way to a healthier me. Luckily he said the breaks won't postpone the surgery as long as I can make my appt. UGH !

Will keep you in my prayers! I know how it is...you don't want anything or anyone to get in your way of your surgery date! Mine is Sept. 29th, and I just caught a bad cold from the rest of my family. I'm going to have to watch it closely because it usually turns into bronchitis with me. Can't be sick on surgery day!!! I hope you get up those 2 lights of stairs tomorrow. I'd sit on my butt and go up if everything else failed. Ha, ha!! Take care!
