We have the same date!

Day three of the pre-op diet. I actually was not that hungry today.

I'll be banded on the 17th but I'm finding this pre op partial liquid diet to be tougher than anticipated.....

day 5 of my preop....definately better today..surgery for feb 16th I CAN'T WAIT!

What are you finding to be difficult with it? I found it easier than I thought, I'm on protein shakes and protein bars. Were you allowed the bars?

My surgery day is Feb 20th!! I am super excited!!!

My date is also in Feb - I get admitted on the 8th and get banded on the 9th. Starting pre-op diet this weekend. Excited... but nervous.

My insurance finally approved yesterday! Talk about waiting until the last minute! I'm so over this liquid diet but I guess its not over. Just the post surgery week left!

Hi all, I was banded on the 9th. Surgery was ok, terrible nausea and gas pain on surgery day and yesterday.. Today I feel great, other than I am paranoid to drink too much, scared of stretching the pouch or it just coming back up...smaaaaalll sips lol

They warned me of that one haha! That will be my struggle, I'm a gulper not a sipper haha!

I cant wait to look more like my twin sister who I have always been 100 lbs heavier....Some one once came up to me and said wow I can tell your mother and daughter....

to open a drawer pull out a shirt and know it wont be pulling around my bellie...

to have a lap back then i can hold my lil ones on ( i have 4 adopted lil boys)

to bend over out side and weed my garden with out thinking oh lordy they must all be looking at that big butt...

my list too goes on an on.....

Congrats!! I am getting banded tomorrow too (the 13th). Fluctuating between excitement and nervousness.

There are many things that I wont miss either but I haven't had my coffee yet and my brain isn't awake enough lol
