I have my surgery set for Monday Jan. 30th. @ 9am. I have to be at the hospital by 7:30am. I know i will eat again and I know I will eat everything o eat before the band just in a smaller more controlled portion. If this tool can help me with the snacking i do at night i am sure i will be succesful with it and with losing weight. will it stop me everynight no, wll it stop me 8 out 10 yeah probably i can live with that.

Good luck for monday.

Good luck, relax and enjoy.

Any chance for a last meal tonight? I did, then fasted all day Sunday before my surgery on a Monday.

Went to a place. Knew I would NEVER eat at again...a Chinese Buffet!

Last meals.... I had to do my last meal before my pre op diet so if you get one be sure and enjoy and say goodbye to over eating for the last time lol! This will be a great decision in your life so don't be scared it will be hard and wonderful all at the same time....when you see the scale moving and more importantly the clothes starting to hang on you just motivates you more! I started this journey wearing a 22 last February and now comfortably wearing a 14 and a 12 in some things! Good luck!

Good luck.

Hi! I was banded last Thursday and I have lost 19 pounds. The first post-op days were hard, but there was no desire to eat. You are right this is a tool only,and if you can keep that in the front of your mind I think I'l do good! Good luck!

My surgery is Monday too! I am soooo sick of my stupid pre-op diet! UGH. I have had a couple of cheats but nothing major. And my husband will not allow me a "last supper". Probably for the best tho....Good luck!!!

Awesome, welcome to the club. I love my band! Best of luck to you!

Hi there, I recently had it done on Jan 18th 2012 and for the moment I am doing really well. Didn t get sick with nausea of vomiting at all (knock on wood) im am presently doing the mushy food. I finished the liquid diet stage so I moved on to the next level however i only have 30 lbs to lose I am impatient about that. Can t wait to have it all gone. This is a life time change and its gonna take a lot of work from our part but think of the results when you get to your goal. We will be very very happy. Good Luck.

After I got my final labs in Mexico they said I was free to eat whatever I wanted for my final meal. How lucky for me that they had the most fantastic steak lounge right across the street. It was the best meal in had ever had. And I got to have a margarita. Of course I know it will be a long time before I can have filet mignon again so maybe that is why it was so fantastic.

I had my surgery the next day around 9:30am and everything went fine.

Hey I had your exact weight, and bmi although I am once inch shorter. I had my surgery in Mexico but I have a friend whose insurance covered hers at 35 bmi but she had 3 weight related medical conditions. So you might qualify if you have medical issues.

My surgery is tomorrow. I am ready. Had a couple of cheats as well on the pre-op diet. What's bothering me more is that I am going to get my period tomorrow so I am retaining water weight. I 10 lbs I lost on pre-op is looking more like 7lbs this morning. Lol.

Hello,

My surgery is Monday too. Scheduled for 9:45 arrival time 7:30. Today it's a diet of Clear liquids & non-fat milk. I also have to down a 10oz bottle of Magnesium citrate...uggh. Very excited about surgery and what is to follow. I have been waiting for this for close to a year. Insurance took me for a ride, they really know how to work it, but that's another story.

I have Zumba in my DVD and am reading Runner's World's 'Run your Butt Off.' I am soo ready for this.
