I am new to this site need some buddies to go through this with ! Surgery set for may 2nd anyone else scheduled in may???

I am getting way excited too. I really am doing good on my diet. Willpower short term is my thing..hahaha

However If i slip up it all goes to potty in a fast hurry. Did any of you others do that? Im sure we have all had successful dieting and then fell off the wagon and then beat ourselves up over it.

I am pryaing for the strength that I need now and for after the surgery!!

I am sure we will all make it. We have waited a long time for this!!

This is me exactly and the whole reason I am getting the band is for that extra little support to keep me on track when I want to fall off. When I am on track, I am on track! But then i fall off and it takes me awhile to get back, so I lose weight, gain weight, lose weight, gain weight. I have lost 32 pounds of my 104 Im trying to lose. The motivation comes from the fact that I was doing the pre op diet. Im excited about doing this, so that was motivation. Like you, short term goals are great for me. My goal is another 8 pounds before surgery. I lose weight very quickly, but gain it just as fast, so I have to be careful. Good luck to you! May bandsters UNITE!!

Hi my first time posting here.. been following a little while..

May 1st is my surgery... Holy cow am I getting nervous. Not because of the surgery but the after math. Yikes. Anyways, I pray that this will finally happen for me. My sister had it 3 years ago and is doing awesome. She is my hero right now!

Big weekend ahead with my mom and having that last big meal (or should I say meals). I hope I am not the only one that does that! My doctor only needs one day on liquid before the surgery (thank goodness)..

So off to read some more posts!!

Susan

Nice to see you here Susan.

I wish that I could have that big meal before my surgery but I have decided that I cant. I have come this far..If I did I would just over eat,and feel guilty and rotten all day long. Right now I am in a good frame of mind with the surgery coming up and I dont want to spoil that. I had too many years of those Last meals..lol

Ive never heard of such a limited amount of time for the liquid diet! wow..lucky you again...hahah

Keep us posted here and let us know how it all goes. IM super excited and scared all at the same time but I am really looking forward to this.

Go Maysters!!

Having surgery on May 11! So excited! Been on the pre-op diet since Monday. Three recommendations: powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Protein shakes (best I've ever had!), Crystal Light Energy grape flavor (awesomeness!), fried tilapia with garlic powder sprinkled on it (takes about 5 mins. to prepare and it's incredibly good and I was never a fish eater).

So excited and highly motivated!

I jus got my unjury mix today...I jus ordered the individual packs to try them out..I've heard that they are pretty good.

I've been on several diets over the years where I've had to drink whey Protein mixes. Unjury is BY FAR the best I've ever had! It's delicious! I mix it with 8 oz. of skim milk. I ordered some strawberry Sorbet too but haven't tried that yet. One of the nurses said that she mixes the strawberry sorbet into her Greek yogurt and she loves it. But you can mix it with Crystal Light or whatever and get your protein in.

I love seeing so many May banders!

I have 6 days to go!

I told my Dr. yesterday I was scared and excited at the same time. She said that it is pretty normal feeling. I think we all have dieted so many times and failed that we have it some where in the back of our head that we just will never win. But none of us have had this great tool to help us before. And I love to let you all know that We our all winners because we have choose to try again and this time we will succeed. Also I don't think I have ever had so many buddies to help me thru it as I have now with all of you!

You are soo right about that!! Glad to b goin on this journey with all of you!!
