awsome band buddy!

haha I've really just learned how to perfect hiding my belly, so far it only works in pictures. That and I wear heels for full body photos, I hold a lot of weight in my thighs, more than I'd like to admit really.

Bbbanded you hav e pcos as well? Are u nervous about ur wl bc of it? That's really the only thing that makes a lil nervous with this whole thing!

I do, as for being worried, I'm not in the slightest I've lost 20 lbs on my own, granted it took 3 months. At one point I was concerned I wouldn't lose anything, but after seeing what I could do without the band I'm confident t hat I'll be fine.

I am being banded on May 9th! Yay!

Hello everyone... I have my procedure scheduled for May 1st... I think I've gone through every emotion possible from terrified of failure to being angry that I have to actually do this to become healthier, but now that I'm so close I feel a bit nervous but besides those normal pre any surgery jitters I'm very calm about this... I know that this is the right choice and I know that a year from now I'll be telling myself Thank GOD you did it... so Good Luck everyone and I hope we can all go through this together.

Hello!!! So glad I found this forum! My surgery date is on may 11 and I'm so excited and ready!!! Is anyone following the pre-op diet? I'm wondering if we have to drink 3 packs a day for sure because I usually am full with 2 a day?! Weird but any thoughts?

I'm right there with you...I feel the exact same way!! Def glad I have all of u to go thru this with!

Wow!! Look at how we are growing TEAM MAY BANDSTERS!!! WTG!

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!

Omg...the chocolate splendor is soo good!! Tastes jus like chocolate milk and barely any after taste @ all! I will def b ordering the large tub of this!!

The May bloomers are popping up all over the place. :) Keep on popping and blooming! :D

Ok am I the only one that has a dr. that is requesting a liquid diet for two weeks before surgery?
