My tentative surgery date is July 23rd because of my work schedule. It may change by a week but it looks like I'm gonna be a July baby. Anyone else out there that will be banded in July?

If I don't get banded by the end of June it will be early July! I'm excited, and scared! I envy those that get to do the 2 weeks Adkins diet, I have to do 2 weeks of ONLY protine shakes (3-5 a day). Anyone else have to do that? It seems so

Impossible!

that was what I was most scared of I just finished my appt with my nutritionist and I have to have 3 shakes and one low fat low carb high protein meal a day. I know I have to do it after surgery to allow time for my stomach to heal so keep me posted on how you are doing

Good luck and we can do this

banded the week of july 9th can't wait so excited.

I am getting banded July 9th!! How exciting!

I'm scheduled for July 9th OMG so ready to get on this journey praying for everyone and YES we can all do this. How many have started to cut back before the pre-op diet.

I'm July 9th too! I am going to start a pre-op diet next week to help me get use to less food before my liquid diet starting July 2nd. Good luck!

My date is etc for July 2nd!!! So excited!

I'm most happy I do not have to do a pre-op diet however I had to lose 10% before I qualified for surgery and must maintain that weight loss...two weeks prior to surgery I get weighed again. I got approved on April 9 and my surgery date is July 5 so I've had to maintain that loss almost 3 months....hasn't been easy mostly due to rigid diet and hungry alot.

My surgery date is set for July 30th, but just really nervous about it.

That sounds harder then what I have to do! 2 weeks of only shakes and crystal lite.

I think the best part is that I learned to eat alot healthier and learned alot more about portion control but at times I've wanted to give up...but I haven't so hooray for me!

I will be July 27. I am TOO excited!! Good luck!

I just pushed my surgery date back to July 30th! We had the opportunity to do it when my hubby was home so pushing it back is totally worth it Where are you having yours done?

My surgery is scheduled for July 2nd and I start my pre op diet tomorrow! I am so excited! I am ready to start my new healthier life!

I have to do 10 days of liquids broth, jello, apple sauce and sf puddin it's my 3rd day and very hard

I'm July 11. A little nervous but mostly excited!

July 12th here. Just had my last rib eye this evening and will be starting my diet tomorrow. I'm pretty stoked!

JULY!!! Woot Woot! Don't have my exact date yet but It will definitely be JULY! Should be the 1st or 2nd week..hoping the first but idk with their being a holiday smack dab in the middle of the week.

Wish me luck for the first week of July because I AM READY to start this new part of my life!

Good luck all!
