I'm so excited I can't stand it. Seems like it'll take forever for Aug. 28th to get here! I can't wait to get started on this part of my life! I have bought skinny-clothes just waiting to be able to wear them. I never buy clothes that fit me now anymore.... I bought size 8 levi's yesterday and they're soooo cute!!! Well, it's late and I've just run out of things to talk about, I'm just a waitin'...

I know i'm counting down and it doesn't feel like it's getting any closer. 31 days feels like a life time. Almost worst than last month of pregnancy!!!

Yes I'm scheduled for Aug 1, 2012 I'm on the liquid diet. Just Protein Shakes 4 times a day unsweetened applesauce, sugar free fat free pudding and Jello. I started getting hungry and decided to take wonton Soup no wonton and steamed broccoli and eating it for dinner it really helped. This is really mind over matter. In 1 week I lost 10 pounds

You're invited to join our august 2012 bandsters group if you haven't already. Good luck and take care...

I am getting banded in august 1 but my doctor did not say anything about a pre op diet. Does it just depend on your doctor?

You may want to contact your doctor, it's unusual not to be put on a 10 day liquid only diet to shrink the liver for surgery. I was given the pre-op instructions and diet on my initial visit and again after I had my EDG with the surgeon. The pre-op diet and instructions are really important. I'm scheduled to have surgery on August 23 and will begin my pre-op diet the Sunday I return from a 7 day cruise. I have received my Unjury Protein powders and now I need to get the last of my supplies before surgery. Looking forward to starting life anew!

I was told this week the insurance company would require 3 more months of dietitian visits, which bummed me out. Then they called back about 30 minutes later and said the medical supervisor at my insurance company approved me without the additional time!!! So I go for my pre-op appointment on the 31st and the surgery is scheduled for the 17th. I am excited and nervous!!

Congrats, Tomosia!! I'm scheduled on August 2nd, the pre-op diet is finally starting to get rough... anyone else scheduled for the 2nd?

[slojo67 125]

I have to be on liquid diet for 3 days before surgery, I think it depends on your BMI/surgeon...

My surgery is August 2nd I've struggled with the physicians I have a extensive medical history and I believe it has scared them. Rather than admit that they have basically put in a road blocks in my path but I got around all of them. Now I'm in the semiliquid diet 2 weeks pror to surgery I'm nervous.

I'm scheduled for the 3rd and I am starting to have a little trouble with it. I have been put on the Optifast and I'm seriously trying to figure out if there are any other options that I can maybe mix in at certain meal times.

Good to find someone out there with my same date! What kind of diet exactly did they put you on?
