Things are getting better each day. I was having a bit of a problem with diarreha :guess and the doctor said it was probably too much Protein Shake. He gave me permission to stop drinking the nasty stuff for a few days. And guess what, it's getting better.

I have lost more weight in the last week then I have ever lost in a weeks period. I will not tell ya'll how much because ya'll still haven't had your procedure and I don't want you to get jealous. LOL Hint: weight loss is the square root of 64 times 2.

:clap2:

You are a cruel man Keller john. You know I have no math skills. LOL Either way I'm jealous, especially with my surgery date pushed back to April 24th. I am so glad that you are seeing some results already. That's what we pre-banders need to hear.

I will be having my surgery on April 4th. This is my first time here. I am excited, scared, worried!!! I have done all my pre-op testing, have seen the surgeon (next time we see each other will be in the OR), am now on the liquid diet (OPTIFAST -- TASTES GREAT AS A SHAKE). Can't wait to feel better and have more energy. Carrying around all this weight for so long has been awful. Ahhh... better days are around the corner.

With the liquid diet they make you live on the week before... losing 10 lbs will be easy. I have been on it 6 days and lost 7 lbs

I am 41, an RN, and I am having surgery on 4/5. Yesterday was pre-op. Getting kinda nervous. My doc didn't put me on a pre op diet, but I am trying not to go crazy. I just came back home to New Orleans....the BEST food on earth!

I've got pre-op in the morning!!!!!!!!

(please notice that I'm using my sing-song happy voice :lalala: )

Now to remember nothing after midnight.

Oh--must have missed this thread.

Count me in--I'm to be banded April 18, 2006!!! Can't wait.

My doc. has me on a 30 day liquid diet. I have not done so well, but I have 20 days to go. I will try harder on these last 20.

Good luck to all of you April Bandsters!!!! Hopefully next spring there will be a whole lot less of us.

Dana,

I think of you often and your 30 day liquid diet. But just think of the reward in the end for staying with it. :whoo:

:first: :first: :first:

Keep it up. You'll make it!

Oh, and why is it that once you know your not allowed to eat anything after a certain time that you suddenly became a raving hungry lunatic that's looking for something to eat????????

:hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry:

At least that's the way it always works with me.

Audra, girl, I know what you mean. I have just been ravenous--I think it is psychological. Our brains know that something major is about to occur--whoo--Lord, just let me get through the next three weeks. :confused:

You don't have much longer, do you, Audra? I bet you are so excited.
