cmk9 &

Rojasanoli good luck monday and we'll be thinking about you!

My surgery is scheduled for August 24th. Very excited to start my new life!

My surgery is August 30th! I technically don't need to start my pre-op diet until the 20th but I'm thinking I should at least start practicing eating lower carbs now???

I'm still new to this but I am scheduled for Aug. 7th. I'm in Austin Tx. And I'm still pretty nervous.

Think positive that one day you will see your toes. Kidding aside, prayers for your continued journey and a great chance to improve your well being and your health. WE can do this together. My band date is Monday Aug 6 at 1:15pm.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

August 13th and I can't wait.... Being prayerful...woohoooo :wub:

I'm now complete with everything. I've just pre-registered at Santa Barbara Hospital and my check-in time is 11:15am on Monday' date=' Aug 6 and surgery for 1:15pm.

I'm excited and ready![/quote']

Good luck for tomorrow, bet you must be excited.

The time goes o slow when you are waiting for a certain date (28th). I only decided I was doing this about three weeks ago so I shouldn't complain. I have had to pay for it myself!! It's one hell of a lot of money but I have to change my life. I have one week now until my pre op diet starts (milk diet for 2 weeks). I am trying to keep so busy, it's almost like the nesting instinct I had when expecting my girls.......well at least the house will be clean!! I have told a few close friends and had quite mixed comments but I know this is right for me.

23 days to go!!! & Me and 67jax will be banded!

I am getting banded August 21. I am in day 5 of liquid diet and fairly miserable.

My date is 8/27!!!! I'm nervous! I'm almost more so about the pre- op diet. I need the strength and will power.

I'm 32 and almost 2 years ago my husband passed away suddenly. Since then I have given up on me and life. I now hoping to learn to live again. I'm scared of complications and such but it's time. I know this surgery can't bring my husband back but it has the possibility of bringing me back. I owe that to him and my family and most important myself. 3 more weeks until my new birthday:)

mrslogan0612,

That's a heartbreaking but inspiring story. Thanks for sharing with us. And you're right - it's the first day of your new life. Will be thinking about you!

I'm new too, but I started slowly by replacing breakfast, then lunch with my Hi Protein shakes. I'm not hungry anymore, per se, but carb withdrawl is horrible. Headaches and queesiness mainly...grumpiness too! Luckily for me, everyone in my household can fend for themselves, so I can hole up in my room and not smell food!

August 23! Good luck gang!

I am getting banded August 21. I am in day 5 of liquid diet and fairly miserable.

My date I the 21st to! I am on day 7 it does sick but we have 16 days left!

August 2nd! Done and done! Lost 13 pounds!
