  • I saw my dietician and weight loss center nurse today. One week until surgery and I'm starting to get nervous. I'm super excited though. I've lost 30 pounds since May and can't wait to lose more!!!! G

I used milk of Mac & I did finally go just remember you don't have much solid in you so b patient when you strain it should not affect your stomach or band its to high up in the digestive track my Dr said it was safe to try but not till I'm in pain it cancause other issues(hemorrhoids...ugh)

That sets my mind at ease ;) Thanks!!

I hear lip balm, a pillow and Gas-X. Let me know. I 'm 8/31.

Good luck to you

Happy Band day to everyone going in today!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to hear from you!!! I'm doing pretty good. I LOVE my band and am so happy I did this! I have zero appetite and feel super stuffed. I know I need to get the proteing in though so I am trying! ;)

Day 8 of this DAMN pre-op Protein diet and I'm STARVING, STARVING!! lol At least I get one decent meal per day, I can't wait until din din time. I'll be banded on Thursday, August 23rd. I'm so hoping that I won't be hungry anymore. I think that's the worst part and I'm already stressed and crazy. I'll be fine I know, pre-surgery, new life jitters!
