On June 14th I met with the doctor and began the journey of testing and evaluations. This coming Wednesday I will (hopefully) have my meeting to review my sleep study results and receive my final green light of clearance!

I am praying all goes well and that Amerihealth Insurance doesn't deny me after all these months of testing and anticipation.

I think a little puree turkey will do just fine this year for Thanksgiving… here's to crossed fingers for a November banding!!

Anyone else in the same boat?

Im also struggling im getting banded on Tuesday an im on a full liquid diet im suppose to be drinking 3 atkins shakes a day broth and sugarfree popscicles in berween an im starving!!!...lol i cant drink the shakes they make me sick to my stomach so iv been just drinking broth so i to would luv some sugestions on a Good Protein shake! Good luck to you! We can do it just think Of the end results!!!

I use Premier Protein 30g it's at SAMs where I live U might have to google it if you don't have a SAMs they are really good I only do the chocolate

Premier also avail at Costco.

I ordered the sample pack from Unjury (unjury.com) It came with a chicken broth flavored protein, not too bad and a change from the shakes. They also include chocolate, unflavored and strawberry. I bought Muscle Milk Light, Adkins and EAS. They all taste about the same. I can't wait until next week to add some yogurt and milk as another way to get protein in. I'm not hitting anything close to 60.

Oh yes, can someone please add me to the FB page? Karan Schmiderer Thanks!

I'm getting more liquids in than I was. I'm sipping more broth and apple juice. I'm just tired of shakes but still trying to drink them

hi

I was banded yesterday and stayed overnight. Came home a few hours ago. I have to say, I feel really good. Today was my first day of being able to drink stuff. I had the swallow test this morning and then was able to start drinking water, then Ensure. I can't get over how good I feel. I have been walking 30 minute stretches 3-4 times a day. really excited!

Just got the band on November 1st. The First 2 days were rough but no complaints now my post op appointment is the 16th, but lost 10lbs already.

My sugery is scheduled for Nov 16! Very excited, but a little nervous. Today is the first day of the second week of the preop diet. Mine seems kinda strict from some of the others ive seen on here. The first week, two protein shakes and a bowl of soup. The second week two protein shakes and a bowl of blended soup. Anxious to begin this new chapter of my life!!

I was banded on the 6th. It has gone pretty ok. Still have some incision pain but it's manageable. Glad to join this group!

I've started my liquid diet a few days early with a small meal at night Tuesday will be hard I fear but I just keep thinking nothing tastes as good as thin feels! I've been reading so many negative post I'm glad to hear positive ones. Still I am nervous a bit but exited.Goodbye to my old friend "bread" hello to my new love "health". Banding Day the 25th..goodnight all.
