All of us giving ourselves a jump start to the new year and a new us, Welcome!!

Hopefully we can help and check on each other as a journey begins.

I'm Banjo and my surgery date is Dec 17th!

Kellbell82, kriscakes7, lorigardner, and futuremrsh, are you out there?!

How about other december divas?

I too am the 20th I start pre op Thursday. Scared I will eat my lefy arm

Ha! It isn't even really that I'm HUNGRY. I just WANT. TO. EAT! I'm tired of drinking! sugar free Jello with a spoon helps a little. At least fools me into thinking I'm eating! HA

Started on protein & veggies for 7 days and strictly liquid now 5 days... 2 more to go, scheduled for surgery on Thursday this week... Its definitely not the hunger that drives me crazy but the not chewing anything... The upside, have lost 15lbs in 2 weeks.

Congrats that amazing. Good luck tomorrow. Keep us posted

Had surgery on December 12th here in Virginia. Lots of pain and gas that won't go away. Everyone says to walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip. Hoping all my walking and sipping will make this gas go away soon.

2nd day post op... Sore but doing very well...

I will be a December Diva!!! Looking forward to this journey .....a bit scared but excited!!!

Mine was dec 13th :-) wohooo to a new beginning and I can't wait to be off the liquid diet! HAHAHAHHA

Can someone please tell me if it's normal to have watery stools on my 6th day of pre- op liquids?

Yes, very normal.

Sounds like everyone is doing great!!

I mentioned this before, but I think it is worth saying again.

Try out bandwagon supporters as another useful thread.

Loads of people on it, the more knowledge the better.

Yes' date=' very normal.[/quote']

Yes it is of your only on liquids.

I was banded on the 21st! Friday and Saturday I was wondering what I just did to myself. I'm feeling much better now (gas pain is going away, that's a plus!)

The gas really surprised me too. I was banded the 21st also.

Now I'm just having trouble sleeping. There's lots of infomercials on this time in the morning!

I'm one month post op this week. How is everyone doing?
