I'm March 18th too!!! FREAKING OUT! I'm so excited' date=' but not looking forward to telling my dad... I mentioned wanting a band about a year ago and my family just doesn't think that I need it. "Work your little a** off to work your little a** off." Has anyone else experienced people saying that you don't "need" the band? My consultation was on February 6 and my insurance approved 2 weeks later. I think I'm obviously a good candidate.

I read all of this thread - I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone! Good luck on the pre op diets - mine starts 2 weeks out ð[/quote']

My husband and sister are the only ones that know. My mom would be totally against anything surgery related. My sister mentioned considering wls last year and she just flipped out. Chose not to share with dad either. Some things you just have to do. It's not about them anyway, it's about changing our lives. I wish you all the best! So glad we have each other. We are in this thing together!

Hi Everyone!I just got my surgery date last night, March 9th! I have to start my liquid diet on Thursday. I am really happy, but now very nervous, mostly about the anesthesia. I have had surgeries before, and I hate that moment you are put under, everyone in masks, the operating room etc... I hope they can give me something to relax. I look forward to sharing our journeys!

Abbie, drinking Water or chicken broth really helps me feel fuller. I have recently started drinking flavored herbal hot teas, and those help, too.

This is day 2 of my liquid diet. Day 1 was no problem at all. Today experienced some hunger and I was a little light headed.

Realized I needed to drink something. Did Water and a fudgesicle, it helped. We can do this!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
