Is anyone out there already scheduled for a surgery in March? Mine is scheduled for March 5th.

Omg only 25 more days I'm so anxious

Same here...diets starts soon :-S

11 days to go an getting nervous!!

Thanks for the tips Molly. I have the low sodium broth (chicken) and gatorades and diet snapples. Am going to get the sugar free ice pops and sugar free jello today. Did not hear about the pillow and the heating pad - will have to look into that. Do you think it will be a problem that I have to go upstairs to my bedroom?

You're welcome, the pillow&heating pad was a tip that I got on this site. I'm also wondering about going upstairs, I already have a problem going upstairs last january I had a car accident and broke both legs, and I have to use both banesters to help me up. Any advice is helpfull, good luck!

My surgery is March 7th, I got my protein shakes, sugar free jello, sugar free Popsicles, low fat low sodium chicken broth, liquid vitamins, body pillow, and a heating pad. I hope that helps. and if I missed anything please keep me posted. Thanks!

Molly, I am on the 7th too! I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet. I am so excited and ready to be on the other side! Good luck to you next Thursday as well! What time is your surgery?

Good luck to all of you who are being banded today! I hope everything goes well for everyone and you all have a speedy recovery!

Surgery got pushed from March 8th to March 20th... Better late than never

11 days to go an getting nervous!!

Same here...except my date is 03/06. I've notices a big difference in dates on here & "acceptable" foods. Wonder why it's different for the same surgery?!

I have only tomorrow and Sunday left before Surgery and for the past week the pre-op diet has been fine, but today for some reason it is HARD. I am HUNGRY!!!

I've done lots of research and made my decision but right now I am just worried that I will not be able to follow the post-op restrictions. Just liquids! For so long! I guess I am finally appreciating how tough that will actually be and I'm a bit freaked about not respecting it and causing myself damage.

I guess with my surgery Monday am the reality of all this is finally hitting me! It's not like I didn't know, but now it's right there...!

I'm wondering about that also, my date is March 7th, I started my pre op February 28th.

I have a tough time following the rules as well! How long will u be on liquids? Day 3 post opp I can start puree's.

Is anyone out there already scheduled for a surgery in March? Mine is scheduled for March 5th.
