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

I was supposed to have mine done march 18 th but I just had emergency gallbladder surgery so they put off my lap band till May. I'm so disappointed.

Everything went fine feel good just a little sleepy had my band done at 9:45 and was home by 1pm . Thanks for asking dearlh

Glad to hear ur well. Get some rest!

Thank you to everyone for posting about their surgeries and pre-op diets. I don't have much time during the week to write much. 2 weeks 6 days until my banding. I have been doing the protein shakes for two weeks on my own. Two a day and then dinner. Lost 5lbs so far. Will officially start on Friday but will have to get strict with dinner. Been snacking a bit but staying around 1100 cal will need to decrease to 800. Hope everyone is feeling well and thank you to those who helped me with the ticker. Have it on my profile but I'm not sure if it's showing up with my post. If there is a trick to that can someone left me know. Do I need to cut and paste?

So day 5 of 14... Guess what my scale said? 9lbs lost!!!! So excited I put on my jeans and they are rather comfy! WooHoo! Just the motivation I needed!

_{My date is March 18th. So ready, the liquid diet is hard!!! I am self pay too. SO I know I will make it work!!}

Well I got banded yesterday. The nurses where laughing at me . They said they have never seen anyone in such a good mood and excited to have surgery. My surgery was around 7:45am and I was home by noon. I slept off and on most of the day. I got up several times and walked around my house. Today I feel a littel better but still shaky and took another 2 hr nap. I am sipping water as often as possible to stay hydrated. Even that is a chore right now. I am really sore inside and out but I know every day will get better. I have used gas-x strips when I felt the soreness inside and it definately helped. Also used the heat pad when I'm feeling sore and it helps also. Good luck to everyone getting banded next week!

Glad it went well...your attitude is half the battle.

March 20th is coming fast but not fast enough! 3rd day on pre op diet and its getting easier. I can't complain though bc it's not all liquid until closer to surgery date. How's everyone doing with their pre op diets?

I (oddly) miss being at work to help distract me from not being able to eat. I have been hungrier at home and have already had 3 shakes today and its only a little past noon! So I'm going out to exercise. Burn off these calories.

I'm scheduled for the 20th as well. I want food soooo much!! I noticed it's not as bad when a work and busy. Being at home isn't helping at all.

My pre-op is shakes and SF no calorie drinks, and 4-6oz of lean meat if I have to absolutely chew something.

I am such a food addict, it's driving me nuts!
