Hello,

First Post very nervous and apprehensive. May date is March 20th.

Hi! We are bandtwins; my surgery date is also March 20th...three weeks away!

Getting excited and I actually dreamt that I got the surgery....the dream was so vivid from start to finish. It was a cool dream, but now it's like I have to go through it a second time!

Three weeks will go by in a flash...it will be great to be on "the other side."

Wish a smooth an uneventful pre to post-op to all March bandsters!

Has anyone that is on their pre op diet experienced being light headed?

Yes, I have. I usually try to drink something and wait through it. If it does not go away, I have a little protein, and sometimes chicken boullion helps as well. I had a headache all day yesterday, and think it may have been related.

No not so far. Could be low blood sugar. That's one of the symptoms. I'd call the dr and let them know. They may let you add some extra protein. If its bad now and the office is closed, eat some extra protein anyway. It will bring up your sugar and keep it steady. You could then call tomorrow.

Ugghhh just got denied and now they have to do a peer to peer on Monday and my surgery is supposed to be Tuesday. I swear if it isn't one thing it's another very disappointed right now!

Thank you that is what I was thinking.

I will try that thank you

Time is going so slow ......25 of march hurry up

So excited, my surgery is March 18th!!!

Went to doctor yesterday, day 7 of preop diet and lost 13 pounds!! So exciting, I have never lost 13 pounds in a week. Surgery friday, can't wait!

This is my first post on a message board EVER...but I figured the best way to get started is just to jump in! I am scheduled for surgery on March 14th. I start my two week liquid diet on Friday...only 1 1/2 days left to eat food...lol...I am counting them down like it's my "Last Supper"...it's crazy how food rules a person's life!! I am definitely more nervous about the pre-op diet than I am about the post-op diet...
