Super excited!! April couldn't get here any faster!!! I'm ready for this change in my life!!

My pre op is going well I have lost 19 so far as of today ! I scheduled for 730 am Monday morning I am nervous excited scared ! How are you doing I will be thinking and praying for you as we'll !

I am having surgery on the same day and time in Lincoln, NE!!!!!! Good luck!!

Mrs. Lori Jo I love the scripture at the end of your replies this is such a true fact

I am sooooooooo hungry!!! LOL

Day 3 of pre op diet! Who was in NY? Im in huntington!

I am 8 days on the pre-op diet it has not been nearly as bad as I feared, only a couple of days have i thought "if I could just cheat this little bit" but I have been good. I think it's hard because I have a husband and 4 kids to cook for and we have family dinners so while i have my skimpy dinner their having my home cooked meal, but really it's been head hunger to battle and that even hasn't been to bad.

5 days to surgery! can't wait I'll keep you guys in my thoughts and wishing you the best, everyone, and me too will all do great.

Are you allowed to eat real food?? Im on Liquids really only-its really hard-i had to sit with my 2 kids and my husband while they had burgers and i had a blah protein shake

I'm on my pre-op diet and I'm allowed to eat real food up until I wake up on Wednesday morning. Wednesday and Thursday I'm on clear liquids only and I have my surgery Friday. All pre-op diets depend on surgeon preference.

And by real food I mean protein and vegetables(certain low carb ones) and no starches

Are you allowed to eat real food?? Im on Liquids really only-its really hard-i had to sit with my 2 kids and my husband while they had burgers and i had a blah Protein shake

Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and then 200-400 calorie t.v. dinner so basically 800 cals. a day. since I've decided to get the band I am only cooking healthy meals, for me I will only be succesful if its a lifestyle change even my kids have and husband has lost weight. we're all being more active and I've cut almost all carbs and my DH doesn't get heartburn anymore. we've been doing this for a month but it feels really good!

I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

Same too to I will post from the hospital

New here from ny. 4/4/13.

Mine is April 5th- OMG that's THIS FRIDAY!!! I leave for NJ from PA on Thurs April 4th where I'll meet w the doctor and do all that extra pre-op stuff left to do...so, I like to count April 4th as my day so that it seems even sooner! Lol. We need to stick together, especially we April banders! Learn from one another and keep each other inspired to keep strict with the directions/diet rules. I can speak for myself by saying that it'd b really good for me to have a or some buddies to tt while going thru this huge life change. Good luck to everyone and may the days pass by quickly bc it seems to be the longest wait ever the closed u get!
