My surgery is set for June 4th, sooooo excited! Looking for fun people to have this experience with! Thanks and good luck everyone!

I'm getting banded on june 11th & I'm very nervous I know its bc I have never had any type of surgery.

The surgery is really not bad at all! I had never had any kind of surgery either, never broken a bone, no teeth pulled, like nothing lol. I had surgery on the 4th. The whole process was quick and seemed very relaxed to everyone! You will do great, so try not to worry about it

Thanks:) the hardest thing for me thru this whole process is quitting smoking cigarettes I have smoked for 8 years, but I will say the last 3 weeks I have smoked 1 every other day but not always, going from smoking about a half a pack a day to 1 us very good for me ,it just seems to calm my nerves. Has anybody else had a problem quitting??? If u did quit how?

How are you doing? Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. It's a huge comfort.

Anyone else having problems getting in 3 protein shakes a day?

Surgery set for June 13ð

That's awesome. It all happened in 5 days from when you thought it would never happen so excited for you.

I'm supposed to drink 5! Maybe they are smaller than yours though. Mine are 160 calories and the size of a juice box. I can usually get them all in, but I also get no food.

Surgery date is June 14. Day 11 of pre-op diet. I'm dying to chew something!! Have lost about 11 lbs. Ready for the next step on this crazy journey.

I know it must be a bit tough. I always have a let down after the event I've anticipated has come and gone. That plus "this is now real" must be hard. Just imagine a room full of us cheering you on! We've all made courageous decisions, I think. We should be applauded for our determination!

I know how you are feeling lisamase, I had surgery the day after you did, everyday seems to be difficult so far, We just have to remember that it will all be worth it in the end!

Hang in there, I cannot even imagine the roller coaster ride you are going through post surgery emotionally and physically. I know you will do amazing.

Awesome I work in Brandon. Good luck to you.... its so nice to know we are not on this journey alone and have others who understand.

Well I slipped on my preop diet:( I had a piece of cheese and a lean cuisine. Still under calorie limit- but not happy with myself:(
