I know it's early, but wondering if there's any one else getting ready to get banded in September? I have one more Ins required weigh in Aug 19 then my paperwork gets submitted for approval!

I was already told I'm on the schedule for September 27! Fingers crossed!

Day one, clear liquids done. Wasn't horrible but, wasn't a good time either. I feel good this morning, not as hungry

Day after tomorrow...band day!

I'm on the 17th but in CA

Awesome!!!! Congrats to u too :-) We can stay in touch so we can help each other out.

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow - nervous & excited! Liquid diet blows - lol. I'm starving but it will pay off

I joined!! There are no posts yet though...

So I get a call this afternoon that without my permission they have changed my surgery from Sept 30 to the 18th! Before I can even say no, that's impossible for me, the hospital calls for pre-surgical testing! I cannot possibly do it until the 27th or later because of work. So, I have to call back and fix this mess tomorrow. I haven't even gotten my cardiology clearance or PCP clearance done yet!!! I just started my pre-op diet on Monday. I finally made it down to the next 10 lb increment on the scale and I am sooooo excited about that because it took a little while.

I am doing fine with a shake before work, then one for lunch. It's quick, and I really don't mind the taste. It's the texture that bugs me if I let it sit for too long. It almost congeals to a slime.

I am exhausted this week, and I can't tell if it's just from school starting or this pre-op diet. It's probably both. I have more energy over all during the day, but when I wake in the morning, I feel like a didn't really sleep well. After work, I am just pooped.

So sorry that happened to you! I was supposed to have surgery tomorrow and practically starving myself for a week to learn that they changed the surgery until Friday. Now I'm bummed !

Anyone else having bad breath on the pre-op diet? Even after I brushed as usual, my daughter said my breath stunk, and I've been having an odd taste in my mouth.

It is most likely because your body is going into ketosis. It is when you are eating less carbs and consuming more protein. It can cause bad breath. It will go away!! Your body is now burning fat for energy!

Well I hope it goes away! My poor family...and my poor colleagues and students! Just call me dragon breath!

Mine is scheduled for tomorrow (9/12) also. Im super excited. Good luck tomorrow. And I agree. Liquid diet sucks. Lol.

Good luck to all those who will be banded this week! Speedy recovery!

PrincessT, hope everything goes smoothly.

Just 12 hours until surgery. It almost doesn't seem real. Ready to be on the other side. My pre-op diet was pretty lenient so it wasn't terrible. I hope there will not be too much pain after.

I am looking forward to seeing how everyone is doing after surgery!

My surgery is tomorrow also!!! I have to be there at 730 am!! Getting nervous a little!! Good luck to everyone :-)
