Hi Everyone -

I'm scheduled for lapband to sleeve revision on September 16 in Houston.

My post-op appointment is August 21 and then I'll start the liquid diet on September 2.

I'm curious to see how it goes. I've heard the revisions may not lose as much as first timers.

I also need to figure out how to set up that tracker here!

If you are looking for the tracker...check under "my profile" on your page setup.

Scheduled for 09/16 here!

I'm scheduled Sept 12th in TJ at the MI Hospital with Dr. Valenzuela. I'm so excited!! I'm flying in Sept 11th and will leave late Sept 16th. I'm traveling alone' date=' so it would be great to find someone else going the same time as me![/quote']

Im havig surgery on the 11th...see you walking the halls on the 12th

My surgery is Sept. 3rd at 9:00 am ....I start my pre diet tomorrow...

Tonight is my "last supper" for a while since tomorrow dawns a new dieting day. Liquids, other liquids, and still more liquids! Did I mention that chocolate is my favorite drink, candy, and Friendly's chocolate fribbles rule! At least I won't be thirsty and I am psyched to face being hungry until I get my appetite in line with my mind.

My pre-op lab work, X-Ray, Nutritionist and Doctor appointments are August 29th (talk about the last minute) and VAG is scheduled for September 3 at the Bayshore Medical Center. Two days in the hospital, 5 days recovery at home and then doctor's followup appointment.

I have a high school reunion coming up on Columbus Day Weekend. The reunion is at a great restaurant with dining, drinking, and dancing - the potential for an embarrasing "blowout" is off the chart.

Being on a liquid diet and still healing in the face of a great menu, open bar, and dancing is way too tempting. Worse yet is the following morning's breakfast buffet, OMG, I am (was) a lover of all things breakfast including mimosas.

Yup, time to scratch attending the reunion and focus on my bigger picture. Tomorrow I find the correct temperatures for chocolate protein drinking, clear protein chicken soup, and learn to drink 64 oz. of water like a fish.

Hey! I am scheduled for surgery on September 23rd at Virginia Hospital Center. I am excited. Can't wait to start this new chapter of my life.

God i feel like a bloated fish with being on all liquids..i swear you can hear the fluids swishing in my stomach as i walk

How many days have you been on it?

Hi,

My surgery date is September 12th. A little apprehensive. But I am looking forward to being healthier. I already exercise 4 days a week, I walk 3-6 miles. I plan on walking another 1/2 marathon in November. i now I will walk faster if I have lost weight. a little worried about weight loss stalls and what if this doesn't work. My surgeon has a very strict diet for the 8 weeks post op. 2 weeks of clear liquids, 2 weeks of full liquids, 2 weeks of yougurt, baby food meat and protein shakes, then 2 weeks of ground meat, flakey fish. Then I can try other food. It should be interesting. I started this process back in February. I should have had surgery in May but the Drs. office is very slow and has lost my paper work a time a or two.

I am scheduled for September 12th. Getting apprehensive. I want this to work.

Me,too. However, if I go I'm considering going solo. I need to pm the lady who is also going to Tijuana by herself.

Hey! I am scheduled for Sept. 10th with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I am considering going by myself bc I really want to keep this private. I will be there Sept. 9-14th. I might be able to play with my dates. We need to keep in touch if you don't mind.
