Well good Sunday afternoon lady's hope everything is well with you. I am getting more and more excited about our surgery. . I am starting now try to train my self to eat smaller bites of food and sipping water . I have cut out all caffeine to make things easy. Trying out protein shakes as well . Got to start walking more though but it is so hard because I have really bad back issues and my legs to. But I know the good lord will see me thru.

thats on my list of questions the ask the doc at me pre op appt too.

30 days for me . i am so obsessed i still cant sleep unless i take something and then im still dreaming about it and talking to many different people.. watching the first month videos on youtube of anything i can find. i just want it to be here already.

today i made some homemade chicken stock to freeze for when i come home

I am also getting very excited I am one month away as of today. Yesterday was a little stressful my husband and I went out for dinner and a movie. I was getting ready and clothes that fit a few months ago no longer fit. I told my husband that when I gained weight prior to my band the weight came on gradual so even though I was heavy and stressed about it it wasn't as noticeable as it is now. It is so frustrating since I had issues with my band at the beginning of this year and it slipped. my weight has came back on very fast and it is so hard to know that a year ago I was in a size 16 now I am back in a 20/22. I hate the way I feel now and can't wait to start my journey.

Hi all.....wow October is going to be a busy month.

This is a big week for me. I am done with my 6 month pre-op program and all of the tests. So I meet with the Dietitian on Tuesday for her to quiz me on what I have learned and sign me off, then I meet with the surgeon on Friday to sign me off. I think I'm good to go, but until all is said and done I am having huge anxiety!!!! Hopefully I will get my surgery date at that point- still aiming for Oct 21st. Wish me luck. :)

I've gained 8 lbs since 7/12 :o

I think I'm gonna go ahead and buy some protein shakes and substitute a couple of meals a day. Get a head start on getting rid of this extra weight. Anyone here choosing to do a pre op diet without MD requirement? If so, what are you doing? Hope everyone's is doing great! We're almost there!!!

I have support group tonight and I'm going to tell everyone about this forum!! Love it!! Hope everyone had a great Monday!! I should be on a diet but I'm being bad and enjoying food before my life changes!!! Can't help it!!

I'm approved and scheduled for October 23rd! I'm feeling really unprepared.

You will be fine Tilly Kaye lol I am starting to feel the pressure to my surgery is October 7th so I got about 3 more weeks left and then I will be on the losers bench yyyyyaaaaaa. I so cant wait lol ......

I just set my date today! October 15th :D

I had my appointment this morning with the dietician- she gave me my nutritional clearance for surgery. One more appointment with the surgeon on Friday. OOOOOOH SO EXCITED!!! Still hoping for 10/21.

I am scheduled for October 1st. I start the liquid protein pre-op diet on the 17th of Sept. I am not looking forward to that part of it as I have heard that it is the hardest part. I am excited about the surgery and looking forward to getting healthy.
