New Hampshire here! Getting nippy -- had our first real frost last night.

Day six of pre-op diet. Feeling clear and focused. Just got another canister of Protein Powder. The pea Protein is amazing -- 26 grams protein for only 160 calories. Olympian Labs Lean & Healthy from Vitamin Shoppe. It's also less sweet than the other pea protein I've been using (Thorne Mediclear).

Happy weekend everyone!

I recently got approved and surgery is scheduled on November 4th in Chicago! I'd love to talk to and meet others who are getting or have been recently banded. I'm 23 and living in the Chicagoland area. I'd really love to talk to all of you and track our progress together!

Congratulations and good luck.

I have my surgery Nov 22nd, but I have to start my 4 week pre op diet tomorrow and I'm so very nervous, 4 weeks with no food will be very tough. Especially when you are the cook of the house.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. Mine is November 21st. Good Luck!

I am scheduled to meet with my surgeon on Nov. 7th. I was told that this appt. would begin at 7:00 a.m. and will last until approximately 1:00 pm. I have been cleared for surgery and told that I should be scheduled for Nov. 21st. I am so anxious! I began this process in May. I have been reading forums on this site, and have realized that the pre-operative steps before surgery vary greatly. From what I understand, I only have to be on an Opti-Fast liquid diet for one week. I guess I will get all instructions at my visit with the surgeon, but I don't know anyone personally who has had the surgery where I am going so I am not getting any advance information. I have only told a few close friends (and my immediate family) about this at this time. I figure after I have lost weight and people ask questions, then I will tell about it. Until then, I don't want to hear anything negative about my decision. I would love to join this website and hear all about everyone's experiences.

I just started a group for November 2013 Bandsters and invited all of you to join. I have been on Lap Band Talk for quite a while and never wrote a thing but today I want to get the ball rolling because I am going to turn to this forum for support - I have been watching from the sidelines on this site for a while but I am going into the game!

Could I join? Getting banded hopefully on Nov. 21st.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
