My surgery date is January 8, 2014! It's been a long process of 11 months of trying to get approved. Anybody else having the surgery in January? I am terrified of the two weeks of a liquid diet before surgery. I can't get my mind around not eating anything but liquids after surgery too for awhile. If I do that now, I get very sick!

My surgery will take place the last week in January. I'm really struggling with trying not to gain weight between now and then with the holidays approaching it's going to be tough. My mind is starting to think "food funerals" already.

Mine should be toward the middle or end of January. I am scare about the pre op diet, and I've been having the "food funerals" eating everything in site twice...at the beginning it seemed so far away but January is just around the corner and hopefully we will all be ready for the summer with a couple of pounds less. Good Luck to all.

Yeah I went to outback and had their cheese fries one last time. I'm just working out everyday so I don't gain weight.

The lap band most definitely did NOT work for me. I lost 20 lbs over 2 years and it was because my food got caught in my esophagus because the band was incorrectly placed.

omg outback cheese fries with their ranch dressing. I'm literally salivating right now. My surgery is tomorrow and I've been on liquids since Thursday. I wish I would've thought to go to Outback last week!

Ps, my band worked great for 3+ years and then it slipped and I gained 80 of my 124 lbs back. I know a lot of people that have had the band but only a couple that haven't had an issue.... Yet. It should be taken off the market

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
