Just found out today that my surgery date is going to be February 4th! Totes psyched! Too bad it's such a long wait after my pre-op which was on the 6th of January.

Hi B4Tim and showingmyinside.....hope your surgeries went very well! Let us know how you are doing. I fly out tomorrow and get banded on Wednesday!!!

Good luck! Hope everything goes well!

Good luck Paige! Wednesday is almost here!!!

Good luck on Wednesday!

I had my last 'real food' meal tonight. Tomorrow liquids start for 3 days then surgery on Friday! After 7 days of the low calorie, I lost 8.6lbs so far. I also did week 1/day 1 of Focus T25 tonight with our youngest daughter.

Oh, and I did pre-op bloodwork today too...so it's happening very quickly!!

Congrats on your loss so far and good luck with your surgery on Friday...Mine was moved from Friday to Thursday...really getting excited!

Thanks to all for your well wishes. Now one day post op; I have an upper GI X-ray this morning and should be released by noon. Has beed some pain and soreness but nothing like I was expecting. Wish you could have seen the surgeon's face this morning when I asked if I could have scrambled eggs for breakfast....you could just see him trying to decide if I was serious )

Good luck everyone! Mine is Friday as well! I'm super excited and I've lost 10 pounds already from my pre-op sugar busters diet. I'm very motivated at this point :-)

Awesome!!!!

So I have surgery in the morning and the most HORRIBLE thing so far is the mag citrate that my Dr has us drink the night before to ensure the bowels are empty and won't be in the way. UGH!!!! Good Lord why couldn't it be Miralax! Well, I got about 2 oz left and my lovenox shot to do so back to my stand off...btw flavoring nastiness is still nastiness! :-S

Thank goodness I don't have to drink it.

Congrats everone on their surgery dates! I have my last appointment on Jan 29th and I hope to be a part of the Feb '14 Banders :-) Did anyone have to do a diet prior to getting your band date?

I didn't lol I tried to get on all the food I can .. Fat girl I am now I don't eat anything

Well, showingmyinsides, guess it's you and me tomorrow morning! I am booked for 830. I have sympathy for the cal mag problem...I just tried my liquid version and it's not great!! I am nervous, mainly just want it over and done with. So I will be sending prayers your way as I head off in the morning! Hope we feel well enough to post updates later tomorrow.

Minimom, I did a two week slim fast and low glycemic veggie pre op diet. It was ok after the first couple days...the shakes are really good.

Oops, sorry....it was SweetGeorgiaT who asked that question about the pre op diet....take care, everyone.

So happy for all of you prepping for your surgeries. Mine is next Wednesday, in the Pre-op liquid diet........ I can't wait until this is over and hunger won't be an issue.
