      I'm being banded May 5th. Tequila counts as a clear liquid right? Kidding!

    Being nervous is natural. I know I am and I am counting down the days until I go to the hospital for this surgery. Recovery is hard but as long as you know you are not alone and use the support system you will do great!!! everyone on the boards have been nice and are a great deal of support!!!

    I have 6 days on my liquid diet, s nd than surgery. Yipee

    That is great, I can't believe May is already here. I still have 12 more days before I have mine. So, still a week and some days to go on my liver shrinking diet. I have started to explore my low carb cooking techniques and made awesome almond pancakes today, which will be my family's new fav food!!! I am going to try my hand at a low carb cake, my son's b-day is the day before I have surgery so I will be doing it for his special day, if its a success then I have another recipe under my belt. Who else has tried any new recipes before surgery coming up??

    Checking in and seeing how everyone is doing. :) Has mine today. I was on the unlucky side with immediate gas shoulder pain. So I'm walking a lot. But otherwise doing well. Drinking liquids and near to no incision or port pain.

    Congrats, still waiting for Thursday to arrive. I hope I do not get the gas pains, I have experienced something similar and it was no joke!
