Who else out there is scheduled to be banded in April? I am scheduled for surgery on 4/11!

April 25th is my surgery date. I am more anxious than nervous. My first day of only liquids started yesterday and was extremely challenging because I did not feel full.

My dr. didn't make me start a pre-surgical diet because of my bmi so I took the last week and a half to indulge in my Farewell to Food Tour. Weighted myself. Went from 203 when I was first contemplating this in Feb to 212 today. Pretty short sighted on my part. The band can't come soon enough for me. 4 days to go!

I'm in at 7 am tomorrow !!! Wooohooooo !!!!xxx

Hey im scheduled for the 16th!

Im on day 4 of mt pre-op diet (10 days to go). . Protein shakes, water, broth, diet drinks and 2 cups non strachy veggies a day allowed. Today had been rough for me!

Very Curious, what are other people's pre-op diets like?

My diet is the same. I am 7 days in 7 days to go. Although I have not drink any diet drinks, just in case... But I think I am eating more veggies than allow (though I am skipping a day in between salads just in case... It is pretty much torture...

Yes it is torture! I am consuming liquid constantly just to stay temporarily full. Its annoying! I wish I could eat lean chicken or eggs atleast! !

Congratulations on your surgery. How are you doing?

April 18... That's NEXT FRIDAY. It's been a long road but I'm so crazy excited!

I can't believe that I will be banded on FRIDAY! It still seems like a dream. Tomorrow I have my pre-op appointment to see if I get the green light. I don't think I'll believe it until I get the OK tomorrow. The liquid diet SUCKS. I haven't been perfect on it, and I read a good thread on here where people were realistic with their struggles on it.

During these last 2 weeks, I went from 327 to 3116 on the pre-op. Not too shabby. I would say that I'm nervous for Friday, but it still doesn't feel real. I think it will feel real AFTER my appointment tomorrow with my surgeon. My husband has a terrible flu bug so I'm trying to stay away from him and not get sick.

So im on day 7 now.. its a lil easier today than day 5 lol but I am having more salad veggies than im supposed to so I hope that doesn't affect me too much but I get light headed when I don't! How are you doing?

I am doing ok. I am actually not drinking as much of my Protein shakes as I thought, or at least in the morning. I guess the hunger is more manageable. I do not want to go off the list so much. I went to my pre op yesterday and the nurse told me that the Dr. cancelled a surgery to a guys who refused to do the diet. I did put some jalapenhos in my salad last night (LOL).
