I sympathize with you PMS ladies. One of the few good things about getting old is I don't have to deal with that anymore!

I am so happy 4 more days until my surgery and this liquid diet is over. Whoo, by the I lost 14lbs on this liquid diet that's the good thing about it. I wish everyone luck on their joinery to becoming that new you.

That is great you lost 14lbs. Just imagine how much more you will lose once you are banded!!! Congrats! ! I'm getting banded in 2 days

sooooo, one thing I didn't think about when I started the pre-op diet: pms. today is miserable, and I gained a pound, which I think is from bloat, because I def haven't had enough food to gain. hoping these cramps and cravings will go away; those symptoms, plus a rainy day here in VA is making this day no fun, so far.

I agree! The rain here in VA has been the pits this week! I thought we were going to get it again this evening but we didn't. It got so dark so fast! Glad it's over. I have been watching the weather for next week after my surgery and I am thinking some R&R in the sun is coming up!

Hi

Yes. We'll be able to get out and stretch our legs, walk out some GAS, in good weather! That rain was terrible! Where in VA are you located? NOVA? Hampton Roads? Central?

@@chiaapet Congrats!! have you started pre-op yet?

My second submission to insuarance was sent in on April 29th, and a date of May 13 for surgery was given. Just waiting on approval after the 6 month Dr supervised diet.

Getting excited!

Wish me luck, and good luck to all of you soon-to-be-banders! :)

I am in SWVA. I am in the middle of Bristol and Roanoke. About an hour from each one on I-81 in Wytheville.

@@tmposton oh nice! i have a cousin from marion, and my sister went to wise, so i'm kinda familiar with that area!
