don't be nervous, it is a GOOD thing you (WE) are doing. We have had lots of success so far in December, no reason to think it will change! Just think of what next year will hold for us?

18lbs down since 12/03/07. Best Christmas gift I could ever have. This is a beautiful thing!!

Hi everyone I'm back..my surgery went well on Dec 6th..yes I know it's been a while, but was trying to rest as much as I could. How is everyone doing that had surgery on the 6th? How much weight have you lost? Are you HUNGRY?

GoodLuck to everyone being banded today your in my thoughts.

Please add me to the "Merry Losers" list . My date is 12/26/2007

Yeah me!

Ok I am one day post op. I am having killer shoulder pain but other than that doing ok. It's funny I am hungrier now than I was on the two week liquid diet. I actually got to that dieter's high that I had not felt in years. My dieters high is when I am not particulary interested in food and have tons of energy and willpower. During this phase I asked myself if I even needed the band. But I know that does not last and that is when I will need the band! But I am down 14 pounds and am determined to keep going. I look forward to succeeding on the journey! Can't wait to start exercising.:whoo:

Hi there! I have been reading for some time now, but haven't posted much. My surgery date is TOMORROW!!! (Dec. 19th). I am nervous and excited, worried the surgery won't work and sure it will ....all at the same time! I am making myself a little crazy here.

Well, wish me luck. I'll be post-band tomorrow...YEAH! :whoo:

Terrified!!!!!!!- My Surgery is Thursday the 20th and I am scared!!! Reading this has been very helpful though :confused: I have been on straight liquids (no milk) for two weeks with the past couple days super clear liquids (no tomato or Orange juice).. I miss chewing!!! I was told to not even have gum! And I had to take a laxative today to completely clear me out ( that was fun to do at work). Tomorrow is a bunch of antibiotics and Thursday nothing at all- I cannot have anything to drink even post op until Friday morning. They do an xray Fri AM to make sure everything is OK before they let me drink. Sounds like my doc is super strict from what I have been reading but I think I like it that way

Shoegirlia - good luck with your surgery! My doctor didn't formally restrict my food prior to surgery. He wanted me to eat healthy to make sure my liver did not expand. I am on liquid post-op for three weeks.
