Hello to all the fellow Dec. bandsters! This is my 2nd post, whoopee! I'm trying to catch on to how this works. I had to get my 14 year old to add the Merry Loser tag at the bottom, yikes! Somehow I'll figure out how to add Dec. 20th to the list because that's my surgery date!

I'm wondering how you all are feeling as your date gets closer. It seems so real now, I'm scared yet excited. Everything is full speed ahead, yet at times I think I'm getting cold feet! I'm thinking, can I do it........

It's so nice to read your threads and look forward to getting to know you! Best of luck to you all.

Fanny .. .hang in there! I would have been so happy to hear them say "come early". You will be fine and starting your new journey a couple days sooner! Yippie!

Thanks everyone!!!! I am just ending two days on the liquid diet, and I will not lie, it's killin me!!! I have a headache so bad I can't lift my had!!! My doc wants me to use strictly Carnation instant breakfast (sugar free), and nothing else. (Except water in between). I know this is the least I can do for a wonderful new start on health, but I cannot function right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Akakakaxplekxtix. If that's a word, and I just went for my first consult today!

Honestly, the first 3 days are the worst, it will get better, I was on a VLCD diet for 4 weeks pre-op and the first 3 days were HELL. Remember it will give you a head start on surgery - make the op easier for the Dr, make recovery easier for you AND the weight you lose on this diet is gone forever!!!!
