:clap2: I finally got my date, Dec 5th! I am excited and as it nears, nervous. I am afraid that going all liquids is going to drive me crazy next week. I am supposed to start my all liquid on Thanksgiving day but the nursing staff at my MD's office said the day after would be fine, just moderation on Thanksgiving. Any suggestions on how to get through it?

Hi

Congratulations on getting your date - not long to wait - my op is on Dec 3 so know how you feel at the moment.

I'm from Australia so not too sure what your pre-op diet is like. Ours is a Meal Replacement called Optifast - tastes like **** but if the Dr says I have to do it well I just need to suck it up (literally). We are also allowed 2 cups of non-carb veges, so I have a lot of stir fries.

So, how long do you have to be on this diet (sorry we don't have Thanksgiving, so not sure when it is)?

Sewen you and I have the same date...I didn't realize it's 16 days to banding...wow wee....... My pre op is only 7 days ... 6 days liquid and 7th day Clear Liquids only...make sure you get added to the Merry Bandsters December list...There's a couple of us on the 3rd.

Medic - congrats on your new date....
