welcome and good luck with your upcoming surgery...keep coming back and let us know how you are doing..............Julie

I will have to let you all know how it goes. I have been reading some much about everything out here. Thanks for the interest in my post...this type of communication can be great, but it also seems like someone words can get very easily missed.

I look forward to future posts!

Beth~

I was just reading and came to your post. What do you mean by "you just don't have many?"

I am just curious and I hope I am not interrupting a conversation.

I am so happy for all of you, you are (group Hug) so inspiring to read how well you are handling all of this. I go in one week 1/31 and am a bit nervous. Have started Protein Drinks, have been off my Diet Coke for over a week, Now am doing the 30 20 30 eating pattern and am only drinking Water "64 oz per day.

Found liquid Vitamin at costco yesterday and am happy since my doctor took me of meds till week after surgery!

I too am scheduled for my surgery on the 31st of Jan. Next week is coming up very fast and I am a bit nervous and overwhelmed. I went to see my Nutritionist today and also saw the Patient Coordinator for my Surgeon there was so much information coming at me that it can be a bit nerve racking. However, I have found that reading through the posts and seeing the success stories helps me to relax.

Well, I will have to check back with you to see how things are going. E-mail me or send me a note on how you are doing...we will be going through this at the same time.

Good luck and chat at you soon.

I was banded by Dr. James Marsden on Monday, January 21st. I feel a lot better but the gas is a killer.

I am new to this form of support and chat. I just thought I would jump in and say hello and add my name to the January 2008 list.

Welcome! I am also scheduled for 1/31/2008, so do keepin touch!

Hello January Bander,

I just returned home from my mini spa vacation in Mexico. My tour guide was Dr. Lopez. My visit was not a piece of cake, but not too bad. I am relaxing at home sipping Jello, and walking, walking, walking,

Hugs to all, Sandy

I'm skating in on the last day of this month. My surgery is scheduled for 8:00am on the 31st.

I am so ready for this, but a big ball of nerves! All the prepping and research for this has my head spinning.

Good luck to everyone here, I look forward to reading about everyone's progress.

Mistahbue, you are so right about food commercials. I have had to change the channel dozens of times.

I am on the clear liquid diet, until 1/28, then get full liquids until I see the doctor on 2/6. I can't believe I would ever get excited about getting skim milk or Protein drinks. I have to admit, it is getting a little tough, but I went back and read a couple of success stories on the lap-band web, it re-enforced that I did the right thing.

The soreness is going away, and I am going to try to walk more tomorrow. I walked a little the last couple of days, but I think the gas would have gone away faster if I had walked 30 min. a day like the Dr. wanted me to. Good luck to everyone getting banded this week.

Any other January bandster feeling HUNGRY? I can't believe how hungry I am and how hard it is to stick to a diet right now. I have my two week checkup in two days. So far I don't feel any restriction. I don't see the need to sip or restrict what I eat I feel like I always do. I hope the usual diet feeling of being hungry all the time goes down when I get my first fill. Someone please tell me this gets easier!!
