Well the big day is 1 month from today! Anyone else?

That is so exciting! I have my sleep study tonight and then I have to wait for my surgery date. I finally finish all my test - good luck! I can't wait also just want to start the next chapter in my life. You will do very well!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is definitely exiting news. This month will pass quickly. Good luck on this journey.

I found out Thursday that the 14th is my Band Day, too! Lots of pre -op to do, cardio, pulmonologist, radiologist, and telling my mom.....

Chrissi

I am being banded on the same day. Where are you having yours done- GOOD LUCK!

Hi there! I am new to this board but wanted to say that I am having my surgery on March 14th also!

Woohoo! 3 weeks to go!

I am being banded at Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia. I still have to go on Tuesday for a chest x-ray and 1 more support group meeting. Then the real countdown will begin. I am not required to do a pre-op diet, but have been trying to watch what I eat. I've been eating lot of yogurt & soup, but they don't fill me up too much. That's where the band will come in I guess! Good luck to all of the March 14th banders! Best of luck!

So is everyone getting excited??? I just can't wait to get some of this weight off of me!!!:drool:

I started the required 2 week "protiens and leafy greens" friday,and have lost 4 more lbs as of this morning, Told my parents saturday, (went great) pulmonologist tommorow and pre -op next tuesday and then WOW it. be here before we know it will and yes, i'm excited....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:drool:

OUCH!!! This kinda hurts a little!

finally feeling a little more human today

any one else?

Hi Wisshi,

I can say that I'm not really in too much pain. Still taking my pain meds since I have a whole bottle full, might as well. I am starting to feel a litlle more human too! I felt like my whole world was upside down yesterday but getting better today. I hope your pain gets better! Do you start full liquids tomorrow like me? LOL...never thought I would be looking forward to Slimfast & yogurt so much! Best wishes...

I had 2 sf Popsicles yesterday. Well one broken into 2 pieces...

1 protein shake today and 1/2 sf pudding,

working on some chickenless soup now...i have never been so empty. my insides are SCREAMING at me, not hungry just loud.

I'm saving the pain med for nights...they have been the hardest.

took a walk (well a shuffle)for about 10 minutes and had to rest.

I had a hiatel hernia repaired too.

Not gonna be back on the desk tomorrow!

maybe Tuesday...

I am feeling better every hour and that's a blessing, cuz if i thought i had to stay like i was yesterday...woo boy....i'd had to have some words wit someone. Good Thing I got a LPN as a bFF! She straightened me right out.

march 14er here also. Feeling human today. Friday and Sat. ouch!!!!!!

No more gas, just uncomfortable in the mid-section. Had hernia repair also. Just taking it easy.
