Anyone else out there getting banded around that same time??

Hi, Lori... Congratulations on getting your surgery date! I'm getting banded on March 12... very excited, nervous, all that jazz... Let's keep in touch as we prepare to make the biggest change of our lives!

Take care and keep in touch.

Sounds great!!! I'm starting to get nervous as the date draws nearer. I start my liquid diet on Mar.5th

Hey there. I'm scheduled for surgery on the 19th as well. I start the liquid diet on the 5th. I have already stared a semi-liquid diet now. I have a light breakfast with a liquid protein drink. (isopure zero carb) Lunch is a solid meal. and dinner is liquid protein. Good luck to you!!!!

I've heard alot of people talk about the isopure. Did you get it at GNC? What flavors are good?

I'm here too. I think the 19th is my most probable date. There is a possibility that I'll get in on the 12th though.

Stole your signature,sorry. It's just so cute!

You can e-mail me at nurselori73@yahoo.com. I'd be happy to give you my cell phone number so we can keep in touch, if you want.

Hi! I am getting banded on 3-25-08. Lucky for me, my Dr. doesn't require a pre-op diet. I'm dreading the first month after the surgery but I know it's going to worth it all. I have had my doubts but last night a friend come by and took pictures of us --- now I am sure about the surgery. Why did I wait so long.

Just got my date 3/21/08. Haven't had time to process just made decision to band last week. I'm on the FAST TRACK!!

:thumbup:Hello to all,

My surgery date is March 20th. My wife has not scheduled her date yey she is still doing some preliminary test. We went to our first support group meeting last night and got a lot of encourging news. This is my first post to this site but ave been monitering it for over a month now and i have learned a lot from this site. Thanks for all of the insightful information.

I just got my date yesterday, surgery is set for March 17!! Have to start pre-op diet next week! Arg!! But I hope that will get me in the right mind-set for this major life changing event. And to top it off, I start a new job the week after my surgery. I sure hope I'll be up for it.

I've heard alot of people talk about the Isopure. Did you get it at GNC? What flavors are good?

I've just started using/testing out the isopure zero carb flavors. I got them at GNC, but they are $4 a bottle. When I settle on a flavor that I love I will get the 3-5 gallon size of it. So far I like the Icey Orange the best, but the Grape Frost is OK too. I take a few drinks and put in in the freezer until it is slushy... It is a very filling drink, I pretty much sip on it all day, but it is adding another 40 grams of Protein, so it will be worth it in the end.:biggrin:

I am scheduled for March 19, barring any difficulty with insurance approval, like eveyone else I am excited, nervous and can't wait..:biggrin:

I was starting to think that I was the only one who needed to work my way into the liquid diet. I am really surprised to see some of the weight come off already though.

The ISOPURE zero carb that I like best is the pineapple orange banana. It is so yummy! I pretty much like them all so far. Some of them taste like an otter pop. I bought them buy he case and I have a GNV card so the price came down a bit
