Hi all! I'm also scheduled for April 29th with Dr. Curry in Cincinnati, OH. I'm so excited! I have been on my pre-op diet (Medifast) since Monday and have lost 9 pounds in 5 days! I always lose quick the first week - the test will be to see if it continues into next week - and of course, beyond!

It's great to have several others banded the same day!

Hi all! I am April 29 also! I was supposed to have a May 13 surgery date but I've lost weight so quickly on the pre-op diet that my surgeon is letting me go two weeks early. Very exciting! Good luck to all of us!

DaisyMay I have been on the 2 week pre-op diet also, found day 5 and 6 to be tough. Trying to stay positive. Even made myself a list on why I want the band. It helped. Next week is our new birthday. April 29th. Good Luck to you !!! maria

Maria, I found day 5 and 6 to be very tough too. It was better today. I think it might have more to do with my being home and bored, plus sleeping later than during the week, which threw my eating schedule off. It does seem a bit better today, although the thought of 8 more days isn't too appealing.......:tongue_smilie:

Maria - actually I guess it was my day 6 and 7 that were rough (Sat & Sun) but day 8 WAS better. I completely believe it has to do with being home on the weekend and messing with my schedule plus dealing with boredom and head hunger.

Don't get me wrong, I am still really wanting some real food, but as long as I stay busy I'm okay. And I know I'll make it through. Thanks for the encouragement! We can ALL do this!

So far the liquid diet hasn't been as bad as I was expecting. I had a board meeting tonight at a Mexican Resturant. I drank my Atkins shake on the way to the meeting. When the waiter took my order I told him it would probably be the strangest request he ever had, but could I just have the broth from the taco Soup and have it strained. He brought me a bowl of clear broth that tasted great, plus it was one of the cheapest meals I have ever had. : )

We can do it, just one more week till our "Band Day".

I'm supposed to start the liquid diet on Friday. I'm starting tomorrow (Thurs) big whoop, one day, but I cant' stand myself anymore. I'm so ready for this journey to start. I've been talking about it constantly with close friends and family (not telling most people), and now it's time to stop talking and start doing something!

Less than a week until our band day, TODAY is the first day of the rest of my life.:redface:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
