June line up

[Great2BThin 5]

Wow there sure are a lot of us in June!!! I have lots of company on the 12th!! I wasn't too nervous and it seemed so far off as I had vacation coming up. But I just got home today and it was a cruise. I tried not to over do it too much but must admit I did have some of that last supper mentality. Tomorrow I am going shopping for some of the liquid protien and Protein Bars for samples so I know which ones I like and can stock up on those. Thurs. I have a stress test and can't have any caffeine for 48 hours prior so figure this is a good time to give up the Diet Coke habit. I have my last one planned for Memorial Day!! LOL I am hopeful that after the stress test that my date gets moved to the 5th or 6th (a possibility according to the scheduler) but if not the 12th will be here soon!

Kathystrick, You are still all by yourself on the 18th. The positive point of that is you will have your doc's total undivided attention!

I think that I am less nervious because I have had a variety of surgeries. I am hoping like the others...you go in do what you are there to do and then go home and recover. As in most surgeries the sooner you walk the better. I am looking forward to taking care of myself. I am asking my family to help out and allow me to heal and work on me. They will need to do more of the cooking and shopping for a while. I will be healing and recovering and then I will start exercising.

Lucky Friday June 13th here. CAN'T WAIT!

I start the Protein Shakes June 1st. I am sure it will be gross, but worth it!

I know! What are the chances with over 110 people being banded in one month that I would be the only one with that date? :thumbup:

I am getting a bit nervous. I have had surgery in the past, but don't think I am actually nervous about the surgery itself. The fear of failure, even with this great tool, is very real to me. I am excited about the thought of actually being my "real" self again, but what if I can't do it? Then all of this will have been for nothing.

Hey Kathy! Its not for nothing. Looks like from your signature, you have lost 10 lbs! Thats not nothing!! Way to go! I am on the liquid diet now and have a whole week of it left. I take it one hour at a time sometimes. Nervous is good. If you weren't, that would be a red flag. Being overconfident, at least for me, usually results in I fall on my a$$!!! Don't let those what-ifs get you down. We are gonna DO this!!:biggrin2:

[Nuali 1]

I'm a little nervous, too. I just want to succeed so badly this time. I know that it is all up to me. I hope I can do it this time and really change.

Just got my date today. You can put me down for June 9th. Guess that will be some birthday present for me!!! My birthday is 6 days later. I can't believe how many are going in June.

[Jillian68 0]

I am June 10th!! Can't wait!

[kathystrick 3]

Hey Kathy! Its not for nothing. Looks like from your signature, you have lost 10 lbs! Thats not nothing!! Way to go! I am on the liquid diet now and have a whole week of it left. I take it one hour at a time sometimes. Nervous is good. If you weren't, that would be a red flag. Being overconfident, at least for me, usually results in I fall on my a$$!!! Don't let those what-ifs get you down. We are gonna DO this!!:biggrin2:

You have done great if you have been sticking to that liquid diet for week already. In a way, I am so glad I didn't have to do full liquid pre-op. But then again, I think in a way it would be easier knowing I couldn't have ANY solids than trying to limit the solids I do eat. You are right -we can be as successful as we want to be. This will not be like anything we have done to lose weight before. SUCCESS is the ONLY option!!! Thanks for your pep talk!

[elvisfan1219 0]

I had to be on Protein Shakes for 4 weeks pre-op. I'm using Optifast and it actually tastes pretty good, but I'm craving something to crunch!!!
