Oh my gosh, how exciting! And so soon... I would feel nervous too..just because it is so soon! You won't regret it. It's the best decision I ever made!

Good luck!

Congrats JadensMomma on your upcoming date! Congrats to the others as well!

I remember that excitement I felt when I got my date. I can't say I felt like throwing up though. I started dancing around the house like a fool.

And guess what? 4 months out.... and still dancing! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

Good luck to you all!

Congratulations on your decision! Mine was done in December, 2007 and everything went fine. The worst part is what you're going through right now with the liquid fast... My doctors and hospital were absolutely wonderful and supportive, and I had zero post-op pain in the hospital thanks to the pain medicine. You won't regret your choice and you'll feel so much healthier for it later on. Just be patient with the band, and follow your doctor's orders. Good Luck!

I started the pre-op diet yesterday, liquids only for three days. It is not fun. I am so hungry, and cranky. Thursday is coming so fast, I cant believe it. Good luck to us all!!!:thumbup:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
