Hello everyone. I am new to lapband talk. I am so happy to see an enormous amount of support with "banders":cool2: . I have not had my pre-op teaching day yet. It is scheduled 2 weeks before my band date.

Doing ok, how about you. My pre op diet is South Beach.

good luck !!! i a about to have on june 19.following the clear liquids today and tomorrow. will let you know.

The liquid diet is hard to stick to. I had to have some soup on Wednesday. I want a banana so bad today but my mom won't let me. I am trying hard to stick with it. I went to the hospital today to do my blood work and chest x-rays. My blood pressure was a little elevated but the nurse said that it may be because I am nervous or stressed out. I have lost a total of 24 pounds as of today since I started my pre-op liquids. I am so excited and my mom says she can already see some changes in my body.

My surgery date is June 24th. Let's support one another...........:grouphug:

How is everyone doing? Now a bandster!
