I can't wait!!! :biggrin2: It's almost like counting down to when I had my c-section for my twins! I knew a whole new life was coming and I was so excited. And like my kids, I know this is going to be worth anything I have to deal with for it. I am going to start crossing the days off on the calendar!

Anyone else with a June 9th date? How are you feeling? Are you having to do anything before hand? Is there a special date section where we're able to keep each other motivated?

You will do great! You are absolutely right to see this as starting a new life. Be excited, and stay that way! I was banded on 4/19/08 and did a 7 day pre-diet of 40 - 50 carbs a day, Protein Drinks / liquids and from that week through today have lost 24 lbs. I am happy I did this and would do it again in a heartbeat! Best of luck, follow the rules and you will do great. By the way, who is doing your surgery?

Thank you!!! Dr. John Daly is doing my surgery. I met with him again last week and feel so comfortable with him. There were a ton of people in his waiting room (not happy having to wait) but they all said he was a great dr. and I was in good hands. Always good to get 1st hand opinions!

I am in Valdosta, GA and getting banded on June 9 too. Good luck to everyone! I have been doing sugar busters for the past few weeks... but have only lost a few pounds.

Only 12 days until surgery!

Hey everyone, best wishes on your upcoming surgeries! I will also be banded on the 9th. My pre-op diet is anything as long as its: <30 carbs; <10 grams of fat; and at least 70 grams of Protein per day. Im excited and open to any words of advice.

Take Care!

Hello Everyone,

Dr. Daly is the one that performed the lap-band one me and he is an excellent doctor! I'm glad that I chose Dr. Daly because he's a lot more personable. Dr. Daly was the first doctor in the State of GA to perform the lap-band surgery with one incision. I'm so happy with my results. And as far as the waiting time, yes it can become annoying, but its definitely worth the wait to see Dr. Daly.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
