Me too!! July 1st in Brussels. Can´t wait to start this new journey. I´ve been doing a fat free diet for the last two weeks, eating fish, raw veggies and fruit etc, slipped up two or three times by eating some bread (my weakness), but I´ve lost 3 kgs.

I cannot weight (excuse the pun) to be able to go shopping and buy clothes that are not in the plus size department. Next year this time, I plan on being able to show my body on a beach and not be the whale.

Good luck everyone! Be strong.

2 more days and our butterflies start taking flight, how exciting! also I noticed alot of people are doing the slimfast thing, that's what I was told to. But they told me slimfast low carb, I couldn't find it in the stores so I had to order it off line, the stores around me just seem to carry reg. slimfast and the optima. I know i'm gonna need more anyone have luck finding it and if so where? :thumbup:

:confused2:What list of things to buy are you referring to?

Hi, I am getting my band on July 22nd.Dr. Curry in Cincinnati is

my doctor.

:smile2:Special to say thanks to San Diago Susan for gathering us all together for support. This forum has made my journey towards my July date so much easier!! It is wonderful to have all your support and not feel alone!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!! LOL, Barb

What is on the preop diet. My surgery will be Aug. 4th.

I am getting banded July 18 with Dr. Emma Patterson! :biggrin2:

For me, its' 3 shakes per day and a light dinner consisting of 3 oz of lean fish, chicken, turkey or other lean source of protein and veggies. That's it.

I wasn't sure I was gonna make it thru the day, but today was my first day and I did great.

I can recommend the EAS shake mix from Shaw's (Albertson's) Grocery Store. They have like 3 times the recommended amount of protein, less sugar and less calories than the one they sell in the surgeons office and they actually taste good.

Just wanted to post an update. I will have part 2 of the psych eval on Wed July 2 (interview). My PCP will have all of my paperwork ready for me tomorrow morning also - more info was needed and he was slow getting - didn't matter since I knew the psych eval wouldn't be done until Wed. Either way we are still looking at a July date. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on when. Wish me luck! I'll keep everyone posted. :thumbs_up:

Good luck to everyone in July. My surgery is the 24th at 10:00 a.m. For all of you being banded next week, Good Luck and let us know how you did. I'm so nervous about the pain after surgery. It's great knowing I have friends here who will follow my journey with me. You all are the best. :thumbs_up:

Thanks Dtobe175ish for making the July list. It made me feel important. I'll be praying for you as you have your surgery.
