I will also be getting banded June 30th. I am so excited. I have been trying to get done for a month now, but things keep coming up. Was supposed to get May 30th, but car broke down with severe issues on way to pre-op; just got back yesterday.

I am so ready for this. I am happy to have made it just in time to join the group.

I'm June 30, too...

Cathy, can you show me the way to the 6/30 group too????

Doing preop diet now. 10 days to go! Really looking forward to getting banded.

Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. And the Meal Replacement drink isn't exactly taste good. But I think, I can do it.

Hi everyone who's day is the 30th!!! It's getting so much closer and I'm getting nervous! How are the pre-op diets going? I'm 1 week in tomorrow and I've lost 10 lbs on it. Another week to go!

Happy 6/30, kdlee... Congratulations on your success...

I've been pre-op diet x13 days; down 14 lbs.

Its tough; but I think of the starving children in "x?x?x?x" and I get over it.

I've found that I am hyper sensitive to smell;

and without sugar in my diet, the taste of strawberry unjury mixed with crystal light is waaayyy too much (sweet)... despite the no-sugar in it.

I've struggled to get the right Protein drink and combo down; I've been using flavor extracts to help.

I no longer have the intense headaches, but now have a tough time drinking cold items; my stomach feels seized up; and warm drinks of Water sooths it.... which is opposite of what I had been pre, pre-op.... I've loved ice cold water....not now.

also, I've waken the last two nights in terrible distress/pain.... I guess I'm full of gas/air and feeling as if an elephant is on my chest; it goes on for about 1 hour.... I think this is the productive burp (PB's) that others have mentioned... which I had only anticipated post-surgery...

I thought I saw the "warm glowing light" in the far distance until it was over... and was able to catch my breath...

I have to practice self-talk to get me over the food desires; cut the sound on food commercials, and then close my eyes.

It will be ok, for all of us!

I'm a June 30th gal as well!!! Finished the first week of the pre op diet, ready to gear up for week 2!! I am so ready to be on the other side of this...feels like it's been forever that I've been working towards it - well not really, only 3 months, but still!! Just glad that the day is almost here!!! Looking forward to sharing our stories as we go along!!!
