Hello -- I'm am looking for someone who is having surgery on or around Nov. 19th (my surgery date).

I already have someone to help guide my way (my best friend had it about 6 months ago) -- but I thought it would be fun and helpful to talk to someone who is on the exact same schedule is me and see how we progress together!

TRAYRENEE! MY SURGERY IS NOV. 15th!!! I AM SO EXCITED! However...this all liquids business is freaking me out...Just this week I am substituting Protein shakes for Breakfast and dinner and that is tough enough...I can't imagine ALL liquids. Are you already on all liquids? I've read from others on this site that after the first week of all liquids it isn't as that bad, so I guess just getting past that first week of all liquids will be the biggest struggle.

Anyway, it's great to hear from someone who is basically in the same timeline I'm in, because it's just comforting to know someone is going through the same stages at pretty much the same time I am.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Lisa and I'm from California, Bakersfield area, I'm 31 and I'm a teacher, elementary grades, I have a great support network of family and friends, but Lapband is completely new to all of them, so they just cheer me on as best they know how and I love them for it...

Have a great rest of your day and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Trayrenee,

I would love to talk to eachother through this process, i'm getting banded on the 20th of November! I am nervous and excited at the same time.

I'm starting my pre-op diet today....I hope I don't cheat!

Please keep in touch i'd love to compare notes.

Good Luck with your surgery Tray!!!!!!!

Hi Trayrenee...I'll be joining the bandster world on the 19th too! I'd love to buddy up with you. As you do, I have a friend and colleague here at work that was banded a few years ago. She's a wonderful support person....but having someone else who's at the same point would be great!

Hello, I am also getting banded on the 19th. Excited and scared. Started my pre-op diet today. Also go in today for my pre-op appt. We will be on mushies by Thanksgiving. I am hoping I can have some turkey.

Hello,

I'd love to share this journey with someone who is having surgery on the same date as me. I too will be banded on the 19th. Feel free to send me some advise or questions. Are you going through "Last Super" syndrome?

I am also having my surgery on Nov 19. I am a little nervous but just can't wait to start this journey! I went for my pre-op at the hospital today I think all went well. I have to be there at 5:30 am on the 19....not to excited about that!

I have been on a all liquid diet for 10 days now it has been tough but I have managed. I have lost 12 pounds which is good I guess but for only having liquids one would think that number would be a little higher.:Dancing_sorry:

I am on the 19th as well. Don't have my time for the surgery until monday. I am hoping it is not too early. Started my pre-op diet today. 4 medifast a day with a lean cuisine. Had my last supper last night. We ordered pizza. Figured it will probably be the last time I can eat it. I sure am hunry today. Go figure. Us 19er's should start a need thread and keep in touch about our journeys. :Dancing_sorry:
