new bandsters hoping this works..i felt like i had tried everything too and was really worried i would go through all this to have no success again. I was banded the 5th of july. i have never felt hungry. i am tempted to eat my beloved brownies but, know its not good to eat sweets when protien has to come first. by time i eat my protien im full and no longer want the brownie.. one week post op.. I have lost 10 lbs. it works!!! best of luck.

Hi. I just finally registered tonight after researcing for MANY months. I have been to this sight since Nov. '04 reading and searching for all info.

I am having pre-op on 7-19-05 and banding on 7-27-05.

Would like to be added to list of July Bnadsters.

Dr. Jamie Ponce Dalton, GA.

Will enjoy the journey with ALL bandsters.

Hi Bonnie! Nice to meet you! I've learned lots from reading everything on these boards! Now, I have to admit sometimes I forget what I've read, but these nice people are willing to repeat it, thank goodness! Good luck! Cindy

hello bandster babes

I have my date set for July 27th . I'm so excited. Best wishes to everyone!

My date is the 29th and I am excited and can't wait. I really wish that I had an earlier date. I can't wait.

Do you mind my asking your age? I teach high school kids, and love them...not in a weird way, of course!:alien I just think kids (young adults?) are cool! I guess I'd have to...I've been teaching 27 years, and about to start my 28th!

Hi, I am 84 hours and 12 minutes away (but who's counting).

(July 18th)

Got my band on July 6, 2005. I can't beleive it. Doing good on the liquid diet. One more week and I can go to mushies.

Hello all I am new and will be banded July 22.

TaKiesha

Takiesha, HI! I"m being banded on the exact same day! We'll have to stay in touch and see how each other is doing.

You can learn alot on this board...and the people here are great! (They let me hang out here!)

Good luck, Cindy

For all you guys who are about to be banded this month I want to wish you lots of luck. I am glad I have mine and am on the up side. I have lost about 10 pounds so far. I am not really hungry. When I am a cup of Soup or a Slim Fast Low Carb drink feels me up. I can hardly beleive that. I beleive the drinks cause alot of the gas and not the surgery. I told my hubby I guess I am getting too many Vitamins. My body does not know how to react to that. So keep plenty of gas-x on hand. Also for you ladies remember to buy you a sports bra. I did not think of that until after. The surgery itsel is not that bad. After a couple of days you will feel so much better. I think I feel better because I am not putting all that food into my body. If I can be of any help let me know.

sunshyne banded july 2nd

Thanks for the welcome Mousecrazy. I have not figured out how to start a new thread, help. I wondered if anyone had experienced fingers going numb before surgery, just from being over weight? I have noticed this the last few months it has started. I am 3 days into liquid pre op diet, doing OK.

When you open one of the boards, there will be a button that says "New Thread" up at the top. Click it and start a new conversation. I have been on pre-op for about 3 days, and am almost following it perfectly. Just a coupld of adjustments like I had some fresh tomato with the broccoli and chicken...that shouldn't be too bad of a deal breaker, I wouldn't think.
