I have to have my slimfast lowcarb frozen, it tastes better, like a shake too me. Keep posting. I'm excited. It's alot of members on here who are being Banded on the 19th.

Hey,

Hope everything went well for your pre-op yesterday. Rex got me in and out of there quick. TOMORROW is almost here!!!!! I will try to let you know how it goes since yours is on the 8th. I will keep you in my prayers.:thumbup:

Yes everything went well yesterday. I hope things goes well for you tomorrow. I will being praying for you.

But I have a question for you. Are you from Fayettville area? I spoke to someone yesterday and she was very nice and it same I have a lot in commend with her. I am hoping that was you.

Well I wish you the best for tomorrow and for the rest of us as well. New Year Hotties are might fine in 2009! :thumbup:

I'm hearing people on here only have to do a two day liquid diet. I have to do a two week pre-op liquid diet. They want me lose 10lbs before the surgery so that liver can shrink. Do anyone else have to do the same?:thumbup:

Hey I feel for you. I know what 2 days are doing for me and can only image how it is for you. My doctor only requires 2 days but it is also on each person. I will keep you in mind prayers. How long have you been on your liquid diet? How are you doing on it? :thumbup:

Hi Peanutband,

I started my two week liquid diet yesterday and I'm doing ok so far. I wish I can do the two day liquid diet too. I'm doing the slimfast low-carb drinks and they are not that good. I'm going to try some chicken broth to switch it up. I see my Dr. tmrw, I got my clearance so I think they will be giving me a time to be at the hospital. This is a struggle for me because I cook for my family daily and the temptations are there, but I've done good not tasting the food.

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know to try the "Better Than Bouillon" for your broth, It's the best I've found so far. It's in a jar next to the bouillon cubes.

Yes everything went well yesterday. I hope things goes well for you tomorrow. I will being praying for you.

But I have a question for you. Are you from Fayettville area? I spoke to someone yesterday and she was very nice and it same I have a lot in commend with her. I am hoping that was you.

Yes, that's me. I was hoping to be getting prepared today but then I had a pipe bust and spent all day with emergency plumbers at the house.:thumbup: Despite everything I'm so excited, can't wait until tomorrow!!

I have my banding on January 29th. Can't wait!

I am ! I can't quite believe it yet...I've fought with the insurance company for 2-yrs to get approval and finally have gotten it.... my date is 1/29 and I can't wait !

I'm going to try that "Better than Bouillion". I've tried the regular chicken broth but has to season it up. I'm going to try the sugar free jello today. Thanks Mamaof3boys! I'll keep you posted

hi

i just found out that i will not be getting banded on jan 22 after all. my insurance requires 6 months instead of 3 months so i have another 3 to go. i will be getting a date in late march so i will getting banded around that time. im a little upset but im getting over it. i will still be checking in on the jan bandsters too see how everyone is doing.
