:biggrin:

Okay so I am SO excited!! I have been jumping through insurance hoops since Aug. and I have been approved and surgery is going to be FEB 3RD!!!! I could not be more excited/nervous. I am so excited to start my new life but, I am also so nervous because I have never had surgery!!

I am also suprised that I do not have a pre-diet. I have heard people having like two weeks of liquid diets before surgery. My doctor just wants me to do a low fat, high protein diet.

I hope to hear from some of yall that have surgery the same day as me or in Feb!!

Goodluck to all of yall!! :thumbup:

hi, I'm having lapband surgery on Feb. 3rd as well. I am on that two week optifast diet :thumbup:. Its not THAT bad but I sure wouldn't want to have to be on it any longer than the two weeks. I get to add two cups veggies and clear fluids such as tea or coffee. What kinds of things are you eating for this two weeks?

Congrats on your Feb 3rd band date!!! I do not have to do a pre diet! I just have to do low fat and nothing after midnight on the night before surgery!! Are you starting to get nervous becaue I am!! lol!!

congrats on your surgery date!! i am being banded the day before you, on feb. 2nd.. i am nervous too bcs i have never had surgery either! good luck with everything..

I am also being banded on the 3rd. We can all support each other. I only have to do clear liquids the day before.

Whohoooo.... I too amd being banded on the 3rd.. My diet is low fat/carb high protein diet as well. I''m getting really excited and nervous at the same time. In just 5 days we will be in bandland... whohooo!!!

I didn't think I was going to survive on this optifast stuff, but as time goes on I've found I don't mind it at all. I can't say I've even felt hunger this past two weeks, however, my family ordered Pizza tonight and yipes that was VERY hard to say no to!!!!!

I cannot wait for all of us to be in bandland!! I am so excited but, I have to be honest--my nerves are going EVERYWHERE!! I am soooo scared to be put to sleep lol! Which I know that is a very common fear! I am going to be screaming for that calming medicine in my IV as soon as I get there lol!! Goodluck yall!!

This is neat to have a Feb 3rd Thread - I am on the liquid diet which is more strict then the liquid diet after the surgery. Oh well, I only have a couple more days and the magic starts. I am sure we will be on this site this week after we get home. Would love to know how everyone is feeling - want to compare...

Good Luck to everyone!!!!:thumbup:

WOOHOO! Less that 24hrs to go!

I have to be at the hospital at 6am tomorrow.. I'm not nervous at all.. I really feel this is a good thing and can't wait to start this portion of my life. This is going to be the year of the shrinking me.

Good Luck to all us Feb. 3rd bansters... Tam

Good Luck today Feb 3rd's!! I got banded yesterday and the encouragement was really nice . . . so, take care - and it's not so bad actually, the post op stuff that is. Can't wait to hear how it goes!!

Congrats to all you early Feb:thumbup: hope all is going well I have 22 days to go very excited Make sure to keep everyone posted next couple of days so we know what to expect

OK - I am home and feeling pretty good. Have some soreness and gas pains but I can handle that. I haven't had any pain. Had some sugar Jello for lunch and was told to keep the Clear liquids for a day or two and then start full liquids. Can't wait to have some cream Soup. Sounds wonderful.

How is everyone else doing? Hope you are doing great. Keep us informed.
