Welcome May 2009 Bandsters

Well, I am new to the site and will be banded on May 6th. I also noticed that there are several that will be getting banded in the month of May to.. So, I thought it would be fun to have a thread for us May Bansters.

I think it would be fun to see how we all progress as we each reach our surgery date and our experiances after.

So I will start first..

I am counting down to my days, I have 4 days left. I am on the pre-diet and have lost 12 pounds. I am looking forward to having my band.

So when is your date? tell us all.

*Please post even if you are not a may 2009 bandster we would still love to hear from you and we post our experiances.

See you in Band land soon.

There is already a thread for May 09.

what kind of pre op diet are you on? What did you eat or drink?

Right now just low fat, low calorie, I do my preop on Tuesday and at that time I will be given my next instructions. I am looking at a surgery date of either the 14th or 21st.

I found the may 2009 bandters group just after I posted this thread.. So sorry for duplication.

As for what I am doing on my pre-op diet. My doctor had me to a high protien low carb diet with only 900 to 1000 calories per day.

I do a juice Plus Complete soy protien shake in the morning and for lunch and then I have a small meat Protein and veggies for dinner. I have also been walking and doing Water aerobics every day.

I will see you all on the Mayo banditos group and threads.

happy banding

Mine is May 7th and I am so excited. I have been on the high protein diet preop and I have lost 7.5 pounds in 4 days. I hope it is this easy after.

Good luck to everyone....
