I am looking at mid month , if all goes well :-) Lets keep each other up to date!

Aug 5,tenatively, ordered my 4 week liquid diet, nerveous about that whole thing. start doing that next week 21'st. I hope we can stick with each others progress. I am getting a little nerveous..

August 5th for me!!! Getting excited but also very nervous!

Has anyone found any good "clear liquids" or Protein shakes???? Im having no luck here...

Saw the surgeon for the last time yesterday. I have an August 4th date. Researching it for three years and now ... finally .... I'm getting cold feet ! I've played the yoyo game with other diets way to long. Now if they only made a surgery for exercise and motivation.

What is our name ????

My date is August 1st in Mexico! I am excited but am ready after researching for a year!

i just got a date of 8/21 today!! YEAH!!! i'm so excited. not really even nervous about it yet, just ready to get going!!!

Wow a lot of people going in on the 10th same as me!! whohooo lets keep in touch!

as of right now mine looks like middle to end of august...

I am having mine on August 7th, Had my pre op appointment yesterday, EKG and blood work Monday, then on Tuesday we leave for vacation, get back on the 24th. Start pre op diet on the 25th.

I am also in August. I start my liquid diet tomorrow for 2 weeks straight. I'm sure it will be diffucult but I plan on taking it one day at a time.

I just got approved and scheduled for aug 14th. My dr is only requiring a liquid diet for 24 hours. Everyone else is talking about being on pre op diet for weeks. Is mine weird only being 24hrs?

Jenny, I think that is a great idea---we can help each other thru this. Hey, I read on here that someone was going shopping for what they might need for surgery day and after--can you share that "list"? has anyone ever heard of the GasX strip things you just put on tongue-they dissolve and really help w/the gas after surgery--

Jenny, I've heard the same thing. I posted somewhere that I have a co-worker who had the band done 1/08. She initially lost 50+ lbs, but has gained it all back--she stopped following the "program". I think when I started this, a part of me thought that the band would kinda be "magic" and I wouldn't have to do much. I don't like admitting that, but it's true. NOW, I have had a real change in my attitude-the band really is only a tool. It will not do this for us-we have to do what the dietician and the MD tells us to do--I am sure that the people who are successful are the ones that follow the program-I hope that doesn't sound preachy.

August 5th for me!!! Getting excited but also very nervous!

As I type I am drinking Isopure zero carb grape frost. It had a little weird taste so I added a splash of ocean spray diet cranberry/pomegranate (5 calories a cup). Its great! I am going to drink this a lot I think. I just poured it over ice, put the rest of the bottle in the fridge for later. It comes in a big bottle, 40grams of protein in each. I bought a case of it at GNC. It also comes in Alpine Punch flavor. It totally tastes like Kool Aid..

I also got the Muscle Milk Light individual pre-made drinks (that look like kids juice boxes) at costco. They taste pretty good to me and easy to take to work. Between the two that I what I think I will have during the day while out. I also purchased powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury online because I heard good things about it here. We'll see!

My surgery date is August 14th at 0845 hrs!

My pre surgery class is on the 17th of this month and the pre surgery lab work and ekg is the 10th of august!

Is it me or does it seem like this journey took forever?
