October 2009 Surgery Date?

[timmmers 0]

My surgery is set for October 1st!!! I can't believe it's only 12 days away. I have been researching the band for 1.5 years and am confident that this is the right path for me. I have been told to lose 5 pounds 5 days prior to my surgery by drinking AES AdvantEDGE shakes 4 times daily (they are 110 calories each) plus either 1 lean cuisine or 1 cup of veggies. But, like most of you, I'm definitely suffering from "last supper" syndrome. I have been eating SO MUCH food and have even planned the next few days worth of meals to always include my favourites that I will never be able to have again. It's amazing how strong this disease is over us. However, I know I will be successful and am extremely excited to get the band (though SO INSANELY anxious). Good luck to you all, and I look forward to my and our journey.

Tim....you will be able to eat everything you once did in time.....just not in mass quantities! And that's a good thing. A friend of mine had the sleve about a year ago and has lost all his weight. He still eats what he wants but now is more than satisfied with a 1/2 or a 1/4 a hamburger or one small slice of pizza.< /p>

Thanks Danyett. Looks like we have about the same amount of weight to lose. I'm trying not to go crazy with my clock ticking down until the pre-op diet. I'm just so ready to get this weight off. I was thinking this weekend that this will be the last few days that I will ever be this heavy. I bought some clothes with the idea that I won't ever have to buy a size bigger. It's really helped gear me up.

Well I am going crazy :lol:lol.... time is moving too slow for me. I took my before pics (wish I didnt look at them:w00t:) I am ready to never look like this again. :biggrin:

I am purposely not taking my before pictures until Thursday when I start the diet cause I don't want to cry. I alternate between excited and nervous. I've lived this cycle of food as friend and enemy for so long that it will be strange just to view it as just nutrition. I seriously think of food so often that I'm not sure what I'll do with all my free time.....lol.

Thanks for doing this! It's really interesting to see who's getting banded on what day, but also for me to see who are my band-date buddies. thanks!

[Nooshie 0]

Just a quick note to say thanks for doing this...very cool to see who's doing what, when.

Okay, so my date is October 15. I haven't received my packet from the doctor's office that tells me about the two week liquid diet or what I need for the pre-op exam with my primary care...that's on the 8th, so I've got to call them tomorrow.

I can't wait.

Thank you for the list!!! Timmers is right. It is nice to see who will have surgery the same day I have surgery. :-) I am counting the days!

We appreciate you taking the time to do this. It's actually really good to know who we can check in on to see how they are doing. I can't imagine what I would be like if I hadn't found this site. I don't think friends or family can understand what this means for us (unless they had it too). :smile2:
