Okay tomorrow is Oct 1st. This is going to be my banding month (oct 11). Who else is out there???? What is your Oct date??? This month is going to fly by.

sweepy thats awesome to hear glad you did it and have a real fast recovery ,iam excited and all the rest i guess we all have had that huh well you take care and congrats on your new journey :biggrin:

11th day of my liquid diet. really hadn't gotten lightheaded. these past few days have been bad, i have really been hungry. went out to eat yesterday with my mom and this morning with my sisters and their families. boy, that was hard.

the place we went to this morning didn't have any broth. luckily i brought my Protein shake and two small containers of SF Jello. had to watch the rest of them eat full plates of food. was i ever foaming at the mouth. ha ha

just 2 more days of this. wednesday i get banded.

i am so nervous. i'm not really scared of the surgery, i've had 4 major surgeries. i know this is silly but, i am afraid of being put to sleep.

i love to watch Discovery Health and see all the different surgeries and keep telling myself this is an easy one.

Hi :biggrin: I've been reading threads on this site since Decemeber 2007 and made the decision to get banded. I started my 6 months of Nutrition classes..and finished them August 24th..and got approved for surgery Oct 9th!!! Okay okay...Im rambling.....Im having surgery Oct 24th (Thursday) and freaking out... I'm excited because I believe I'm finally going to become the butterfly I know I am...but scared of complications (slippage). I've been on the liquid diet since the 10th and its killing me !!!

*** you guys have shared sooo much and I want to say THANK YOU !!! *** Its such a personal struggle to make the decision to have surgery...and having people share their personal struggles makes you feel you're not alone :thumbup:

Please keep me in ur prayers!!

***you guys are my heros***

Dish :thumbup:

hi dish

welcome!!

i know what you mean about freaking out! i'm having surgery 1 day before you. my sister said that God won't bring anything to you that he won't see you through. i keep telling myself that! i'm terrified of being put to sleep even though i have had other surgeries.

i think my regular dr. is more excited than i am. he told someone the other day that i was a "hottie" in school. i don't think i will get back to that stage ha ha but i would like to get back down to 100lbs!!

Thanks Gurl :biggrin:

How exciting ur surgery is a day before mine... we soooo need tostay in touch :thumbup: Nothing like being a smashing pumpkin !!! But how are u doing on the Liquid Diet? I'm dying..just the smell of food drives me nuts ...lol :thumbup:

I must admit i think i over did it yesterday. I didnt take any painkillers and went for a walk. I had sat down in the evening then went to bed about 11. As i was walking up the stairs i had a pain in the right hand side and i thought i was going to faint. I went to the loo and was doing my deep breathing . Today i am having a duvet day everything in bedroom i need so staying here and relaxing.
