Hello all! I have an appointment Oct. 20th with my doctor and I will get my surgery date on that day. I was told by the office staff that it should be about two weeks from when I meet with him. Which means I will be a November 2009 Bandster. Anyone else out there yet with a prospective November surgery date? What are you going to do to kill time so you don't get too excited and jump out of your skin like I feel like I might!

How 'bout the future "NOVEMBER KNOCKOUTS"??

:laugh::Yawn:

The Future Slender Novembers?

Doesn't really flow does it? LOL!

I agree, this one's a winner!

Hi there,

Your story is so similar to mine. I had my first child last December too and have considered WLS for awhile. I am going to be banded on November 25th. I look forward to hearing how it goes for you.

Hi all! My date is Nov 12th! I'm starting the pre-op diet on Monday so enjoying my last few treats now, especially since my birthday is just 4 days before my surgery! Had my cake and ice cream today since I won't be eating that for a while! lol So excited!

Just started cleaning out my kitchen. Which is easy since I live alone. I didn't waste much since I haven't gone shopping for a while. Was guilty of living off take out. But, I cleaned out the fridge completely and my cupboard. Its a shame that I'm already tired and need to take a break. Exactly why I need to get this weight off. Gonna clean my apartment from top to bottom this weekend and get rid of clutter. Emotionally, I need this. Day 6 of the pre op diet and still going strong!

LOL I have cleaned out some stuff too... have to be careful since I have 3 others at home who are not having weight issues ;o) challenging!

Hey there November Knockouts!!! I am here to join you!!! I have been jumping through hoops with my insurance and have just decided to say the heck with it and do self pay! I've spent too many years of my life overweight and I'm not going to waste anymore time fighting with my insurance, besides whats a little more debt on the huge mountain I allready have!!!! Anyway I have a surgery date of November 19 in Colorado with Dr. Kirshenbaum and I am sooooo excited! Not looking forward to the flights as most of us overweight people dont. But I'm thinking of this as the last time flying fat!!!!! Good luck to everyone!!!!

How 'bout the future "NOVEMBER KNOCKOUTS"??

Great name!!

Hi, fellow November Bandsters!

Does anyone else have a blog? If so, let's see it! Let's follow each other and be motivators!

Great Idea!! I just started mine on youtube

YouTube - eyezchu22's Channel

Just made something yummy with my limited pre op food options. Besides the protein shakes I can have two cups of non starchy veggies and broth. So I used 1 trader joes concentrated chicken broth packet, 1 cup water and warmed it in a pan. Added 1 cup of frozen artichoke hearts, a little pepper . Cooked until hearts were tender. Yummy! Can add more water and another packet of broth if you like the soup part.

Nov 16th for me folks

I just bought the Montel Williams food emulsifier any one else? You can cream and make vegetable soups that come out hot right from the blender. I thought this would be good to use post op for full liquid and mushy stages. And later to get more vegetables in. Should we not make fruit smoothies I keep hearing no homemade smoothies.

OK I messed up this was for eyezchu22

Very nice video of yourself very young pretty. My B-Day is 11-16-09 Wishing you well, Isn't this exciting wish I had done it about 6 years ago. Any way to our future!!!!!!

Hi, I am having Surgery in the Morning, I have to be at the hospital at 5:15am, the hospital is 35min. away from where I live, I have lost 15lbs. on the pre-op diet, I am kinda proud of my self, I wished I would have did it sooner, becoming a band patient motivated me more, I guess.
