DH & I will be getting banded in January. I would love to share this experience with others.:closedeyes:

Hi Everyone!

I am SO glad to have found this thread.

I get banded this coming Monday, January 11th. My surgeon did not require a liquid diet. I was just told to maintain my weight from my last appointment which was Thanksgiving week. Little problem called holiday eating has gotten in the way of me keeping that promise however. But I am eating healthy this week and trying to go into it in as good a shape as possible.

I look forward to checking back in here with you all.

Take care and best of luck everybody!!

Thank you for taking the lead on this.

I'm really not thinking we need to take a poll, since we've had such a good response over.... drum roll please.... wait for it.. wait for it...

Anyone want to create us a sparklely little pretty signature piece? My photoshop crapped out on me and I haven't reinstalled it yet. Today was my last day off before I go for surgery next Wednesday so I doubt I will have time to do it.

I will however go and create us a link under the social groups so we can all check in after we've had our surgeries!!

One week away - I'm scheduled for the 14th. Nervous? No. Anxious? No. Not yet, anyway. I did have moment of anxiousness when doing my pre-admit screening last week, but I'm okay. Doing the pre-op diet and actually doing okay with it. Right now I'm just ready to get past the surgery and start my new life!!!

Love the Jan Band Journeys name and graphic!!

Awesome graphic job!!

Starting day 5 of the pre-diet. 5, that means I'm half way through it! who-hoo. I have to work today and hope I don't go brain dead like I did Wednesday. I'm thinking I didn't have enough protein and that just really worked problems with my brain function.

Hope everyone has a great day! It's snowing here so hopefully it won't be a full day at work.
