I'm six days away from getting banded. I absolutely can't wait. :wub: My surgery date is the 15th. That's going to be my new birthday. The first day of the rest of my life.

I've been on the liquid diet now since the 1st and I've found a lot of new and creative ways to "eat" the shakes. A little tip: If you put ice in them you can trick yourself into thinking you're eating ice cream. :biggrin:

Good luck to anyone that reads this that's getting ready to get banded. And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. I'm on a lot and in the chat rooms. Also you can email me or send me a message. I'd love to hear from you and be friends.

Good luck to all and have a great day.

Yep - Ice helps alot!! I did a 14 day liquid diet and was banded today! I lost 20lbs post op and feel fantastic - surgery went well today and recovery a LOT better than expected!! Some gas pains in my chest and shoulders but walking has relieved a lot of that plus chewable GASX...Good luck and keep up the good work!

i m also on the liquid diet. m going to be banded on the 16th of june. you could also use a drop of peppermint in your choc flavaour shakes it tastes way better.
