    I'm getting banded in May also. You are not alone. I felt a little relieved that my SD was so far away. I think I needed the time to prepare myself emotionally because surgery scares me. Although I did think I would get an April SD. My surgeon only does surgeries on certain days of the week.

    Just know I'm here for you if you need to talk or vent. PM me anytime you like :) wishing you the very best

    Hi everyone' date=' my name is Jessica. I'm a newbie when it comes to this. I've been thinking about having this surgery for a long time, and have never seriously looked into it because...I was embarassed, maybe? I've tried any and every diet that one can think of, but nothing seems to work, I'm always hungry, or the weight just doesn't come off. I'm 5'7 and 290lbs. I just got the amazing news that I was approved from my insurance, and my surgery date is May 3rd. I am feeling so excited, and a little nervous too. I have to start my 2-week liquid diet April 19, and I think that is going to be very challenging. But it will be all worth it when I can have this surgery to be a helping hand in getting this weight off.[/quote']

    Congrats! I definitely know the feeling. I'll be banded May 15th and I'm also excited and nervous. Wishing you the very best and hope to see your updates and progress on the LBT forums.

    Hi All

    I'm excited that I got my SD today. Now it's really setting in that this is really going to happen. I was given so much information today even some soap they told me to use the night before and on the day of surgery. Wow! Lots to read tonight, most of it I already know. Just wanted to share my wonderful news. Looking forward to connecting with some May Banders as well as the lovely Banders on LBT.

    I don't know how you drink your Protein shakes but I have learned to vary them up. It makes it so much easier. A scoop of Peanut Butter in the chocolate. I take vanilla and add orange kool aid (unsweetened) for an orange dreamsicle flavor. I also use vanila and put instant coffee and sugar free caramel Syrup (for coffee) in it and make like a mocha. I do strawberry with crystal light lemonade for a strawberry lemonade drink. Also unjury has a chicken Soup Protein drink that's awesome. It doesn't taste like broth but like soup without the noodles. They make a cheese sauce that rocks too. Truthfully' date=' this is just a really hard part of the diet. But stick with it. You'll be great. If you can do it without cheating you'll feel better physically and also mentally that you had the willpower to do it. Just try varying things and remember that this is not forever even though it seems that way![/quote']

    Wow! Very creative ideas :)
