Good morning everyone Today is my surgery day! I can't believe it! I know there is at least one other person getting banded today, but I'm not sure who. Whoever you are, good luck! Anyone have any suggestions of things to bring to the hospital? I've heard Gas-X strips, and a heating pad.. Anything else? <3

Today is my day one of the liquid diet, and it also marks 2 weeks before my surgery! So far I'm doing pretty good, but then again it;s only 10:48am on day 1 lol. Anyone have any good liquid diet tips? Any specific broth people prefer? <3

Congrats!! You're such an inspiration to someone like me, who is only a few days into her liquid diet. Great job!

Congrats!! I'm on Aug 6th too!

It's day 5, and things really are getting easier, thank you guys so much for the support! Yesterday was definitely the worst day so far, with me having to be at work for 16 hours straight (im a nurse) and see my co workers and clients eating. I also had to make dinner for the unit! Rough day, but if i can make it through that day, any other day should be manageable only 10 days to go!!

late afternoon and I am doing pretty good! Getting lots of laundry done and such. I think my stomach is starting to catch on that solid food isn't on it's way any time soon lol

Hello I'm Jonna, and I just got approved for the lap band! My surgery is August 6th (so soon!! AHH!), and I've never had any kind of surgery before. So nervous, but SO excited!! Just a little blurb about myself, I'm a psych nurse at a small census crisis stabilization unit, which I love. I also am musician (classical), have a wonderfully supportive fiance, love to spend time watching anime and reading manga, and love playing video games! Anyone live in massachusetts? <3 Jpop

Oh, i'll have to e-mail him! thanks! And thank you to everyone else who has welcomed me I'm so excited to get to know all of you! <3

Haha, thats awesome!! Congrats! I'm scheduled for the 6th as well! For some reason it seems like it's sooo soon to me!

I also just got approved! My surgery is August 6th, and as someone said earlier, I really never thought this day would come Also, congrats!
