    So... Today was supposed to be my last day to eat BUT I've been having tooth ache. I went to the dentist this morning and he had to retreat a tooth that has had a root canal Needless to say, the pain is horrible and my last eating day has turned into day 1 of liquid diet. The journey has officially started and I feel like shirt without the r. (****)

    Right now it's just treated. I have to go back in 10 days. The pain is constant. But on the good side, right now the shakes taste amazing !

    My surgery is June 26 and I too am nervous! My husband is supportive although there are quite a few who aren't. My husband has loved me at my smallest AND my largest. I'm very sure he won't mind the extra skin. Especially if I'm healthier, happier and more confident. Keep working out and drink LOTS of Water. I've read that those things help with toning skin. And don't rush it! These things take time! Congrats and good luck!!!!

    I work at the hospital where I'm having my procedure. I'm going to tell my doc how miserable I am (lol) and see if he liberalizes it.

    No ma'am. We were told if we were DYING, we could have broth or sugar free Jello.

    I'm June 26! We can be buddies!!! Oh... I have a 2 week diet. Water and EAS protein drinks. That's all... BLAH

    I'm having a "last supper"! I start my liquid diet next Wednesday the 12th. On Sunday the 9th, my friends and family are coming over for a big dinner! I'm saying bye bye to all the over eating and bad food choices. It also gives me a chance to let my family know that my habits WILL BE CHANGING and soliciting their encouragement and prayers. A celebration of the new me!!!

    June 26

    EJRN posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Got my date. June 26. I start my per op diet June 12. I'm so ready and so nervous! I'm think I'm going to go ahead and start working with the trainer so that I can be making good habits. At my hospital, you get discounted access to the physical therapy rehab gym and a trainer is there to help you!! Since I'm an employee, I get this for free!!! I'm excited.

    Hi. My ball is rolling and I'm hoping to band in December. I'm so nervous and getting lots of mixed feed back. How did you prepare for your surgery !?!?! Did you diet or enjoy eating while you still could LOL
  21. EJRN
    Wow 100 pounds that's awesome. The liquid diet is something else I'm worried about. I think I'll start doing one day per week of liquid just to start preparing myself. I want a emotional head start!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

    We do have great insurance. I've had Special K shakes and I like them. My doctor wants us to drink the EAS shakes during the 2 week diet. They make me go potty!! LOL Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

    If BMI is 50 or greater, there's no waiting period. I was thinking about trying shakes and finding what I like/don't like. And learning to chew more. I am super nervous about being put to sleep. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
