Congratulations! What wonderful news.

Good luck! You will do great !

I went through the same thing.i found day 3 the hardest. But you can do it and will do it....it gets easier! I had soooo many dreams during pre op diet about eating. I would dream I ate banana bread and realized after I ate it that I wasn't suppose to! Funny what we think of when we dream. Good luck!

I am suppose t keep in touch with them. Likely go for a fill 5th or 6th week. I lost almost 25lbs in my 3weeks! The say now not to weigh myself for a few weeks. I felt the same I just wanted it over.....now all I want is to move around freely and get on solid food! Your two weeks will fly...especially once you are past the first few days. For me day 3 was the worst but then it got easier! Good luck!!

Well first of all I never thought I would survive the 3 week pre op diet....but I am living proof that you can do it!! It wasn't that bad. I don't want to see a celery stick for a very long time! I was banded 3days ago and seem to be doing ok. I mean my stomach is tender and it pulls when I stand up, and I have the gas pain that everyone talks about. Dr.c and his staff were great I was in and out in about 4 hours or so. When is your banding day? Keep me posted ...and of course if you have questions just ask away! Heather

Hey wozzicat! Are you taking the slim time shakes? I was just banded on thursday by Dr.C. I'm pretty sure I went into ketosis. How long are you on preop diet for?

I am in the same position melidawn! I get banded tomorrow morning at 7 am. I was calm and cool until now....and now I am worrying if I am making the right decision. I know I am I just wish I could fast forward through this.

I was there! I was on a 3 week pre op diet. I never thought I could do it either. I can't believe I did....and trust me if I could do it, anyone can! Good luck! Get through the first few days and it definitely gets easier

I am scheduled for my banding on Thursday as well! I am starting to get nervous which I know is normal. I am having a bunch of dreams about eating foods and realizing I wasn't suppose to eat them lol. I am anxious to get through the surgery the suspense is killing me! Good luck to everyone who is about to get their bands too!

I have been on a very restrictive pre band diet as well. I have been making a lot of stir fry as well. Using fat free beef or chicken broth. Or I have boiled veggies into like a soup with the broth. 5 more days until I am banded....I can't wait to move on to the next stage!!! Good luck to you!

Who is doing your surgery?

Mine is also scheduled for jan.24th. i am counting the days!

Thanks everyone I really appreciate the feedback!

Thanks soo much!

Well I must say I too am really enjoying this site as a resource. I am about half way through my pre op diet to be banded in 11 days. I have a question about getting "stuck" what exactly does this mean? And what strategies do people use to get unstuck? Thanks
