Well I have lost 6lbs on my pre op diet and I am excited YEAH ME!!!! Am really starting to get excited about my banding on the 8th. We can do this!!! Have a Great day everyone!

If I were you I would check with my dr because originally I was scheduled for the 2/27, but because when I got the call about being approved I was not told to do the pre op diet,therefor like you I thought the same and when I went to my pre op appointment I was told differently and they had to reschedule my surgery.

Dickinson, Tx

Where are you located? Dickinson When did/do you get your band? March 8,2013 What do you like/look forward to do(ing) for exercise? walking and not breathing hard after a flight of stairs What's your fave thing to eat? Before my band: Mexican food that I or my mother, aunts make, pizza, hot wings are my favorite, Franks hot sauce on everything Fave music groups/artists/types? a little bit of everything, well not everything I don't listen to classical. What are you looking forward to? being happy with the way I look and not being embarrassed by me, feeling secure about myself. Anything else you want to tell us? I am so excited about having this done!!

You said it best!!

I feel like I came across this post was just for me. Have been having the same problem. Thanks Everyone!

Hope you have a quick recovery.

There is nothing like having support from people that REALLY know what your struggle is and how you really feel. But the support from family and friends is awesome too. Message me anytime you need to talk or just vent. Where are you from?

Hello Cindy I am Jackie that is the same reason I am here, I am scheduled 3-8-13 keep in touch and let me know how it goes WE CAN DO THIS !

Dickinson, Texas I just realized upon better reading that she is Philly. Where are you?

Good Morning all does anyone have suggestions on when is the best time to weigh my self? I have been weighing myself in the morning about 5-10 minutes after waking. Any HELP would be appreciated...

I will be banded on March 8, will be looking for a support group. Am interested in finding one. I live in Dickinson.

We can all use a band buddy to share our highs and lows, I am here if you need some encouragement. My date is 3/8/13, hope to hear from you.

That is the same thing my Dr said to shrink the liver, I have noticed there are serveral different diets, I get to shakes in and a 4 oz dinner with greens, for two weeks.

Maybe we will see each other there keep in touch and maybe we can cheer each other on Lord knows we can all use a band buddy.

Cool what center are you going too?

I am scheduled for March 8, am nervous and excited all at the same time. I am ready for this. Started pre op diet on the 20th and these first few days have been hard but I can feel it getting better even now. Good Luck to you all!!
