Awesome job!!! I've been following your posts. Wow! I have surgery on the 23rd. Down 8 after first week of pre op diet. One more week and very excited. Keep up the great work. Very inspiring!!

Glad I asked. Lol. Thank you!!!

I have question. Did any try freezing your protein shake for after surgery? Would think it may help with swelling. Thoughts?

Good luck!

Good Luck!! Keep us posted on how your doing.

Good luck to everyone today!!! The 23rd for me.

I received my diet yesterday from my nutritionist. I have to say after reading several blogs, my restrictions aren't that bad. I have to be on this diet for the next two weeks. Surgery is May 23rd!!! The diet consists of 4 protein shakes per day. I am also able to have 6-8 servings of the following: 3 Oz chicken or Fish, 2 Egg whites, 1/2 cup of sugar-free Jello, yogurt, chicken broth or 1 cup of vegetables (Carrots, Lettuce, Celery). I was really nervous about just having protein shakes. I am on my way and very excited to start my "New Life". It will be a very hard road, but manageable and well worth it!! Good luck to all of the May banders!!!

Good luck!!! May 23rd for me. Just starting my pre op diet.

Good luck!!!! You can do it!

Thank you for posting your struggles. I start this Thursday. I have been trying to reduce my food intake over the last few days. I can't imagine the liquid diet that is in front of me. One day at a time I guess. I'm ready and extremely excited to start. Glad to hear you survived and on your way to a new life. Again thank you!!!

Pre op with Dr on May 13th, surgery in May 23. I too am worried about pre op diet. Gonna work a lot and keep my mind occupied. I am extremely excited to start my new life!!! Thank god for my sister's support! She was banded 2 years ago. I told her I will calling her every hour. Lol

I have the same concerns. Two daughters both healthy. I have only told my sister who was banded 2 years ago. I don't plan on telling anyone. Just eating less and working out. Hopefully that works! I do feel guilty about my girls and parents. Hope Mom is not mad!

Wow!!!!! You look amazing!

Awesome job!!

Awesome job!!

Great idea to start early. Think I will do the same. May 23 is my band day. Very nervous but soooo ready! My fear is feeling okay after surgery. I pray for a speedy recovery and sad to say a quick return to work. Boy I thought I would never say that. Lol! Good luck to all the May bands!!

Thanks for posting!!! I get my band May 23rd. Diet starts in two weeks I think. One last diet class to go. Scared and excited to start my new life journey! Best of luck to you!
