Well just found out that the hospital can't reschedule me for January. My dr. Went to Haiti to work with little kids and won't be back till February. So February 4th it is.

Good luck! I went through my pre op on the 6th, it was a very busy day!

Good luck blueturtle!! I know you will do great!!

Very excited for you and praying for you while your in.!!! Stay safe and dream happy thoughts!!!

I'm so happy that this is working out for everyone!! Really I can't wait to get mine! Blast them for canceling lol. Still hoping for the 21st as my redo date! I see my regular dietitian every two weeks and will be getting weighed then, and at every doc apt. I have to be careful because I get a little obsessed with the scales too, I really hope that doesn't happen again after surgery. :-s I do have a final goal but for some reason I really find it hard to admit. Like because this is the net I can get away with being a smaller weight, when in reality I'm still all fat and gross (. But I plan on being truthful and anyone that tracks my weight loss should be able to tell what I started at. I have confidence that once I get down to my goal I'm going to have the self esteem I need to say lots of things I can't right now!

Welcome to the group!! Are you excited!? Nervous!? You have lots of friends here to help you with stuff! Do you have a pre op diet?

See! Positive attitude is soooo the way to go!

Talked to the hospital yesterday and my reschedule date might be the 21st so fingers crossed. I did go to my regular doc and he said he couldn't find the infection they were talking about when they canceled the operation to begin with but he got me on an antibiotic anyway.

If you go into it with a negative point of view nothing is going to work for you think positive!!! You can do this!!! Have faith this is going to be the last thing you are ever going to have to do to control your weight! Use your tools and stay patient! Fallow the rules and stay calm!!! You can def do this I believe in you!!!

Good luck to all of you getting banded before me!!!

Thank you! I really do hope that your menu planning takes you somewhere fun and exciting today!

Mine got cancelled because they found an infection that has to be taken care of first

They canceled my surgery!!(. Have to reschedule. (

So good to hear from you desertpixie! Glad your ok!! Now it's my turn!!

Thanks for the tips

I haven't gotten told much yet just to be on water from midnight tonight till thursday

!!!!! Good luck!!! I know you will do great!!! do you know anything about your post op diet yet?

When is yours?

I'm going to be a changed woman in t-minus one day 11 hours and 20 minutes!!

I am excited it took me a long time to get to this point now its all happening so fast!

Three hours away from my five hour cab ride to the hospital for my pre op apt. then my operation on Tuesday at 10:30. Kinda nervous :-s

Right on!!!!! Yay!!!! Congrats on the two week countdown! The new you is going to be fantastical!!

Good job! Hope I handle my liquid diet well!

My dr told me to cut my calories down to 1200 a day, walk my tushy off, drink lots of water, no sugars, smaller portions, and I started to drink a protein drink where on two days a week I would have two shakes a day and one meal. At first I felt like I was hungry all the time, but then I started to notice that I wasn't so hungry as tired. I made sure I got in my 7 hours a night and I started feeling really energized! My dr also advised that I quit smoking even though I only smoked 4 cigs a day. My quit day for smoking was 11/03/13. That has been helping me with energy! Hopefully soon it won't be so hard to move around but thankfully it is easier to breath!
