I had my band put in on the same day. I have lost 12 pounds as well, but I'm only allowed clear liquids until tomorrow. Then it's two weeks of mashed potatoes, grits, oatmeal and creamy soups. I'm still alittle tender, and these staples are killing me. I can't wait to have them removed on Thursday. I'm VERY gassy and it's driving me crazy, because I'm trying to get it out of me, and it just won't come out! Since I started the prediet on June 1 till today (July 1) I have lost a total of 23 lbs. I can see the bikini in my future!

Hey everyone! I am having surgery on June 25, less than one week away. I am a little nervous about everything. I keep thinking that this thing is going to be in me for the rest of my life! I'm having surgery in SC, where I'm from. I had to pay for it myself because my insurance wouldn't cover it, even though I have state insurance. I have lost about 15 on the pre-op diet, but I was hoping to lose more. I'm already starting to gag drinking those shakes! Any advice would be appreciated! :smile:
