Hi, ya i am ready. i am waiting to get nervous. i think i am a little bit but not too bad. i am on day two of the liquid diet and it sucks big time. how are you doing on it? my surgery is tomorrow at 730 and i have to be there at 530am. how much longer for you until you can eat mushies? someone else that i am talking to on here is having a terrible time reintroducing solids. constantly getting stuck and throwing up. i hope its not like that for us!

well i was kind of hoping to hear from you before my day tomorrow. i gotta be at the hospital at 530 and my surgery is at 730. i am starting to get a little bit nervous. i hope you are doing well...

Hi my surgery date is 2/25 also. What time is your surgery at? I started the liquid diet today. It is ok so far. Just taking it one day at a time. Are you nervous? Are you staying the night?

i went on a trip this weekend that i go on every year and ate and ate and ate lol... i start my liquid diet tomorrow. BOO HOO HOO!!! So not looking forward to it. How are you doing? Whats going on?

well thats cool. i am staying the night regardless. i asked if since my surgery is so damn early if i get restless can i leave and they said absolutely. but my dear mother is insisting that i stay so... i guess i will - why not? i am getting excited yes. so are you taking anything for the gas pains? i notice in your pics that your man and his mom are your support group. what about your fam?

whats up with you? hows it going? i started a high protein diet and am drinking two protein shakes a day as meal replacements on my own just to get used to it. dropped 6.5 pounds in three days. crazy.... how is your recovery going? how was it staying the night? i am set for wednesday morning at 730am and check in at 530am. OMG it is finally happening i cant believe it.

yay i am so excited for you! i am down 6.5 pounds in two days. i am doing these protein shakes from costco for breakfast and lunch and a protein dinner. last night i made chicken breasts and green beans. i was hungry later so i had a spoonful of peanut butter. i am doing this by choice to get a jump start. today i am going to go have sushi for the last time at my favorite restaurant. my man and i are regulars there and have our own chopsticks and everything. boo hoo hoo... 6 more days...

wow so i have felt my stomach growl the past few days. i hate the hungry feeling so i am constantly drinking something or snacking to make it stop. but since i have been doing protein shakes for breakfast and lunch i am feeling it. today was better then yesterday. i guess the skinny people get that feeling all the time . so do you have myspace or facebook?

Yeah i was told that for the first two weeks its liquid and no fruit. But someone i met on here who was banded by the same surgeon said that he told her she can do mushies after 10 days. my man is doing it with me for the first two days.

so monday morning i have my pre op lab testing at 10am and then my surgery is at 730am. i have to be there at 530 to check in. i am the first one of the day. thats good. they said its subject to change if something comes up. YIKES!!!! in exactly one week i will be banded!!!!

Good morning! One more week for me! Three more days of work. I cannot believe it. How's it going for you? Are you starving on the liquid diet? I am soooo nervous to start that.

Wow - one week exactly! Three days left of work. This is getting crazy... Vday was good. My boyfriend and I actually went to San Dimas to this steakhouse we love and then we stayed at an Inn that they have there. We went to Dennys the next morning and came home. It was really good. 18 more days for you!

Did you add fruit right after the surgery also? I ate mostly protein yesterday. I am going to try to do that until the surgery. My boyfriend is going to do a liquid diet with me the two days before the surgery. Pretty cool.

Oh thats great! Must have been an old comment or something. I am getting banded on february 25 so next Wednesday

I have Anthem Blue Cross of California Premier PPO. the 20 copay one.

I fought with HMO since last April. Finally in November I just switched to a PPO at open enrollment. I had been smooth sailing since then. I am getting banded next wednesday. See if you can switch. Lap Band approves most PPOs. Good luck!

yep! its almost here. wow... so crazy

girl you got me pumped! all excited now! i have been kind of in disbelief and dread. now i am excited again! i am so glad it went well for you! i was thinking about you all day! 9 more days in this body!

yes he is very supportive. he likes me the way i am now. he says there is more of me to love. but he is here for me through out the process and he wants to make sure that i know that if it doesnt work out for some reason and i dont lose weight that he is ok with that.

honestly the reason that i dont want vicoden is because i am an addict. yikes i said it. i hope you dont hate me now lol.

dang liquid percocet! thats what they gave me when i had a csection. that stuff is strong. i asked for liquid darvocet because i dont want the vicoden. maybe i will be like you and not need anything. although i am kind of a wuss. that guy is mike my boyfriend.

No I was not asked to lose any weight before hand. I wonder why some people have too? No pre op for me either. I have been drinking some protein shakes though for breakfast. They do not fill me up at all. ugh. I am so nervous for the liquid diet.
