BIG THUMBS UP TO YOU!!!!!! :tongue2: I'm very proud of you for not falling off the bandwagon! Kudos to you for being strong and not giving in... that's gotta be TOUGH, girl- I know I would feel so down too if I was you. Nevertheless, your DAY will be here before you know it! Keep the chin up!

Okay so today's the DAY!!!!!!!!! I leave in half an hour to the hosp to prep me before my surgery at 12:30... I've not been this nervous ever in my life. But I'm also excited for my life to change soon! LOVE YOU guys!!! Thank you all for your support. <3 <3 <3 see y'all on the flip side! :tongue2:

I use low carb slim-fast choco and blend it with 1/2 c of milk (to loosen up the thickness) and some ice and 1 or 2 TB of peanut butter in blender. it's YUMMY! try it sometime this week. :tongue2: I need to buy the protein shake scoop by MaxMuscle- they have 30g of protein, 120 cal, 0 carbs, 0 sugar, 1g fat. they're awesome too. i'm picky about the taste too.

Yay! hope yours went okay! let us know I started my liquid diet today - IT SUCKS!! I had jello for breakfast and chicken broth for lunch... dinner will be the same lol I use low carb slim-fast choco and blend it with 1/2 c of milk and some ice and 1 or 2 TB of peanut butter in blender. it's YUMMY! try it sometime this week. I need to buy the protein shake scoop by MaxMuscle- they have 30g of protein, 120 cal, 0 carbs, 0 sugar, 1g fat. they're awesome too. good luck and take care!!!:tongue2:

welcome aboard!! what pre-op diet do u have to be on? I know the feeling abt being banded around the holidays... it's better to lose those holiday lbs instead of gaining them!!! Good luck on your journey!!!

I got a call today from one of the nurses- they said I had to come in for 2nd blood-work cuz mine was past 60 days. At the same time I'll go in to see the anesthetist too. it's scheduled on the day before my surgery. Will I find out quickly if I'll be clear to go in surgery on the next day? I didn't want to be sucker to show up for surgery just to find I'm not cleared for it? I'm hoping I'll be cleared for Tues! I'm dying!!!! I fell off my pre-op diet today :*( I tried so hard not to... now I'm regretting it. *sigh* tomorrow's a new day...

Yay! congrats!! glad to see it went well! :cursing: Any tips for us?

Hey! welcome aboard, we are glad to have you here! :cursing: I have PCOS as well! It's TOUGH but we are fighters and we will fight it together with this band. It would help alot, i am hoping!!!! I am sick of taking all those meds and having hair on my chin, skin tags, and the stubborn weight. I'm getting banded on Tuesday the 10th, next day after yours! GOOD LUCK :redface:

Heey bandmate! mine's on the 10th as well... :cursing: welcome aboard! we're the November Knockouts! :thumbup: congrats on getting your date. We'll do this together... yeahh!

Yeaaahhh! 6 more days- omg im soooo nervous and excited!!! It's constantly on my mind... many things are running amok in my mind. what if's, etccc. UGH I cant wait to get this done so I can move on and get started with this! :thumbup: wooot!

congratulations on being banded!!! :thumbup: Great to know you're going well :cursing: I've heard of that new procedure, I wish my Dr could do that too! Nice of your husband to get that for you... gonna be very useful. take care of yourself! keep us posted of your recovery!

I'm on the low-carb/high protein diet... It's going okay for me. :drool: I quit sodas 6 months ago.. felt pretty good about that.

I have mine on the 10th as well! we're bandmates :scared2: Good luck with your pre-op diet.. hang in there. It's tough for me but got hang of it after few days. what kind of pre-op diet are you on?

sorry I just read it again, you were weighted at the dr appt. but still 6 lbs! GO YOU!!! I lost 8 lbs too but I felt like i lost 15 because of my clothes, too and my ring fell off my finger... just look at that as a sign that you're getting SKINNY! and have u been exercising too???

I know the feeling!!!But don't be hard on yourself- you've done well with the liquid diet. Can I make a suggestion? Put away your scale!!!! That HELPS me a lot. I wouldn't be obsessed about the weight loss during pre-op dieting. the most impt thing is u will lose alot post surgery then you can take back ur scale. pUtting ur scale away would help u focus on getting back on track and focus on ur surgery preparations. good luck! We're all here rooting for you and you're doing good. 6 lbs is great!!! :laugh: hang in there~ :Yawn:
