I just wanted to thank you for setting up the November 2009 Bandsters. It has been such an inspiration to me, my little connection to others with some of the same challenges.

Hi all. Well, I have surgery scheduled for November the 5th with Dr Richard Benavides at the Richardson Surgery Center. My pre-op diet starts on the 30th (no candy for me I guess!). I'm a little nervous and a lot excited! A couple of questions: 1. I'm a big guy. Always have been. Played football in high school and still continue to eat like I did back then (I'm 35). My question: anyone else scared about not being able to eat big meals? I'm nervous I will not be "satisfied" with a small meal and fail. 2. I am finding that I'm eating like crazy right now. Anyone else "chow down" for the couple of weeks prior to the pre-diet and surgery? I keep telling myself that "this will be the last time I get to eat this" - I think I have gained a few pounds this week alone. I hope this is not an indication of how successful I will be after banded! I look forward to posting more...after I am banded!!
