Thank you to everyone! It makes me feel so good to read all of the comments. I am overwhelmed by all the love and support here. I have read so many of your stories and feel so inspired by all of you. I know I will be successful with my journey and feel great knowing we are all here for the same reason supporting each other. I have a bunch of support from friends and family but I don't know anyone personally who has gone through this and could truly understand! Thanks again!! 6 days until the new banded me!!

I was kidding about the 6 months but I have been married for quite a while and we have 6 kids....a little break is OK...lol

Hello, I have been a member here since 2010 and this is my first post. I am scheduled to be banded January 30th and have been on the pre op diet since Wednesday. I am not on a liquid diet but 1000 calorie low carb diet and other than being tired its going well. I am getting a bit nervous though about the surgery... any words of advice or encouragement?? Thanks!

Thank you. I have been reading so many posts about liquid diets and am nervous my liver will not be OK for surgery because I am eating real food. I completely trust my doctor but can't help thinking something will happen to delay or stop the banding. I am generally a positive person.....just tired and antsy I guess. Thanks again for the encouragement. :-)

My banding is January 30 and I plan to wait at least 6 months...lol (but don't tell my husband)!
