Hi!

I just had the appt with my surgeon yesterday and already have a surgery date of June 1st!

I am so excited! Not too worried yet, but a little anxious about how long the recovery will take: trying to take the least amount of time off work as possible, since I'm relatively new there.

When is your surgery?

Hello fellow Junesters! My band is being fitted on the 3rd June :biggrin: I am so excited KNOWING that I am going to loose weight but more importantly knowing that I am going to KEEP IT OFF FOR GOOD!!!! :lol: I feel totally liberated. I thought I'd be having a final blast with food in my lead up to my surgery, however quite the opposite has happened, I'm actually eating much less than usual. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am going on holiday next week so it will be interesting to see how I get on. My last time on a plane praying that I don't have to use an extention belt! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hey Guys!!!

I'm getting banded on June 18th. I was originally scheduled for May 14th, but moved it back because I wanted to make sure I had my mind right for the journey ahead. I must admit I've been obsessing, and trying to gain as much knowledge as possible as to what to expect, so i've been reading a lot of blogs, watching a lot of vlogs on youtube, and cruising this site! I kind of wish I kept my original date, but at the same time I'm happy I pushed it back because I feel I'll being going into the surgery knowing full well what MY part in this whole journey will be!

Good luck to all!!

Getting banded on June 14th in Lake Worth, Florida. I get done teaching on June 11th. Can't wait. Looking forwards to being smaller in August when I go back to work. I'm mostly concerned about trying to keep eating the right way once I get used to having the band. I am an obsessive eater. Just eat to eat...

I've got a June 15 date.... I finally think I've decided to actually go through with it, even though I'm scared silly.

I didn't really believe I'd get approved on the first try, so it seem sort of unreal to me still I think. :scared2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
