nursesandy 0 Posted May 14, 2010 I'm going to be a June Bandster as well. My banding date is June 4th. I think I'm more nervous about the pre-op diet than anything else. I'm not worried about failing. I can lose weight, I just can't keep it off. I've been off of all sodas for the last two weeks, now if I could just get use to not having anything to drink with my meals, I will have to of my demons beat. I am looking forward to taking this journey with all of you guys and good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallnXAngel 0 Posted May 15, 2010 Just found out this week I'm getting scheduled for June 16th here in Sweden. I'm extremely excited and yet nervous. It's been a big hassel for the last year to get this to happen. So I'm just thrilled the day is finally upon us. A little bummed as June 19th is my 2 year anni with my sambo (cohabitating boyfriend). Don't think wine and a fancy anniversary dinner will be on the agenda for the day this year. lol. But oh well!! I'm thinking of the beautiful outfit I get to wear for family xmas instead. :redface: Good luck to all my fellow bandsters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JenniferInBoston 0 Posted May 16, 2010 Hi Everyone! I am scheduled for surgery on June 2nd at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, MA. I am experiencing a whole array of emotions... excited and nervous that I won't be successful in losing weight. But like someone said before, I'm taking one day at a time. I start my pre-operative diet in a few days so I have been trying out different kinds of Protein Shakes. Has anyone come across any Protein Drinks that taste somewhat decent? Unjury isn't bad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! Good Luck everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KS_sxychoc 0 Posted May 18, 2010 I spoke to my insurance company 2 weeks ago and they said it was approved. The psych and nutrition eval have been completed. I've also been living a low carb lifestyle for two years now. But for whatever reason the insurance hasn't contacted the surgeon yet. I was hoping for a May date, but it's looking like a June date. I have various activities and will be traveling starting in September. If they don't get this done soon, I will have to wait until after Thanksgiving. I really would prefer not to go through all those flights with this additional weight.:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
