Any June Bandsters???

[nursesandy 0]

Well, I must say that I am so excited. I posted earlier about losing 10 pounds since Sunday, but I took my measurements and couldn't be more excited. Neck - 0.5 inches, Arm - 0.25 inches, Thigh - 1.5 inches, Breast - 2.75 inches,:cursing: Waist - 2 inches, Hips - 2 inches for a total of 9 inches lost in 6 days. YIPPEEE, for me. lol

Hey if any of you guys hasn't found it on your own you can go to realizemysuccess.com and find a website set up by the makers of the realize band (Johnson and Johnson). You can log your food diary, record your weight and measurements and a bunch of other features. I really am enjoying using it and it is free.

I just found out yesterday that my surgery is on june 17th. The approval procces was vague and it feels like its all happening so fast! I'm so excited and so scared. Not too worried about the liquid diet...but I'm still smoking(very addicted) and so scared to quit yet scared to be smoking after all I have read about going under anesthesia as a smoker. I had planned to quit afterwards but now I know I have to before hand and its causing 90% of my pre surgey anxiety. liquid diet starts Wednesday...how can I give up eating and smoking at the same time?

I'm on day 3 of my pre-op diet and I must say it is not as bad as I thought it would be, although I am allowed one meal a day as long it has no carbs.

I am being banded on June 9 by Dr. Mindy Lane in Lansing, MI. I am on day 5 of the pre-op liquid diet. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I am so nervous/excited. My doctor has her patients use the New Direction shakes. I recommend the chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. The best part was that during the mandatory 6 week nutrition/educational classes she has you attend you get to try a different flavor every week. It was nice to know what to expect. Good luck to everyone and I can't wait to read all the week 1 stories!

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on the site! I am scheduled for surgery on June 17th (pending approval) with Dr. Kurian at NYU Lagone and I am so anxious and nervous. I start my pre-op diet this Thursday June 3rd and I find myself getting sad over this whole liquid diet situation! I've bought some items already as a trial basis to see what I like and don't like as far as Protein Shakes but I think more of my anxiety is coming from the fact that I feel that I is all happening so fast (not complaining because I've been FAT for way too long now). I'm just a little concerned because I have to start the pre-op diet without actually having insurance approval. My pre-admission testing is also scheduled for the 3rd so I honestly feel that there is a lot going on right now.

I don't really see any reason why my insurance would deny me since I fall under the criteria of morbidly obese but you just never know! Any way I've been trying to mentally prepare myself to start and I am extremely excited to have chosen this procedure as I feel that this as a way for me to take control of my eating habits and weight!

Good luck to all the June Bandsters, much success on your journey and I look forward to reading about your successes.

Hi,

I am getting banded on June 2. However, I am a little confused. The drs' office called and said that they wanted me on all liquids from here til the surgery.. does that mean my Protein Shakes that I have been having or does that mean a clear diet?

thanks for your input.
