Yes there is a bandster site on HOME page way on down, just for June 2010 bandsters, but it is not on the bandster page. SO if any one knows how to make a bandster page, lets all get on board! Just let us know when and where you made our group!!

I am on day 8 of my pre surgery diet which is 5 Protein Shakes and one Fiber drink a day. My surgery date is June 9th and I can't wait to get it over and done, so I can learn a new way of eating. I am already losing weight slowly, but the problem is always keeping it off. Good luck to all of you and hang in there.

I am scheduled for June 7 and I have no pre-op liquid diet!! I wonder why that is??? I am not complaining....post op liquid diet will be enough for me!!! Good Luck All....

My Dr didn't put me on one either so for the next week I am taking it easy and going to to stay on a partial liquid diet so at least by next week I am use to it.

Good Luck to you!!!:rolleyes:

You will do great. The first two days are very hard... but stick through it. The 3-4 day will be easier and by then youre almost there. I am on a 2 week liquid diet. Today is day 6 for me. I am super excited to know that I am halfway through. Keep a positive mind. :rolleyes:

Good Luck tomorrow!! Hope all goes well.. my banding is on the 7th, so let me know how it goes!!

Hello everyone!

First post… Been lurking for almost a year here. I'm getting banded June 14th with D. Curry in Cincinnati. I'm on day two of my pre-op diet (Medifast) and so far so good... BUT, I wonder what day 4 will feel like. :confused:

Good luck to all of you who are preceeding me!!!

Hi! I am new to the site and getting my band 6/10. I am almost halfway through my preop diet. It hasn't been as bad as I thought, but I am trying to keep very busy so I don't have much time to think about it. Hardest part is getting down 64oz Fluid a day. Anyway, good luck to all you other June bandsters - looking forward to sharing stories.:confused:

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...

Colletta... I'm a June 14th Bandster too! We should all try and keep in touch..... ! Are you on a pre op diet? I'm doing fine with mine. Maybe we should do a thread for June 14 people? what do you think?

      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.
