APPROVED FOR SURGERY! Date is set for Dec 17th... definitely an early Christmas present. However, I am so SO soooo nervous! I probably would have had this surgery 2 years ago had it not been for my nerves. :unsure: My advise to others: I was annoyed when I found out I had to do a 6 month 'supervised diet' once I decided I was ready to get the band, but it REALLY DOES go by so fast. Take the time to learn as MUCH as you can before surgery.

Good luck to all of the December bandsters!

Hi all,

I am chugging along through my preop diet, hungry but OK except this AM, I was really tired and headachy. I had one piece of WW toast and felt better right away.

I agree with those who are nervous about the upcoming surgery.

Nice to see more December bandsters!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I finally have my surgery date! December 15th. It took almost 3 weeks to get the insurance approval. (felt like 3 months!) I am obsessed with reading as many of these posts that I can between now and surgery day... and of course afterward too! Great information on these forums.

I gave up my soda like a month ago, so on thanksgiving I decided to bend one last time before I have surgery and drink some soda and a surprise to me it did not taste that good. Now if it was a fountain soda it may have been better, but I am happy that after a month without it I seem to have lost my taste for it.

I am so anxious, my surgery day is Dec.3. I wish the best of luck to all of you going before me and after me. I feel lucky because my insurance or my Dr. did not put me on any diet just practice on my new eating habits. The only thing that is making me soooooo nervous is being able to wake up after surgery. Oh and it is so cold in Northern California I'm afraid to come down with a cold, so I have stocked up on Vitamin C.< /p>

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
