:smile: Got the news today. November 16th is when I will be banded and will finally be able to say I am on my way to a new and healthy me. Hard to imagine that is less then a month away and I know that time will fly. I have my appts set up for the pre-op testing (although not sure what that consist of yet) I am so happy to have found this site. It has been a hugh help.

Hi angieboyd,

I'm November 16th too! We should keep in touch. It would be great to have someone to talk to that's going through the same stage that I am. Good luck!

Thanks !

I am looking forward to the next month actually! I am anxious to see what I have to get at the store. I have been trying some different Protein Shakes. From what I have been told my dr requires three sugar free carnation drinks and two meals under 300 calories and some fresh veggies. I drank one of those today and I was amazed at how sweet it tasted for being sugar free! :smile:

Jen, that would be great if we can keep in touch. I am excited to find someone that has the same day as I do. Where do u live?

Hi Angie,

I am in Plymouth, MN. Getting a little nervous about the pre-op diet. I have 10 days of Clear Liquids only starting Nov. 6th. It sounds more restrictive than other pre-op diets I've heard of. How about you?

Hi Jen,

I haven't found out for sure, but from what I have been told my pre-op diet is not all liquid. I am sure hoping not! I need something in my tummy! It growls really loud. But on a more serious side, if that is what the dr says then I will do it. I go see him on the 25th so then I will know for sure, however I have been told that his is normally three cib drinks a day, two frozen meals under 300 calories and 2 cups of fresh veggies a day.
