December 7th for me but I am not so enthusiastic as everyone else. In fact I am quite scared and nervous and a little ancy, anyone else feeling like this?

I'm nervous, sure. But I've worked toward this for so long, now that it's only a few days away, I can't wait. I'm embracing the nerves, because I've read about so many others here who have been through this, I know I'll be fine. I have a great surgeon I like and trust, and I know I'm in good hands. My family and friends are supportive, I've arranged for at least two weeks off work to recover, and I'm absolutely resigned to make this a success. Everything else is just details. ;)

I'll be smiling all the way into the operating room.

Hey everyone! I am new to the boards, but I am getting my band on December 20th!! I am stoked but nervous. I am very much looking forward to finding people from the boards or what not for support! Good luck to everyone else who is waiting or already had them done this past week.

Cheers!

I'm being banded tomorrow and I'm so nervous but I'm also so excited! I skipped out on a Christmas family get together today just so I wouldn't want to eat lol I am very blessed though that I had a surgeon that only made me do a clear liquid diet the day before surgery which is today. So, surgery tomorrow then I start full liquids Tuesday. I'm hoping I can live off of pudding, yogurt, Popsicles, hot cocoa, and Protein Shakes for two weeks! Good luck to those pre and post!! I'm ready to get this over with. I've never had anesthesia or any type of surgery. Like not a broken bone or never had a tooth pulled. That's what I'm mostly afraid of but when my wedding gets here and next Christmas when I look in the mirror it will be all worth it!!

yay for another 12/20 band buddy! i am actually glad my preop diet was 2 weeks so the post op wasn't such a shock to my system. anyone else have a lot of bruising at their incision site? mine looks like i got sucker punched or hit in the gut with a baseball, lol. i have been really good on moving and getting up and around, but i got sick the day of surgery so i am afraid to eat or drink much.

i actually had someone notice the weight loss yesterday! it was awesome! it is all about the litle things.

      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.
