Oh my gosh, I thought I would never get to post my surgery date. But finally!!!! Two weeks from now I finally get banded. Oh, I'm so excited (and scared and nervous). I cleaned out my cabinets today (because I'll be on vacation for a week before the surgery).

I have to dust off my books from class. I don't know what to pack the cabinets and fridge with.

Congratulations! A new year and a new you. How exciting! Don't be nervous, it's not a difficult surgery to go through and the recovery is easy. Most people just complain about gas pain which can be minimized with some gentle walking and gas-x. Don't worry, be happy! Do be ready to be patient though, a lifestyle change doesn't come easily and losing 1-2 pounds a week can seem sooo slow. It's a good rate though and it mounts up! Your band will keep you from backsliding and binging and by next New Years Eve, you'll be in a little black dress!

Good luck on your journey!

I get banded on the 27th. I'm sooooo nervous and scared too!!! I had to undergo some extra medial tests... and then all of a sudden all the test came back OK. I just the call about being banded this past Friday. I just was expecting it all to happen so fast. I sorta had my mind set on being disappointed and have to wait til Jan or Feb. Surprise Surprise and a Very Merry Christmas present!!!! Starting my clear liquid pre-op diet tomorrow. I'm nervous about that too. I just have to wrap my brain around this whole thing ~ quickly!!!.

Good Luck on the 29th!!! I'll be checking to see how you did here on the blog! :-)

I'm sure we're both going to bring in the New Year with JOY and HOPE!!!!

      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.
