Looking for June 2011 Bandits!

[Uptwist 0]

I am down for the 16th of June. My B-day is the 4th, I start the pre-op diet on the 2nd. I am not sure what I should feel; happy that I am almost there or sad that I will have to drink my birthday cake.........It's always a good day for change.

Twisting the day away,

Uptwist

Life is nothing, but a twist

Hopefully insurance will approve in time- sent in paperwork for approval Friday- fingers crossed, I will be a June bandster!! But hey I will take July! as long as I get my band! lol

I start my pre-op diet friday, two weeks before surgery, and i am stressing out about it! i keep telling myself that everytime i get hungry im just going to come to this website instead!

My surgery is June29th... So technically I am a June Bandit however I am wondering if I should wait and go with the July Bandits since I am so far out? I am trying to avoid Optifast and am eating raw vegan until sugery. So I am glad to have the month to play with.

Looking for any June 2011 bandits!! My date is June 20th and looking for fellow bandsters to keep me company! I could use support and hopefully I can help support someone else!

I am scheduled for my surgery tomorrow (6-2-11) and I have to admit that the 2 week Pre-op diet is rather stressful, but when I started to feel hungry, I would engulf myself in work or doing things around the house or go for a walk. Takes your mind off of the hunger and I drank lots of Water. I treated myself to a snack everyday for the sake of chewing so that I would not bite somebody in the house (LOL), I now know why supermodels are so angry... THEY'RE HUNGRY!

.. I would buy the crystal light packs that you put in the bottle of Water and put it in the freezer after I mixed it up to get it all slushy and that was my treat on the daily to keep my mouth moving and something about it just gave me a sense of satisfaction since I was chewing.. Try it and good luck.

Hi everyone. I am going to be banded on June 6th. I go today for my anesthesia meeting. I guess the anxiety and fears are starting to percolate their way through my system. A few days ago, I had some really serious doubts about getting this done. I’ve been doing the liquid Protein shake diet now for a couple weeks and have already lost 20 pounds. I figured I could just keep going on my own, but I know that I spent a long time deliberating about this decision, and I know this is the best for me in the long run. Also, I’ve worked very hard, and gone through many flaming hoops to get to this point (even switched surgeons and changed practices during the pre-op-approval time). I wish you all good luck in your procedures, and I just can’t wait to get mine over with. Sunday night is going to be a looooong night!

We have the same surgery date!! (Ok I don't know why that's so exciting but it is ) What kind of pre-op diet will you have to do?

It is exciting! I have no pre-op plan so far, but I go in for my blood work-up on the 14th and I'll have to see what they say then. Good luck to you.
