Hi All,

I am so happy that a friend told me about this site! I have been reading it lots but haven't posted yet. I am scheduled to be banded on July 12th. I only need to do one day of a liquid diet pre-op which seems very different than most. I am going to try to do one week though. I have already ordered sample packets from various sites that have been mentioned on here. Unfortunately, I haven't been eating well at all lately. I have put on 10 pounds since I started the process in April. I know its not healthy! My doctor is aware of the weight gain though. I guess I am having my last meals many times over. Ugh! Anyhow, I am very excited about the process and gaining control of myself. I know that the surgery won't cure my eating problems but I am hoping that it will help me put my mind in the right place to make better decisions.

Looking forward to chatting with you all!

How do I get one of those trackers on the bottom of my messages?

Hello, Newbie!

I'm a newbie, too. Just found this site last Friday. I'm waiting for surgery--have been since last July, but ins. made me work with a life coach for a year. That will be up on Aug. 16th and I have an appt. with my surgeon on the 17th. Hope it won't be long after that. Take care, and keep me informed of your progress.
