bbbanded 70 Posted April 26, 2012 awsome band buddy! haha I've really just learned how to perfect hiding my belly, so far it only works in pictures. That and I wear heels for full body photos, I hold a lot of weight in my thighs, more than I'd like to admit really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do, as for being worried, I'm not in the slightest I've lost 20 lbs on my own, granted it took 3 months. At one point I was concerned I wouldn't lose anything, but after seeing what I could do without the band I'm confident t hat I'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nata8824 1 Posted April 27, 2012 Hello everyone... I have my procedure scheduled for May 1st... I think I've gone through every emotion possible from terrified of failure to being angry that I have to actually do this to become healthier, but now that I'm so close I feel a bit nervous but besides those normal pre any surgery jitters I'm very calm about this... I know that this is the right choice and I know that a year from now I'll be telling myself Thank GOD you did it... so Good Luck everyone and I hope we can all go through this together.

supportRO 2 Posted April 27, 2012 Hello!!! So glad I found this forum! My surgery date is on may 11 and I'm so excited and ready!!! Is anyone following the pre-op diet? I'm wondering if we have to drink 3 packs a day for sure because I usually am full with 2 a day?! Weird but any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caramel*99 10 Posted April 27, 2012 Having surgery on May 11! So excited! Been on the pre-op diet since Monday. Three recommendations: powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Protein shakes (best I've ever had!), Crystal Light Energy grape flavor (awesomeness!), fried tilapia with garlic powder sprinkled on it (takes about 5 mins. to prepare and it's incredibly good and I was never a fish eater). So excited and highly motivated! Omg...the chocolate splendor is soo good!! Tastes jus like chocolate milk and barely any after taste @ all! I will def b ordering the large tub of this!!
