October Surgery Date

[journeygirl28 18]

I all. I'm scheduled for surgery October 11th, 2012 and I'm very nervous.

I was very nerous also. It will be ok. The worst is eating liquids and soft items for a week or two. :0) I had mine on August 20, 2012 and so far I am down 21 lbs. I have a long ways to go but glad to see things coming off. Good luck and keep me posted.

Hi my op date is 9/18 and I am two days into pre op low carb diet. I am a bit nervous as well but have seen a lot of positive threads on here and in my case it could be nervous excitement ? It's been a six month journey so far with lots of appointments and having a surgery date is a big milestone - I will keep in touch - be strong / keep the faith

Just had my surgery on 8/24 and down 15.5 pounds. Best decision I've made. If you can make it through the shakes pre-op, you'll be ready for anything!

Hi @lapbandct7, how are you doing with the pre-surgery liquid diet? I'm suppose to start on the 27th od September. @MrsJROChicago you are an inspiration, I hope I'm able to stay on track once my procedure is done. @Steve Paul Smith how are you doing so far?

Hi journeygirl28, I am fine and now 7 days into the pre op low carb diet, it's hard but..... It's working - I have lost nearly a stone -- I have been going to gym everyday as well as using the sauna -- eating lots of Protein steaks etc and large portions of mixed veg - I am so happy!

Looking forward to next Tuesday now

Hi, your date is only four after mine, had pre surgery checks today - all good to go.

The diet is going ok - I have had a few slips- but I work harder at the gym to counter them- lost nearly a stone since August and total of two since my journey began in march- all the best steve
