Hi, thank you for your support.

And definitely will keep you posted on here how it goes.

I am all ready for my new life style

And glad for this tool that helps with Portion Control as this is the biggest problem for all people wanting to lose weight

I am getting banded on the 16th! Like I mentioned in a previous my post, my Doctor/Surgeon does not require a pre-op diet, but after seeing how many that do- I have created my own liquid-only diet!! I figure it will only help- maybe shed a few extra pounds and hopefully make post op a little easier!! Getting excited and nervous at the same time!! 9 more days!!!

Finally January is here!! I'm new to the site and just wanted to wish everyone good luck with the surgeries and if anyone needs a surgery buddy I will love one

Hey, Lynner, glad you are feeling better each day. Do you have a lot of gas pains? What is your post-op diet and how are you dealing with it?

I am also getting banded on January 23rd. I have my 3 hour appt. tomorrow to meet with psychologist, nutritionist, and Dr. I am getting so nervous the closer we get. I am trying not to let my nerves get the best of me. I am more worried about the surgery than anything else. I wish it were here already!

Chrissy-Chris - we have the same date! I start my pre-op diet on Wednesday. Are you required to do a pre-op diet?

[Chrissy-Chris 51]

Yes, I have a pre-op diet and will find out more about it tomorrow. I know it will include Protein Shakes and Soups, I believe. Can let you know when I know.
