Fantastic congrats.. I actually can't believe it's happening now. I thought I would put a message up here as I too would like to be apart of a group.

Where are you from?

I'm in Australia. Do you have to do the Pre op diet? Mine is pretty straight forward. All I have it do is stop eating at midnight the night b4. They would prefer that I start to practice smaller portions and I have lots of reading. My surgeons office believe in a thing called the 8 golden rules. Check out this website. http://www.lapbandaustralia.com.au/ And go onto the latest videos.

It's very good. I've been given the DVD but have watched it online. Helps you understand it a lot better.

Your diet looks ok! I've been reading some people's diet on here and they look tough. I think I will slowly cut back my food intake over the next couple of weeks. To make it a little easier for afterwards. I'm sort of wishing the date was here. I want it over and done with so I can stop thinking about it. I'm not scared or anything just impatient I think. Lol.

I've found 2 threads you may want to check out.

December Divas 2012

And

December bandwagon supporters

Both have lots of people. Good luck. You'll be going home on the 17th, probably when I am getting started.

Thanks!! I have seen December bandwagon. I'll check out the other one.

Yes, we are about 16 hours a head of you. I think when I go to the hospital on the 17th here. It will be about 2.30pm 16th there. I'm now wishing the date was here already. Although I was made to fill out a questionnaire which is about 50 pages long. Ugh.. Finally got it done thought it was going to takes weeks to complete. Lol. If that's the worst I shouldn't be complaining.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
