KStar, thank you so much for the well wishes. I am about to drink that vile Fleet soda and am not looking forward to the rest of my day. I have gone thru a great range of emotions the past 2 days, but, I am looking forward to this new journey. Yesterday was my 49th birthday and I said that I wanted to be Fit at Fifty! So, here we go. :clap2:

Shellybeans~

That's funny! My 40th is next July and I have the same milestone goal that you do, to be fit by forty!

Good luck tomorrow! I will be thinking about you!

Shelleybeans, you will do great. Let the emotions go, just remember you are about to take control over your life again. Happy Belated Birthday, next year you will be celebrating in a mini skirt!!!!

Hey Gang,

So I'm on this liquid diet that is very low in calories: 3 shakes per day and salad. I am felt a little light-headed after yoga today. Anybody else feeling lightheaded on the liquid diet?

Anyone else exercising? What kinds of exercise are you doing?

5 day count down to banding!

What kind of liquid is everyone on? I start on them october 4th!

I love this site, it has been so helpful, I have a notebook full of stuff. Things I need before the surgery. Mary

I start liquid diet on the 4th too! My surgeon provides HMR 800 at the preop visit. "Provides" it for $129 for a 2 week supply! lol

My nutritionist gave me one of 5 pre-op liquid diets to follow and she said that I was just as good going for the Slimfast Optima. She mentioned that it was inexpensive, easy to find and portable. So, Target had them on sale last week for $5 a box so I stacked up!

Chrispygal, best wishes tomorrow! What an exciting time. Remember, "Nothing tastes better than thin feels"!:rainbow:

Okay...does anyone know what this *sliming* thing is?

When food get stuck in your pouch, your body makes lots and lots of saliva to try and get it down. If you can't swallow it, you need to spit it out. It's gross.

If we remember to eat the bandster way (chew slowly and take small bites) it shouldn't happen.
