Irishflower79 183 Posted October 21, 2013 Called today and got my surgery moved up a week to Nov. 7th!! I wanted it earlier because of Thanksgiving. Not that I plan to indulge' date=' I just didn't wanted more time to adjust to my band before being around family and a huge food spread. I am not planning on telling anyone about the surgery except my husband, who already knows. I go for pulmonary testing this week, and if no issues from that I am good to go! [/quote'] I wish I could get my surgery(nov14) moved up also! The person that submits and schedules is out until Wednesday. I am going to try and get mine moved up also! Same here only a select few know about the surgery everyone else will be under the impression I'm having a hernia repair 2 freedom4emjay and sweets27 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I tell my mom any kind of surgery, she will freak and want to be with me. LOL Keeping it on the down-low and when pressed about what I eat, I will say I am watching what I eat (no lie there!) Good luck to you! 1 sweets27 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KYBrownEyes 67 Posted October 21, 2013 I am only taking off work 2 days, and then will have a weekend...so total of 4 days. I do have the option of working from home if I need to, once I got back. I don't like having it so close to the holidays either but at least we know we will not overdo it this year! 2 Irishflower79 and sweets27 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freedom4emjay 24 Posted October 22, 2013 I am looking for a November 'banding buddy' or buddies. My surgery is Nov.22. I would of liked to do it sooner (dont we all) but my surgon is on vacation. I am not nervious about the surgery. I am scared of losing my best friend-food. I have already come up with a plan for Thanksgiving, and how I am going to avoid going to my family's house. Besides ,my husband, everyone thinks I am having heital hernia surgery. I feel really guilty not telling them what I am doing, but I learned my lesson at the beginning of my journey, when I mentioned I was looking into weigh loss surgery. That is why I am coming here. I do need support. I am noticing that I am doubting my decission. Does anyone feel or have felt this way? 6 smpin1176, onmyway2skinny4me, cjackie391 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irishflower79 183 Posted October 23, 2013 Only a few people know about my surgery the others will think I'm having a hernia repaired but I'm not even saying that until I have my date set in stone! My kids know and my aunt and the doctors and a few friends. 3 freedom4emjay, Bandista and smpin1176 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beerxgirl 18 Posted October 23, 2013 For those of you that have started liquids... What are you doing? I tried it yesterday and drank a ton of Water and 2 Protein Shakes through out the day. The Protein shakes were a little rough. Looking for other reccomendations and what protein shakes have some of you gone with? I bought Body Fortress off Amazon. It has decent reviews and the price was right. Per 'scoop' is 30 grams of protein? Stupid question: can you have too much protein? I don't want it to make me gain weight.
