New Hampshire here! Getting nippy -- had our first real frost last night.

Day six of pre-op diet. Feeling clear and focused. Just got another canister of Protein Powder. The pea Protein is amazing -- 26 grams protein for only 160 calories. Olympian Labs Lean & Healthy from Vitamin Shoppe. It's also less sweet than the other pea protein I've been using (Thorne Mediclear).

Happy weekend everyone!

I recently got approved and surgery is scheduled on November 4th in Chicago! I'd love to talk to and meet others who are getting or have been recently banded. I'm 23 and living in the Chicagoland area. I'd really love to talk to all of you and track our progress together!

Congratulations and good luck.

I have my surgery Nov 22nd, but I have to start my 4 week pre op diet tomorrow and I'm so very nervous, 4 weeks with no food will be very tough. Especially when you are the cook of the house.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. Mine is November 21st. Good Luck!

I am scheduled to meet with my surgeon on Nov. 7th. I was told that this appt. would begin at 7:00 a.m. and will last until approximately 1:00 pm. I have been cleared for surgery and told that I should be scheduled for Nov. 21st. I am so anxious! I began this process in May. I have been reading forums on this site, and have realized that the pre-operative steps before surgery vary greatly. From what I understand, I only have to be on an Opti-Fast liquid diet for one week. I guess I will get all instructions at my visit with the surgeon, but I don't know anyone personally who has had the surgery where I am going so I am not getting any advance information. I have only told a few close friends (and my immediate family) about this at this time. I figure after I have lost weight and people ask questions, then I will tell about it. Until then, I don't want to hear anything negative about my decision. I would love to join this website and hear all about everyone's experiences.

I just started a group for November 2013 Bandsters and invited all of you to join. I have been on Lap Band Talk for quite a while and never wrote a thing but today I want to get the ball rolling because I am going to turn to this forum for support - I have been watching from the sidelines on this site for a while but I am going into the game!

Could I join? Getting banded hopefully on Nov. 21st.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
