Any April Banders?

[changedchristy 5]

<p>Who else out there is scheduled to be banded in April? I am scheduled for surgery on 4/11!</p>

I was banded on Thursday April 3rd, 3 days post op and I'm feeling great! I lost 13 lbs. before surgery on the pre op diet. I'm not down anything post surgery but I'm still pretty swollen so hopefully once the swelling goes down I'll see weight loss. I'm so excited to start this journey!

April 25th is my surgery date. I am more anxious than nervous. My first day of only liquids started yesterday and was extremely challenging because I did not feel full.

My dr. didn't make me start a pre-surgical diet because of my bmi so I took the last week and a half to indulge in my Farewell to food Tour. Weighted myself. Went from 203 when I was first contemplating this in Feb to 212 today. Pretty short sighted on my part. The band can't come soon enough for me. 4 days to go!

I'm in at 7 am tomorrow !!! Wooohooooo !!!!xxx

Hey im scheduled for the 16th!

Im on day 4 of mt pre-op diet (10 days to go). . Protein Shakes, Water, broth, diet drinks and 2 cups non strachy veggies a day allowed. Today had been rough for me!

Very Curious, what are other people's pre-op diets like?

My diet is the same. I am 7 days in 7 days to go. Although I have not drink any diet drinks, just in case... But I think I am eating more veggies than allow (though I am skipping a day in between salads just in case... It is pretty much torture...

Yes it is torture! I am consuming liquid constantly just to stay temporarily full. Its annoying! I wish I could eat lean chicken or eggs atleast! !

April 18... That's NEXT FRIDAY. It's been a long road but I'm so crazy excited!

I can't believe that I will be banded on FRIDAY! It still seems like a dream. Tomorrow I have my pre-op appointment to see if I get the green light. I don't think I'll believe it until I get the OK tomorrow. The liquid diet SUCKS. I haven't been perfect on it, and I read a good thread on here where people were realistic with their struggles on it.

During these last 2 weeks, I went from 327 to 3116 on the pre-op. Not too shabby. I would say that I'm nervous for Friday, but it still doesn't feel real. I think it will feel real AFTER my appointment tomorrow with my surgeon. My husband has a terrible flu bug so I'm trying to stay away from him and not get sick.

So im on day 7 now.. its a lil easier today than day 5 lol but I am having more salad veggies than im supposed to so I hope that doesn't affect me too much but I get light headed when I don't! How are you doing?

I am doing ok. I am actually not drinking as much of my Protein shakes as I thought, or at least in the morning. I guess the hunger is more manageable. I do not want to go off the list so much. I went to my pre op yesterday and the nurse told me that the Dr. cancelled a surgery to a guys who refused to do the diet. I did put some jalapenhos in my salad last night (LOL).
