I can't believe it!!!!!! March 25th is the date

[hopeinapril 1]

Good luck everyone who will be banded next week. I know the next few days will be tough. (I cannot seem to get away from the last supper syndrome! I even bought a single size serving of a treat I like to keep me from buying much more! sheesh!)

OK, so March 25th is around the corner. Yesterday I couldn't seem to stop myself from eating!!!! Tonight at midnight I have to stop eating and then for the next 48 hours I am supposed to eat only broth, ice pops, clear soda and Water. YIKES! I know it is for my own good, but I am not looking forward to that! I think Monday will be easier because I will be at work during the day. It seems to be much easier to avoid food when I am busy. Actually, tomorrow I am doing some shopping first thing in the morning. I need to stock up on sugar free ice pops. I have heard that they are a blessing post surgery as well as they help with the sore throat thing.

I am still excited, but cripes I am getting more nervous. I have avoided the post surgical boards and am staying out of the chat room. (The chat rooms seem to attract all the people who are having issues!)

I am also going through the "What the heck am I am doing" phase. I mean to spend $17,500 for this is messing with my head today. I really do want to be healthy........but I guess too much thinking going on today.

Well, I am ready and willing to listen to advice that anyone has.

Hi All - I am being banded on Wednesday March 26, 2008 and an extremely excited! I guess I am one of the lucky ones who doesn't have to do a pre-op diet. Thursday morning when I wake up will be the first day of my new life!

Congrats. RBL, I also did not have to do a pre-op diet but did have to have a bowel clense and 24 hrs of clear liquid. Surgery was a piece of cake (sorry) and home the following day. Good luck to you!

Happy Easter all !! I am scheduled for the 26th and I am starting the Clear Liquids today. I am so excited and thankful that I am working Monday and Tuesday it will keep my mind off of food. I am enjoying some sf Jello right now for my Breakfast. I do wish I could have a cup of coffee it smells so good but I will live

Howdy All & Welcome new folk!

I'm almost 24 hours into this clear liquids thing and it is tough! I am glad that I work tomorrow as it will be easier to keep my mind off my grumbling stomach. I think most of what I am dealing with is "head hunger" but it doesn't really make it any easier. Ah well, only one and 1/2 more days to go!

Hi all, Well, this is day 12 of the pre-op diet, all liquids, and the only good thing I can say about it is I am losing an average of a pound a day. I won't change my stats down below until I come back from Mexico on Thursday, but as of this morning, I am down 60 pounds!! And I will be going where it is warm! We have had a very hard winter here and it snowed a little while ago, not alot, but still-ENOUGH! I am thinking good thoughts for everyone, an dhang in there, if I can do it, you can-it is all a mind game and my mind got tired of hauling around all this extra lard. Happy Easter.

Howdy Everyone!

Well, day 2 of the "clear liquids" phase is much better than day 1. I think my stomach has stopped grumbling. Being at work and staying busy is helping.

So, tomorrow is my big day. I'll report back when I get back on Wednesday.

Good luck everyone!
