Hello to everyone. I got my date. It's May 22nd. I will start my 2 wk liquid diet on May 8th.

I was nervous about getting the green light from the surgeon because of other medical conditions(I have systemic Sarcoidosis and was just through treatment for Thyroid Cancer which spread to Lymph Nodes).

But all went well and I got my date. So excited!!!!:huh2:

Wish every1 good luck!!!

Congrats! I'm the same day as you. I think my liquid diet starts just after yours, but pretty much we're in the same boat!

Hey yall! I am right there with you on May 22nd! I'm excited but of course not looking foward to that liquid diet! lol.

I'm the 22nd too!! I only have to do the liquid diet two days prior, but low fat/low carb two weeks before. However, it's pretty much all liquid for a month after. A girl here in my office is having the surgery as well (May 2) and she had her pre-op visit and nutrition class yesterday. I have been reading all the material they gave her and I'm really ready to go now!

Okay bandsters, only 27 days left until surgery. How is everyone holding up?!? I kind of feel like i'm in that last supper phase, although I haven't been eating TOO much, just craving the BAD food. I leave for Vegas on May 1st to Celebrate (early) my 30th birthday, so that will be my last party weekend so to speak. Come back on the 5th for the nutrition class, start liquid diet on the 8th. UGH! Hope you are all doing great!!

hi all: doing "OKAY" over here... im debating weather to hit up all the restaurants i won't be able to go to for w-h-i-l-e or just stick to my current diet plan(been strong so far).hmmm,:huh2: i've been really good about sticking to my plan; its been three weeks since i've been doing the two slim fast thing with sensible dinners (smart ones).

do have a BIG problem though...any one else finding it difficult to incorporate exercising into your schedules? i mean,i used to go every day,then since xmas i haven't gone and i'm finding it hard to go back into the routine!!!

Hi Kiki! It's good to see you around again -- hope you're feeling all better.

As far as the exercise, I would suggest not trying to jump right back into it.. start slow and pick out a couple of days or maybe 10-15 minutes a day and then build from there. I often find when I try to jump into a routine all the way and with everything, I often bite off more than I can chew (or want to chew, anyway). KWIM? :tt2: You can do it! :wink2:

thanks for the great advice missy, i'll try that for sure today when i go home. i think that's the first thing i'll do; get it out of the way!!! :biggrin:

I feel a little bit like a party crasher! I am having my surgery on May 22nd too!

Is anyone having their surgery in Los Angeles? I have my psychological visit tomorrow - yeah!

My doctor is only having me do three days of liquid diet before the big day!

Looking forward to it with excitement and a little bit of nervousness!

Come on in!!!!:biggrin2: We only have 20 days!!!! WoooHooo!

A co-worker of mine had her surgery this morning and I think she was a bit nervous, too. Everything went fine in surgery and I'm waiting to hear from her husband about how she feels! :thumbup:

Hi Diane! Thanks for the welcome!

Had my psychological visit today and it went well! Yeah! I told her about this great site and she will be telling her future banders about it! So much information to learn and read about.

Next week is the nutritionist.

Is UA University of Alabama or University of Arizona?
