Great2BThin 5 Posted June 5, 2008 Kristi, I never heard of the lose 5% thing. Good luck!! Different dr. must require different things. However, you should do fine. I had my consultation with my surgeon on May 14, and had my pre op visit yesterday, surgery today, and I am down 12 lbs. since then. I've been on clear liquids for 48 hours that helped some.

I'm on clear liquids and I have not had any problems getting any liquids down. Anyway all is well here so far....... Jimmy, I was banded Monday also. I know just how you feel! lol I have been carrying my belly around with me like I was 9 months preggers! lol I went in to work yesterday for a meeting I couldn't get out of. Stayed 3 hrs and was pretty wiped out. Today I go in for a half day, then tomorrow all day. (at least it will be friday so I can rest for the weekend.) I feel much better today. I just did a bit of weights...upper body, 3# wts (hey I gotta start somewhere...) and I feel good right now. I lost 3 lbs this morning (total of 20 since I started this journey back in October). Every day gets easier. I know we will have bumps in the road but I believe there will be more positive than negative things. Keep posting to let us know how you are doing.:confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerryconner 0 Posted June 6, 2008 Is anybody out there who is a June Bandster, going to have surgery by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana, Mexico? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twinmommie 0 Posted June 6, 2008 I am sooooo excited! I can't wait, but I have to lose 10 more pounds or he won't do the surgery. I know I can do it, but it is sooooo hard!! Especially this week, my hubby has been out of state for the last week and I have the kids all by myself!!! :wink2: When I stress, I eat. But not this week! It has been the biggest struggle of my life, but it will so be worth it!!! Anyone else having any trouble shedding that 5% before surgery, and how did you do it? Kristi I also had to lose 5% of my weight. I had six months to do it and did it in 5. It wasn't easy. My doctor didn't give me any kind of specific diet to follow so I just did a slimfast for Breakfast and lunch and then a lite dinner most days. I did fall of the wagon sometimes but overall I kept to the same routine. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
