Pradice73 0 Posted September 28, 2008 To all of you September 29th banders. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I myself am being banded and expect everything to go well. I sit here at work and sip on my Protein shake as I wait to leave and all I can think about is my last burger for a while. I plan on going home and making my burger on the george foreman. I was so tempted to go out last night and have my last chance of wings but once I got out there I made the decision it was not worth it. Who would have thought I would ever turn down wings. Tides are a changing and I am definitely ready... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

audreym 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Hey Patty - I've got my fingers crossed for you and wish you only the best. Dr Detriech did my surgery at UCH on Sep 3d - Both he and the hospital were really nice. The next few days may be hard for you - but it will be soooo worth it!!! Just remember - Walk - Pass gas - burp - and then Walk - Pass gas - and burp some more!!! Please let us know how you are doing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pradice73 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks Audrey, I am sort of looking forward to this and the change that it will make in my life. I know it will take time and I am willing to work at it because I feel like that I am starting on a new journey and not faced with the same failure of always being hungry.

Pradice73 0 Posted September 28, 2008 I have done exactly as the doctor has told me as well. He did not require me to just have liquids. I had a Protein shake for Breakfast, one for lunch and a Protein dinner with green vegetables. I would normally have a piece of beef, chicken or pork with my veggies.

alitt13991 0 Posted September 29, 2008 Hi. This is Alan. Tomorrow is my day for banding as well. I have been on the 10 day liquid diet, and I went from 254 to 240. Pretty excited that I was actually able to make it through the 10 days. Didn't think I had the will-power. Good Luck!! PS: This is my first ever posting to a chat or discussion board ever....
