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...

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!

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.

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.

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....
