Same day Rhonda--good luck dear!!

I'm quite jealous of those of you that don't have two week liver shrinking diets--however, I'm not as hungry as I thought I'd be

I am to be banded on the 14th also! While my doc doesn't require the liver-shrinking diet, he does require you to lose any weight gained from your first appt. with him to your appointment to schedule surgery. In a nutshell, I gained 6 pounded since May! I have to go to the doc's office to weight the day before surgery and I have to be 6 pounds down. I cut back tremendously this past week, but I think I will put myself on a self-imposed liquid diet next week! Good luck to you all!

I am having my surgery on Jan 21.(New Jersey) and I am nervous and excited at the same time. I truly belive I am starting a new life.

I wish everyone success and may we all lose the weight we want.

Tashanichole1271,

Another JAN14Th Congrats ,this is going to be one heck of a ride for all of us best of luck ,and keep us posted . I started my cutting back my food today ,feeling good at the moment but can't promise I'll be a happy camper in a few days (LOL). You've have only gained 6 pounds since May ,dam I wish I could say the same more like 15 since May for me . I just had enough after I looked at some pictures of my birthday party and didn't know who that girl was (low and behold it was me ) . That's when I set my appointment for Sept.28TH,and started taking back my life . Best of luck ,I know you will do GREAT !

I knew you would be fine Rhonda1966! I am too so happy for you and everyone else. This is our time. We are all going to fine and do very well!

My surgery is on the 8th. I will try to keep you posted on my progress.

NEW YEAR HOTTIES we are going to Shine!

Surgery is January 7th. So VERY close. Kind of nervous. And definitely HUNGRY. Have been on 10 day pre-op diet. First 7 days was yogurt, cottage cheese, Protein Shakes and clear fluids. Starting this morning the next 3 days are all just clear fluids. Who thought I could ever miss cottage cheese so much. Anyway, just wanted to say HI. Hope you all have a great experience this month.

Take Care!

My date is coming up quickly. At one point I thought January 20th would never get here but now it's just around the corner.

I am currently finishing week 2 of a liver shrinking diet. I have to be on it for 4 weeks due to my BMI being so high. The pre-op diet is not as hard as I thought it might be. It's just boring. Not enough options for food.

I did lose 12 pounds in my first week though. I will weigh in again tomorrow just to see how this week went.

Good luck to all of you who are getting ready for surgery this week. Please keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer that I get my date on Monday.

Thanks so much. I am excited but scared at the same time. I hope this is not too hard to do.

CarolinaMom, let us know OK?

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm just busting with excitement. They'll have to give me extra anesthesia to keep me from jumping up and down! I have lost 60+ lbs 3 times and always gain it back. This time will be different!! I know I can lose the weight, now I will be able to keep it off and even continue to lose beyond the 60 and maybe even drop 115!!! wow, I'm so excited right now I better go running or something.
