Hi Rhonda just wanted to let you know those shakes are nasty.. LOL I will continue to plug my nose and chug.. Cant wait to see you on December 2nd.... I am so excited about this surgery and at the same time nervous... LOL... Wish I could join a support group but being from up in Mt. Currie and having six kids under 10 makes it a little hard to get away... So I will keep coming back here for support...

Hi Michelle. I'm on the shakes too, starting today. Surgery date is Dec. 2nd. Yours? Just got home from the support group meeting. Attendance was low but met a couple of people who are having success with the band. Just listening to everyone's experiences is interesting. Let's stay in touch!

Hi Michelle :bored:

I actually live in Pemberton. Drop me a private note and if you'd like we can probably plan to meet up for a coffee or something soon.

Congrats on your consult and upcoming surgery...I don't think you'll regret it !!!

So Lyn how are things going.. I have already lost weight on this low calorie liquid diet. Also have lost a lot of energy with it. I am starting to get so excited about this. I keep going on this site and snooping around. I love to read the stories about the 80 to 100 lbs weightloss in a year. I will be working my butt off to be one of these peps. Is your date still the same. Hoping we can meet each other at FCSC on December 2. I am wondering when they will call me to let me know the time of the surgery.. When do you meet with the anestisologist.. I am suppose to me with them on Dec 1. Thinking about getting a hotel room that night.. Anyways hope the liquids are treating you well... I cant wait to be able to have other things like broth and yogurt popsicles and such..

Doing good. Keep telling myself it's just for a little while. My surgery is still Dec. 2nd at 8am so have to be there by 7. They say I should be out of there by noon or 1 pm. I haven't met with the anesthesiologist yet, probably the day of surgery. In the meantime, I'm cleaning out my cupboards and stocking up on what I'll need for the 1st couple of weeks - non citrus juice, Soups, etc. Too bad you couldn't make it to the support group meeting to talk with people in person who've gone through it but good to hear you're doing well with those dee-licious shakes!

Yeah I have a list and will do that on my trip down on dec 1. I am hoping to go to some of the meetings. Depends on my hubby's schedule he works shift work. Might see if I can car pool with Patricia for the next one... My friend will be picking me up after surgery I am praying the weather will be good... She gets nervous driving in the snow...

Hi Yosemite and Michelle,

Will hopefully see you in the recovery room on Wednesday.

Any body from Victoria had or having the surgery? It'd be great to have a support group of some kind here as well.
