My surgery is set for January 4. I am on day 9 of the pre op diet. Today is probably the hardest day. I know Im not getting enough Water, where I work is so cold I have a hard time getting it down. I keep telling myself its worth it and there is not that much more to go...but still having a really hard day. ;)

Hello fellow JanBand's......

I have mine scheduled for January 26, 2010 and wish I could get it done today.....;)

I think this is going to be a great, lifelong, healthy tool... I think the first six months are going to be both the most exciting and the most difficult and the greatest rewards...

New eating, new weightloss, and then...........new clothes:):laugh:

I am shooting for about 70-80 pounds of loss....I plan to visit this site often the first year.... just because this is so new....

I go to my dietician appoint on January 8th.. my birthday, the big 40....

I know I am ready for this because I don't care about eating less.. I care that I can't get it done sooner.. like everyone.. lifelong battle that I want to conquer:):w00t:

I look forward to seeing everyone here....

Jennifer

Oh my goodness I started the pre-op liquid diet today and I'm fighting some serious head hunger someone just made popcorn here at work and I can smell it! I hope once I get in a good routine that this will get a little easier. I never realized all the things that triggered me to eat. Smell, boredom, being tired. I'm going to succeed and follow this diet to a T. Is anyone else on thier pre-op diet struggling?

My surgery date is Jan. 12 -- can I get an amen (lol). My doc does not require any pre-surgery diet except perhaps the day or night before surgery. Don't yet know what he requires after. Whatever he says, I'm in. Yes I'll be scared (hey, it's surgery) but I am so ready to do this. Would love, love, love to hear from any and all of you so we can fight the good fight together! One question I have is...many peeps seem to say that they had no restriction until they got their fills, which means you're just white knucking it after surgery until you get restriction? I did read one person who said she felt a loss of appetite right away. Any thoughts, knowledge, funny stories gratefully read...

I hope I get that loss of appetite too.. that is my demon as well.. not "what" I eat.. just "how much".....

I think starting before you get banded is the way to go.. I am doing it as of RIGHT NOW because I am getting motivated by this website... I want to lose ten pounds before my Jan 26 banding and that will just be less that I lose after... my goal by June 1, 2010 is 198....I think it is doable... I want to run my marathon again too..

I ran the marine corps marathon two years ago and a few others and a half.. but the Lupus and athritis has literally stopped me in my tracks... I know that this will help me get back on track.. I am hoping to do a half marathon when the weight is off.. right now.. hurts to run....

I think this will be a great place to keep the motivation...

Hi Jennifer - I have rheumatoid arthritis so your post really caught my eye. I take prednisone daily which I'm guessing will make it harder to lose weight. Plus my ability to exercise is very limited. Once my lap band incisions heals, I can do Water exercise, but that's it. I take lots of other drugs for my RA, too. Plus I take immunosuppressants which means I will heal more slowly and can get an infection more easily. Big fun! I am totally determined to do this and to do the very best I can no matter what. Just wondered if we have any of this in common. I never ran a marathon but I did used to be a dancer...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
