Hi everyone!

Hi everyone, congrats to all of you who will be soon past surgery! My surgery for lap band is going to be February 19th....I'm excited and scared. Good luck to everyone!

Hi and Welcome to the February 2005 board! Congratulations on the date. I know what you mean about being both scared and excited. I have gone through so many emotions!!! We're in this together though and will get through it. ((Hugs)) Shelley

Hello, Welcome. My surgery is scheduled for February 23rd. RNY. I too am excited and scared. Wishing you well also. We'll do this together! Cathy

Congratulation- mine is on the 20th! We will be getting healthy together! Well it's off to my pysch eval.... I hope I pass. What a way to find out I really am crazy! PS. I don't plan on telling them my Dog recommended surgery... yeah, that part I should probably keep to myself?

Stacey, you are too funny, my dog has been telling me forever that i need to trim down so we can go running together!! Good luck to everyone this next month. I started my pre-op diet...it's an easy one but it's still hard to deny temptations.

I'm not really on a pre-op diet yet. I had my Nut class yesterday and started the vitamin regiman today and I'm "protein loading", two protein shakes a day in addition to my regular intake. I'll have to do clear liquids plus shakes starting on the 6th. I was hoping for a week before and after banding but he swears by 2 prior & 4 afterwards and then 2 weeks soft foods... I'll be ready to kick someones tail before it's over. I'm recommending a hotel for my hubby so he won't get hurt. Other than that, I'm psyched and excited. It's all moving very fast although I'm sure it'll come to a screatching halt on the 6th!
