Surgery Date March 13th - Lap Band

Hi all! First time here - but i have enjoyed reading everyones messages. Well I will have my surgery in just 8 days and am very excited to get it done. I am on day 6 of liquids and lost 8 1/2 lbs already..... why didnt i do this sooner??? Good luck to everyone!

Hi There! I'll be getting my band in 3 days!!! It looks sureal to see that I started the liquids on Weds - we required one week of liquids - not two..........what are you drinking? I'm on day 5 and I've lost 4 pounds - I'm having 4 boosts a day and all the broth, sf pops, sf jello and caffine free tea I want - I "cheated" and also had a 1/2 cup of sugar free pudding yesterday and today - OMG - sugar free cheesecake pudding is sooooooo good! Do you have to stay overnight for your band or does your doctor do out patient? I have to stay over one night and I'm not looking forward to it at all - I wish I could just come home...........Oh well - whatever it takes!! Best Regards, Tammy Count Down: 2 days! I'm STARVING

Hi Darla!! Congratulations on your 8 1/2 pound weight loss so far. My doctor doesn't require a liquid diet, but on my own I have also lost 8 pounds! I have pre admission next Friday so we'll see if i've lost any more then. It's so fun seeing the number go down isn't it?? hehe Pretty soon that 8 pounds will be 20, then 30 then 40 then 50, etc...... Best of luck to you during your surgery and recovery. Get back here quickly and share your experience! Trish
