12/28 is the big day

`Hello fellow December'ers (is that even a word????) I am being banded on Tuesday at 3pm. I have not had any pre surgery dietary restrictions but my surgeon agreed a liquid/mushie diet would be helpful. So I'm trying to be helpful!! I'm nervous. But ready. The thing that is bothering me most right now???? I have my freaking period and I really REALLY don't want to have it in the hospital. But there's nothing I can do about that! Would love to hear from some other December bandsters. Myanna

Yes, 12/28 is my big day also. I'm having open RNY and I'm nervous but in a calm way. I'm excited and just full of wonder for all that this entails. I am expecting the worst while hoping for the best. I am so ready. I've been on a liquid and veggie diet for 10 days and now just liquids. This regime makes me feel quite good, energized. The first 2 days of it sucked but it's great now. I know it's short term, I believe that helps immensely. Peace ~ K

hi myanna, I to am having my surgery on the 28th. I am having RNY Lap and I am very nervous. Tomorrow I am on liquids all day long and between 1 and 2pm I have to drink 8ozs of magnisum citrate to clean out my system. I will be thinking of you and will say a little prayer for you, me and everyone who might be having surgery on that day. We're on our way to become a real big loser. I am so forward to being called a loser, how bout you?
