Hello everyone. I've been viewing all the good info.things on this website for a couple of months now. This is my 1'st post, and I'm happy to say it's to say--"MY SURGERY DATE IS SET"; Nov. 19'th. I'll be getting the Realize Band. It's been a loooong "Journey" to get to this point. I'm sure your all saying-'She han't seen nothing yet!!" I am sooooo ready. In 3 days I start my yummy liquid diet for 2 wks. pre-op. I believe I have what I need in the cupboards and frig., and I hope I have what I need in my body and head !!!!   I'll be checking back to see who wants to type to me and give me support & advice-I know your'e out there--I've been reading.Thanks to you in advance.   Cathy Jo

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!! Good luck with the liquid diet too! It's not easy, but it's so worth it!

Hi CAthy.  My surgery date is Nov. 19th too and I'm almost ready..they just changes it from DEc . 3 so I guess i have to start the liquids tomorrow.  Good luck on your surgery.  Eydie

Congrats, guys.  The liquid diet wasnt so bad after the first couple days.  I found that protein was the key.  So, the K 2 O protein water really helped. 

I am now 4 days post op.  Not able to eat much at all.  Sore, but not miserable unless I cough.  I will keep you both in my prayers.  Good luck on your surgery date, and it will be here in no time.  The liquid diet just flew by, and the next thing that I knew, I was in surgery!

Thanks for you reply and to keep my in your prayers. This is my 2'nd day of liquid. Seems to be alright, but not anything I'ld want to do longer than what I have to.   Congradulations on having your surgery out of the way. Good luck and keep in touch to let me know how easy?? it is.!!!!!   Bye for now.  Cathy
