Who's getting banded in June

Ok, so I just got home from my nutrition class & GNC. WOW!!! I spent over $100 on supplements & protein powder!!!! I wasn't too shocked, at the initial consultation they told the class that we would spend somewhere around $60 a month on supplements. I just have to also have the protein powder for the next 6-8 weeks.
I was actually glad when they said we need to have the protein drinks too. I was thinking how am I going to survive on broth for the next two weeks pre-op & then 4 weeks post-op??? Thankfully I get to have the protein drinks!
I am so excited!! I am not at all nervous, I don't think I will be either. I have had my tonsils out, 2 C-sections and a hysterectomy. This should be a walk in the park!!! I know I will be sore, but I am thinking positive. It will be a new beginning for the rest of my slim again life!!!

What kind of protein drink did you go for?

My band date is June 11 in Louisville, KY

I am being banded on the 10th and I am like you starting to get a little more nervous as the date gets closer but one thing I do to relax and calm myself is come to this site and read and read and read. I also have been praying and thinking positive thoughts. You will do great. I think it is normal to be nervous.

I'm scheduled for June 4th too! I've lost 15 lbs on the pre-op diet.

hello everyone! I'm new here and I'm scheduled to be banded on June 12th. I feel like everything has gone so fast since my consultation on may 5th, but I couldn't be more excited and I feel so motivated! I have my pre-op appointment this thursday so I'm a bit nervous, especially about the anesthesia, but hopefully it will go well :-D

Best of luck to all of my fellow jazzy junes!

Hi Bella,
I know what you mean, I went to my seminar 4/26, my consult appt on 5/14 and surgery will be Thurs 6/4. During the process it seemed long and tedious but now that it's here it was like Wow! I can't believe it's here already!

I am really getting anxious about my band date. At first I could barely control my excitement. Now I'm going thru tons of different emotions. Everything from excitement, anger (because I have to wait!), sick of being fat and disgusted with myself, to not wanting to go out of the house until this is all over with. I keep telling myself to hang on, just 2 more weeks and I'll have my chance to be a new me. But it seems like it's never going to get here.

I don't guess it helps that my doctor is in the process of adjusting my hormones. That is a roller coaster ride in itself. And my son just graduated from high school and is moving out on Friday, June 6th. I guess it's just a lot going on. I hope I don't have too much resting on the surgery being the "fix all". Does that make any sense?

Thanks for listening!!

I have to start my pre op diet on the 5th of june, 2 litres of soya milk a day and 400mls of fruit juice not looking forward to it! :(

Still its all weight loss! Getting band done on the 12th whoop!

ME ME ME!!! I just got my date today, June 30th. I barely slid into June by the seat of my pants!

I got GNC Pro Performance Whey Isolate 28, chocolate flavor.

I had it this morning. Not all that I had hoped for. I am going to use my magic bullet to blend it with ice next time. I wish they would have had sample packets. I spent $40 on stuff I am not enjoying all that much.

I went to Super Supplements & should have gotten some small sample size packets, but didn't because they are 45 minutes away from me & I had to have something to start with today. However I do have another appt tomorrow & I will stop by there & get some samples. I figure I will be at my Dr. office about once a month or so...... Super Supliments is just down the street from it.

I decided to also finish off the SlimFast low carb drinks I have in my fridge. That should get me through the 2 weeks if I have one I enjoy a day & 2 or 3 of the other stuff.

Wow, you do have a lot going on. I am also on the 17th. I am just plain excited. I started my clear liquid diet today. I am not totally thrilled about it, but it is very much worth it!!! I plan to succeed big time!

You can do it!! I heard that if you take up some hobby or something it helps to keep your mind off all the other stuff & the hunger. I have a lot of painting to do here in my home, so room by room I go.

Let me know how you are doing. I am rooting for you!!!!

I'm June 10th YAHOOO!.

I am getting banded by Dr. Marsden on June 9th in Decatur TX. I'm on Day 2 of the pre-op diet.

Right On, I'm on day 3 o liquid.
