Getting Closer

Haven't blogged here for a long time...and it has been a long time since I began this journey back in April, but I finally have a surgery date. December 11, 2009. I start the pre-op diet next Friday, the day after Thanksgiving....which will be my last big pigout!

Congratulations on setting a date!

Congrats on setting that date. I started my preop liquid diet this past Sunday and it has not been too bad. I ordered the meal suppliment shake mixes from www.bariatricadvantage.com along with the lap band recommended multi vitamin chewable and then I bought some chewable caltrate + vitamin D tablets as well to supplement not eating and getting the needed nutrients from the food. The strawberry is not very good on the shakes, but chocolate and vanilla are not too bad. Luckily the doctor said I can have one small plate Thanksgiving day, haha. So I will eat a nibble of this and that and back to liquids. I am excited and anxious about my new journey. Hope you do well. .. Jeff
