Start of Process

August 23, 2006

Had my consultation with at lap-band clinic on Friday, August 18 and after many questions and concerns were answered, I booked surgery for Sept 14. Becuase my surgery was less than a month away, I had to do pre-op tests the next day. Did blood and ECG tests (chest xray was already done). Started my pre-op diet of yogurt and cottage cheese today. I'm restricted to these two foods for the next three weeks so that my liver shrinks and makes it easier for the docs to operate. I'm glad that there wasn't much time between 1st consultation and pre-op diet becuase I took every opportunity to eat bad foods in those four days knowing that I wasn't going to be able to eat food like that for a long time. I can already tell that this is going to be a long three weeks...but well worth it.:clap2:
