First Blog - Pre Op

My surgery is Monday June 28th, 2010. I'm currently on Day 6 of the liquid Pre Op diet.

3 months prior, I met with Dr. Sunil Bhoyrul for the first time. He said he was going to do everything in his power to help me and get me ready for my new life. He wanted me to first lose 40lbs. I pushed really hard, working out 3 days a week, eating healthy-ish meals, smaller portions. May 21st I received the call that I was Approved for the Lap Band. I then had to start the 2 week liquid Pre Op diet.

I knew I could do it, since I already conditioned myself the last 3 months, but I also knew that I would have those hard times. Surprisingly enough, it hasn't been that bad. I'm rarely hungry and I pretty much only drinking chicken broth, protein shakes, and LOTS of water.

My surgery is in 5 days, I'm getting nervous but also excited. I hope everything goes well and I'm not in too much pain.
