Well I kind of figured the pre-op class would be a waste of time, but I did learn that I have to drink this stuff the night before to clean me out - oh yippee. The class was mostly geared for gastric bypass patients but occasionally they would say something that was for lapband people. There were only 2 of us out of the 10 in the room having lapband. Man, I hope I"m making the right decision. I really feel that I am.

So far on the liquid protein diet - day 7 today - I"m down to 270 on my scale. Thats down 10 pds since the beginning of March, and 6 since the beginning of the protein diet. Its really not as bad as I thought it would be. I am not hungry, not craving foods, etc. I do miss the enjoyment of foods though - but not that much.

I still haven't figured out what I"m going to do after surgery - Larry's party is the first week post -op - :Banane59: Will cross that bridge when I get there I guess. First things first!

First - pre-op physical tomorrow! Tonight - work on the new room and get stuff ready for the weekend!! Friday - (tomorrow) leave to go camping for the weekend. Home Sunday - get groceries for the week and work on the room some more. I was really hoping we would get the room done before surgery but it doess't look too promising. But I"m not giving up! We have free evenings next week M-W and so hopefully we'll make some progress.

One more week - I can't believe its finally almost here!!
