    Hello! I am trying to figure out this forum and how it all works so bear with me! I was banded Friday, Dec. 3rd and have about 85 lbs. to lose. Diabetes runs in my family and I felt like a time bomb and have never been able to keep the weight off. It just crept up and up. I am very active and want to be able to exercise without the aches and pains. I am 5' 10" and 55 years old. I would like to stay in touch with those of a similar situation.

    I had a great experience so far and had my band done as an out pt. procedure. I was out at SAM's the very next morning and haven't had alot of pain. Today I did laundry and walked at the mall. I plan to return towork for awhile on Monday. I was fortunate to also have had it done laproscopically and had a great surgeon, Dr. David Provost. All I can say is so far so good!


  2. Good Morning!

    I have been Tricare approved and am into my first week of the Pre-Surgery Diet!

    Couple of questions?

    1. I have seen so many different 2 week pre-surgery diets.

    Is it ok to eat a slice of chicken or Turkey?

    2. I am drinking the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein drinks. I have tried chocolate and strawberry. So far so good.

    I am also eating oatmeal, applesauce, pudding, Jello and fresh veggies.

    Is it ok to eat the fresh veggies such as carrots and celerly?

    I could use any suggestions and support!

    I joined this group for some support!

    Super nervous!
