Here it is, Friday the 26th of August and my surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday. I received the reminder call this morning. I am excited yet nervous (and I expect that I'll get even more nervous as the surgery grows nearer). This pre op diet is terrible. I believe I have everything that I will need after the surgery, ie, soup broths, gas x, liquid vitamins and liquid calcium supplements, a heating pad, a small pillow, protein shakes,loose fitting, comfortable clothing to come home in, my follow up appointment scheduled and Tylenol. I have even found a couple of cookbooks that I have ordered that is for people that have had AGB surgery. I just hope everything goes alright in surgery and I can start on my new journey to good health.

Started my Pre Op Diet....
· cantw82loosew8 · 08/18/2011 20:27
Well, I'm 3 days into my pre op diet. I am following the plan to the letter but finding that I'm still hungry. The Lean Cuisine meals aren't bad but they could stand to have a little more flavor and a little more to them. I keep telling myself that I won't feel hungry like this after the surgery, that's what is keeping me going. I stood on the scale this morning and found that I lost 2.4 lbs since Monday. That was nice to see, I must admit. I have been invited to a birthday party for one of the people that I work with this weekend and I declined, I know that if I go that will be it for the diet. I was told that I could have all the vegetables that I want which works for me simply because we have a huge vegetable garden with everything from squash & zuccini to 5 different types of tomatoes. I do wonder if it would make a difference if I were to pan fry the squash in a tablespoon on coconut oil? I had watched "Banded Wendy" on youtube and picked up on some great pointers which I'm going to try. I just can't wait until the surgery is behind me and I can start moving on with my new relationship with food and ultimately myself, It will be nice to look into the mirror and like what I see for a change.

Hi All,
Does anyone know of or could suggest any good cookbooks for post op lap band patients? I want to get my order in now so I will have them handy when I'm ready to go on to solid foods again. Any suggestions or recommendations would be very appriciated.
