Banded 7/27, started pre-op diet 7/21 and down 13 lbs, mostly preop.

Can I join yall? I found out last week that my insurance approved surgery, but only if I have it before July is over! Seems since I started the process 2 years (!!) ago that I will have to redo stuff and resubmit to insurance if I wait any longer, so I am having surgery this Wednesday July 27! I was told to expect insurance to take 6 weeks to come back and they came back in less than five days! I am on a preop diet now, since I didnt even know I was having surgery until less than a week before I am not going to be on it for the 2 weeks my surgeon prefers. Luckily its really easy to follow, I can have real food for breakfast (choose two from: egg, bagel, toast, or yogurt), a protein shake for lunch (been buying the EAS protein shakes and like them enough) and then I can have one lean protein and green veggies for dinner and a protein shake as a fourth meal. I never get around to the fourth meal though, just make sure I keep my protein about 60-75 gms as my surgeon recommended. Ive lost 12 pounds on the preop diet! I am not worried about post-op, I am worried about something happening during surgery, but more than anything I am excited!
